Player Watch Jack Lukosius

[KanesBurner]

I have to admit I didn't watch the crows trial last week. Luko seemed to be under some fire from the comments here. I went to the internal the week before, it didn't appear to me Luko was lazy. He was making repeat leads pretty regularly as an outlet. He's not that contested marking guy, but he can still be useful to us if we use him right. Did we overpay for him? Maybe. The injuries thing is annoying, he was durable at GC. Now he comes to us and he's picking up injuries.

The thing that I noticed in both of the Trials was that every time Luko got space on his opponent the kick missed him by a mile and regularly favoured the defender. His strength is getting that space, if you kick it badly to him he’s not a 1 v 1 player and won’t look great. He definitely needs to improve there.

Hinkley promising Dan his trade was the smoking gun. Everyone else just tried to get the best deal imo.

Really it's Kochies fault for letting Hinkley run roughshod through the footy department.

Wasn't Davies also trying to get a job at Collingwood at the time?

Just the guy you don't want negotiating a trade with Collingwood.

Davies and Hinkley were kings at threatening to leave and scaring the club into bumping their pay and tenures.

Absolutely disgusting that our board bent the knee every time

Another thing about Luko is that he clearly used the Crows to drive up his contract that he got with us.

Can't shake the feeling of how screwed over we've been here.

Having a captain begging them to give him a blank check is pretty stupid too.

Butters wouldnt have allowed that kind of w***ery

Chad should shut the **** up, really. The Cornes crew really so love ingesting satchels and farming sour grapes.

Yep. Feels like a real dog campaigner move to bring up really personal specific things about a person after managing them to make a few extra bucks as well. Fine to criticise, maybe keep it a little bit higher level.

I'm willing to let it play out a bit with him before judging, mainly because we need him to help Mitch. If he's not picking up what Josh is laying down with the new culture (effort and attitude) after a decent string of games and I see pea hearted efforts then yeah I'll agree he's a waste of time and space.

In the race between Luko and Lord, Luko has the upper hand on natural footballing talent (especially kicking)

But Lord is DAYLIGHT ahead of Luko on physical effort and fitness.

Considering Carr said no to Finlayson, Burton & Stephenson on their lack of toughness I would be worried that Luko could fall into the same pile. I still think half back is a more logical position to benefit his kicking style.
