Player Watch Jack Lukosius

[PortAdelFC1997]

Yeah the talk of luko not being a kf or not being a key part of our team going forward should stop.


Was a key player , he’s going to be a good chf for us for years to come. Mitch luko is a great combination with a lot of years ahead.

Now to find the 3rd amigo to join them. Hopefully that’s Whitlock.

Todd the Marshal.

 

[Lefti93]

His set shots gave me a bit of a hard-on I won't lie.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

If he keeps kicking them like that then players are going to honour his short lead ups to the 50 a LOT more.

 

[The Hobo]

He's got a nice leg and kicked some nice long goals.

But until he actually starts to show a bit of care factor at chasing the ball, I'll remain unconvinced. I was glad Brereton pointed it out at one stage.

He's a slight upgrade on Finlayson but shows a similar lack of intensity to Finlayson most of the time.

Yeah the lack of intensity is a concern, but let's see. First game in months - so likely not got a great fitness base etc.

Kicked 79.72 for GC - not the most accurate, but I figured a number of those were long bombs coming out of defence or similar. Decided to do some digging:

2024 suggests those long bombs from outside 50 he nailed last week were not his usual level of conversion. Inside 50 looks decent though.

2023 looks a bit more accurate inside 50, and some huge ones from outside 50, but still suggests he won't be as reliable as we hope (not bad though)

. Must admit it's quite impressive.


Worth mentioning that these are not just set shots though.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Luko was smacking them from the pocket. Not sure but it felt like that made Georgi up his game too. So it was one of the very few highlights of the night was seeing our two talls slotting them through accurately.

Having another tall helps Georgiades stay inside 50 where he can just roam around and use his speed to mark the ball.

 

[ClintEastwood]

A slight upgrade on Finlayson?

Are you for real?

Pretty ****in real actually. Like the 30 or so people in the game-day thread saying how lazy and bad he is today.

I never said he doesn't have skills. But if you're a lazy **** most of the time, who gives a shit.

[Brian McGee]

Give him a chance to settle in. It’s his second game at the club, and have an uncanny ability to not kick to his advantage.he will work out fine.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I thought his last quarter was marginally better. At least contested the ball

 

[ClintEastwood]

Give him a chance to settle in. It’s his second game at the club, and have an uncanny ability to not kick to his advantage.he will work out fine.

Third. He's not gonna "settle in" if he doesn't put in a bit of effort occasionally.

 

[jackag24]

Played poorly but likewise his team mates did him zero favours

 

[Rash]

He is one to judge in 2026

All these matches he is playing in the last 6 games acts as a pre-pre-season.

 

[Brian McGee]

Third. He's not gonna "settle in" if he doesn't put in a bit of effort occasionally.

Like last week?

 

[240volt]

He can kick and mark
After that he drops away
We have to change that or we are stuck with a highly paid spud.

 

[Duck Farmer]

More flake than Sotos.

 

[GoPorts]

Needs to chase and pressure more but most kicks going to him went well over his head so he didn't even have much of a chance to complete in the air which is the main job for a tall forward.
I'd hope we can finally work on forward 50 entries under Carr and some sort of connection between lines. It's been a consistent failing that Ken covered up with 10 years of bomb it to Charlie and when that didn't work, bomb it to the pockets

 

[ClintEastwood]

Like last week?

Like last week what?

• That he kicked 3 goals?
• Or did he "settle in" last week?
• Or did he actually put in some effort, go at more than a jog, and chase people in the area last week?

If you think he did those things, I suggest you look again.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

The issue is that Lukoisus is not a bash and crash type of player. So it is annoying to see the players bomb the ball on a one on one. You can question his work rate and ability to chase when the opposition team has the ball in their defensive 50.

 

[TeeKray]

He's basically Bayley Fritsch

. Offers nothing except finishing and if he can't even do that then he's totally useless.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Expected him to kick goals as it’s the bottom side. Barely touched it.. non competitive.

He’s a lazy footballer, can’t wait to see him and toddy play together.. should be a barrel of laughs

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

He's basically Bayley Fritsch. Offers nothing except finishing and if he can't even do that then he's totally useless.

And he isn't a good finisher really. He occasionally kicks a nice long goal and has a weirdly good record in Cairns, outside of that he is extremely inefficient in front of goal.
