Lukac is an athletic key forward who was a goal-scoring machine this season, piling on 35 goals in 15 games for the Eagles at Under 18s level. He stepped up to roll through the ruck and rotate forward for South Australia, showcasing his vertical leap. Whilst consistent at Under 18s level, Lukac was quiet in his two senior Reserves game despite matching it physically. He's a future key forward who has some upside.

Looking at his Under 18s season, Lukac averaged 2.3 goals per game, slotting 35 majors in 15 games, with more than 25 per cent of his disposals being a goal. His numbers began to steadily grow towards the back-end of the season, not having more than nine disposals across the first 13 rounds, but then strung together six consecutive double-digit games to close out the year. He had a haul of five goals, and three hauls of four, with his improvement set to be more around the stoppages once he's won the hitout, averaging only half a clearance per game despite having five or more hitouts in all bar two matches for the Eagles.
