One of my all time favourite movie moments.

Say it out loud and you might see why. I like Dean Towers for the same reason

Upon examination though, I think you do need a ruck. Cox will retire within a few years, there's no guarantee Lycett will be able to step up and I don't think you have any other real ruck prospects. Cool names aside, I think it's a position you should look to improve, maybe you'll look to recruit one of those big black americans in the rookie draft.

You're spot on.

if bolger falls to the rookie draft we should definately grab him

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Would love a ruck in the rookie draft. We could do with a project.

With McLovern clearly being a future star. We need a new rookie project player.

Meh. Whoever they deem the best option but it will have to be a local.

Word is West Coast have spoken to Lucas Cook...

Where's that word from? I'd be happy to rookie or pcik 72 (?)

Jay Clark on Twitter said this...not sure if he is a good source?

This article states he can be picked up for free before 13th of November

Though we would need to delist a player if we want to pick him up unless we plan to rookie him. I think its worth a risk as a rookie though as he was obviously talented as a junior.

Not quite

Instead of 3 ND picks + Dick, we would use 2 ND + Dick

The same guy who picked us to take Morton?

I'd be inclined to believe him.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

This would be it.

 

[Patron]

Not a big fan of cook tbh but i think Melbourne's development is that bad that any of their former first rounders are worth at-least a rookie.

 

[INSANE]

I played Cricket with Jay Clark, he's from Geelong and moved to Perth to write for 'The West'. So I tend to believe him regarding the Cats and the Eagles/Dockers.

But I don't rate Cook from what I saw in the VFL....Just one of those pasty, lethargic looking sticks....Said to have a big tank, but he runs with zero intensity so never looks threatening. Can take a Staker style pluck over a pack on the odd occasion.

I paid out on him for his Morton article when it first came out but then it actually ended up be correct.

Heard he has attitude problems (from bigfooty), but is clearly talented. A move to WA without the pressures of being a first round pick and removing the melbourne spud tag might do him some good.

Really comes down to what WCE think of the draft

 

[sTeeL]

They probably think that a 2nd year former pick 12 is better than Pick 72 odd

 

[Prem87]

Cook has really nice hands, can take a strong pack mark.

Maybe we can turn him into a key back?

We might end up with Gaff, Cripps, Darling and Cook all from the 2010 draft.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Would Lucas ever be captain?

 

[Marlin01]

Pretty hard to argue with that.

Melbourne could end up looking really bad out of all this or the Eagles may look like slow learners. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Interesting times ahead - I would love both to become solid AFL players - Melbourne's development of players over the last few years has been pretty poor.

We do seem to take on a lot of rejects lately. If this lot doesn't work out, you could assume that we might be a little more hesitant in the future.

I think it's also an indication of where the club sees itself in terms of premiership window.

Spot on. Additionally, it gives 'ready made' type cover if Brown's future is elsewhere.

 

[PRANKSTER666]

Meet Lucas Cook:

Which AFL player do you feel you resemble and why?

Brent Staker. Someone who is versatile but can play up forward or back depending on the team's needs and structure.

Also it provides us with another opportunity to rub it in dees supporters faces if they work out
