Kane Lucas

The blues would want a KPP so from Hawthorn, maybe Lisle might want more opportunities? Really don't want to lose him but he isn't getting many opportunities.
 
Never really rated him, got a lot of hype in his draft year for a couple of high possession games but butchered most of his disposals, he's a soft outside type, and lacks footy smarts and his footskills are a bit iffy, i'd stay away from him.

This proves two things:

1. You don't know anything about Lucas

2. You need to have a word to your recruiting staff if you don't want the soft, outside, fringe dwelling types.
 
Lake is 30 before 2012 starts. And his body is completely ****ed.

I'd give up an early 2nd rounder at best.

Thats fair enough but, he COULD still have 2-3 AA years left in him, and that would be all Carlton needs for a flag with all their young players getting another year of experience, if Lake got his body right he could be the difference between winning a GF and not winning a GF for carlton.

Also from what people have been saying, Kane's body seems pretty ****ed too.
 
Do Carlton really need a KPF? Is Luke Mitchell ready to go next year?

Massive talent for sure but he only played one VFL reserves game this year with shoulder operations either side of it to go with an injury plagued 2010. Looks like he could be a good player but won't be ready to hold down a spot in an AFL team next year. I'd say without a doubt a KPF is our biggest need.

Gee what a surprise. You're really hurting from last week aren't you?

Grab a tissue box son.

lol, nah we aint hurting now, last night was salvation....Personally I rate Lucas, and I think he could be of real value to our team, you boys showed we need greater midfield spread.

These people who dont rate him probably didnt rate Yarran either, i've seen enough in Lucas to suggest he can make it.

The criticism is spot on. A soft outside footballer with ordinary footskills; so ordinary in fact that Carazzo can keep him out of the carlton team.

The sort of player one of the West Australian clubs will throw a lifeline to in a few years, when carlton work out that being a first round draft pick does not necessarily make you a decent footballer.

His problems are related to his running style (ala Rioli), and much of this year has been used to change the way he runs. This is one of the reasons he has had a pretty down year.
 
Carlton should offer Lucas up for Daniel Talia...........

In all seriousness there are a few older guys like Heath Scotland who Lucas will need to replace in a few years.
 
what do essedon supporters think of this trade

jake carsile for kane lucas plus a swap of picks

Your description sounds like Matt Rosa when he first started out. Rosa improved dramatically, but it took him 4-5 seasons to come good.

I'd offer WC's 1st round pick and Callum Wilson for Kane Lucas.

With Embley to retire soon, Lucas has time to develop at WC behind Rosa and Gaff.

So you want a 2nd yr, 1st rd pick player for a pick in the 20s in a WEAK draft plus a player you will likely delist ??? Where do we sign !!!!!!! :eek:
 
He's only rated b/c he was taken high by a recruiter, with a questionable strike rate. Even when he wasn't injured, the likes of David Ellard were getting games ahead of him.

Very vanilla & no elite traits.

That's not exactly the case T8
Lucas has had some serious soft tissue injuries that knocked out his very promising 2010 and the whole of 2011, even though he was playing.

A quality player that for reason or another has not had the luck of the draw through injury and subsequent form. (See Shuey)

Not the player I'd want the CFC to lose.
