Player Watch Jack Lukosius

Are the groins still an issue, they can be horrible injuries to get over when its more a wear and tear overuse thing. It could definitely be making him slow and not as potent with his kicking.

Not trying to make excuses but players don't suddenly lose pace, agility or kicking penetration if there isn't some form of injury they are managing.

He definitely looked slow, which invited additional pressure.

I think Bergman is injured too.

Remember those early days of Robbie gray

when he always seem to be carrying a niggle of some sorts, he was still good but it actually took the year off with the acl to get all his overuse injuries right and after easing back into it in 2013, absolutely exploded from 2014 onwards.

I'm not saying that luko is anywhere near Gray's level but sometimes we don't know the full story.

Dixon got smashed towards the end of 2024 from every supporter but he was carrying multiple injuries and then got a bout of whooping cough and yet everyone thought he suddenly lost the ability to run.

I want to see Josh Carr and not Hinkley work with the List Management team.

I don't think Carr will be looking to get Soldo but he will be wanting young talent from the draft or trading.

I still don’t believe the coach has control on who we draft.
I’d say he has some input on what type of players he requires.
I believe the recruitment team handle that because it’s their job.
The list was built by Davies and co.
Unfortunately the co is still there and I don’t trust them to get it right.

I don't 100% know but it would be bizarre if the coach doesn't have a fair whack of input into the List Management.

If I was the coach, it would be one of the main areas I would have my tendrils in. Player talent and the type of players you like is super important because you have a certain type of gameplan that demands certain players. Think those Hawks teams and their kicking skills.

Supposedly Hinkley picked Joe Berry.

I like Aliir and he's been AA but I like my key defenders to be able to defend one on one, kick well and one grab. He's a very good player but he wouldn't fit with how I would want my backline to function. However, a guy like Luke Trainor I like.

I wouldn't have picked Berry because he didn't impress me in the championships and I hold them higher than local play among other reasons.

I hope Carr has a very strong say, well not a strong say but a very good working relationship with the List Management guys.

I hope you are right, Willsy.

 

[all seeing eye]

The fact he's still kicking long distances comfortably makes me think otherwise, but could still be.

Out for extended period with groins, folks we have been royally ripped off , dudsville.

Correct. No good.

he’ll he as impactful this week as he was last week…

 

[Adam_23]

6-8 weeks out. Been a disaster of a pick up so far.

 

[manureid]

Did we keep the receipt ffs?

 

[240volt]

6-8 weeks out. Been a disaster of a pick up so far.

Lucky he’s got 5 more years to get better.

 

[Nelso]

Return to sender.

 

[LP7_]

Weakest player we’ve ever had.

 

[rainwizard39]

We’ve been fleeced by the Suns

 

[JUSTWORK]

What a bust he is becoming.

 

[ctpower]

Ah for crying out loud 6-8 weeks.
What a disaster of a trade.

 

[The Hobo]

The only positive from all this is that it explains the slowness and the laziness.

Yet another medical department failure with the bringing a player back that's not ready.

 

[PatientMental]

Worst trade in our clubs history

Thanks Kenny and Chris

You thundercampaigners

 

[Brian McGee]

This isn’t something we could afford… Our medical department has a bit to answer for here. Basically didn’t miss a game through injury in 5 years at Gold Coast. We have one of the worst injury lists in the afl this year. Hope they up their game.

Apparently so

We have 1 hamstring and 2 groin injuries

The rest are basically unavoidable

 

[Powerade 08]

This guy should spend the rest of the year training for an NFL contract. Carr, please get it done.

Use the freed up cash to get literally any free agent, don’t care who.

 

[snozulu]

When does his contract expire?

 

[PatientMental]

When does his contract expire

2030

 

[Portmagpies36]

Said it at the time worst trade of all time, and we think we can build a side around this guy? Beggars belief
