Player Watch Jack Lukosius

[Spadge]

Darren Burgess went to the crows because Port didnt want to pay him the asking price.
Now they are top and look fit and strong with hardly any injuries. Look every bit premiership material

We pay peanuts and get monkeys. Our so called "high performance" team have taken a guy who never got injured, and now he is about as injury prone as Orasio Fantasia is.

We need a complete broom out of our entire high performance / fitness staff

 

[all seeing eye]

Calf injury right?

Shouldn’t be getting those under the age of 30. It’s a bad bad sign. Often recur. Hard to rehab. Hard to prevent once you get one.

Probably a result of missing most of the year and then trying to push the fitness back up in a short time.

 

[PAFC66]

The guy can be good but needs someone to know what they're doing
Hardwick isn't stupid.

It's always been about money for us for a long time. Such a shame.

Burgess comment is revisionist he screwed with us, but yes the fitness dept like other areas needs a major review.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Hardwick isn't stupid.

That’s debatable.

and no one in the league thought Jack was tough or contested player. Didn’t stop Port, Crows, Pies, Lions, Sydney, Melbourne and Sr Kilda chasing him.

 

[all seeing eye]

No probs with what I saw tonight, competed well and had some class moments.

He left Port to take up a position in the premier league.. so what

Everyone knows he is at the top of his field. He wanted to come home, Port could have had him
Koch chose to get the sooks on and he went to our crosstown rival who are absolutely flying, are fit and strong and have played the least amount of players in the competition this season.

We could and should have taken him back, instead we have bargain basement "promote from within" high performance and we are slow, unfit, injury riddled, and completely gassed by the 4th quarter of games

Ruthless clubs wouldnt let someone like Burgess slip through their fingers

This has been our club for some years, always looking for the cheap option going back to Primus.
Hopefully with the appointment of Carr this isn’t a continuation of the same.

No club that took Burgess back after the way he ****ed us over last time would be considered ruthless. It would be the ultimate cuck move to do that.

I guess in that case we should just be happy with a high performance team that resembles something from a div 6 amateur league club

Yep. There’s nothing in-between.

 

[Doctor Feel]

lol misses one week with a calf, comes back, explodes the calf in a dead rubber.

Classic Port.

Id go with that.

They are focused on Kens final game.

They have put that above player management.

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

Walked into one of the worst fitness departments in the comp unfortunately

Do we even have a fitness department?

 

[PAFC66]

Once that Irish guy McKeown left in 2021 that was it..Stuart Graham was promoted ... Like everyone else in this club , hired from within and we went to shit.

 

[Us against the rest]

With some good coaching from Carr and a better game plan with good forward movement, Jack will be a very good player, especially when JHF is back with his delightful kicking skills.

Luko would be the biggest beneficiary of getting NWM

Not true they didn't go after him because he's skinned out on the club three times, twice in this era it's completely understandable to be in the fukc him mindset.

Burgess isn't the grand poobah of fitness it's such a w@nk.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Typical luko game did a couple of good things and then a couple of shit things, dropped a sitter early and then a stupid torp attempt that cost us a goal.

Stood under a high ball with courage kicked a great snap goal..

Frustrating footballer to watch

 

[PJ Power]

He’s frustrating but we did miss him in the last quarter.

 

[backtozero]

Think he's been good in the very short time he's been healthy this year. Fingers crossed for a strong partnership with Georgie next year.

A three-pronged fwd line with Marshall would be ideal, but the concussion risk will never go away.

 

[GoPorts]

He’s frustrating but we did miss him in the last quarter.

Yeah, apart from Rozees snap we never really looked like kicking a goal in the last half of that qtr. Georgie taking marks 60m+ from goal with no target inside 50 was the best we could do.
Felt like the prelim against Richmond where you just knew we weren't going to be able to get it done.
Frustrating to watch when you know the only fallback the players have is "just work harderer"

Frustrating is a word that’s going to used a lot in his time at Port.
We need to get used to it.
