I'd still like to see Darling rotated into the midfield on occasion as well. He still has a lot of work to do on his close in disposal, but he's strong, aggressive, a brutal tackler and is a risk-taker.

Straight down there yesterday morning after being drafted apparently.

Good to see

I agree, i never said any of the depth we have is quality. Just that we seem to have a fair bit of it now.
Duggan, Sheed, Cavka, Colledge, Tunbridge, Wellingham/Hutchings, Maginnes, Newman, Mcginnity, Lamb (at a stretch) and Nelson (at a stretch) you'd think are all options and will most likely be playing through the WAFL at stages in 2015.
Should one of our starting midfield (Shuey, Gaff, Priddis, Masten, Selwood, Wellingham/Hutchings) go down, you'd think we have plenty of depth already as coverage.
Don't mind Lucas, but would rather we started addressing other areas. Despite our midfield being the biggest cause for concern.

Surprised he wasn't hanging around on the sidelines kitted up waiting for his name to be called.
Didn't leroy jetta hang around our pre season last year even though he was on the bombers list?
Interesting read that most have in as a WAFL player. Have you all forgot about our current midfield? It aint that good so it is not like he has to much to do to be noticed.
He is no star as rightfully said by many but lets not over rate what we have. He is coming to a club that has a bottom 5 midfield probably. if I was a mid at another club We would be one club I would want to come to as the opportunities are better for mids.

From everything I've heard Kane Lucas and Mitch Duncan are, allegedly, the two biggest flogs to ever come out of Trinity. I don't think he'd have too much trouble with blokes like Robinson. Not sure what your issue with Murphy is though?

The problem with our midfield is it lack star players. We actually have a fair amount of decent midfielders, but no elite midfielders. It won't be any easier for Lucas to break into our midfield given that he is poor-average.
Good luck Sugar at the Eagles, hope you find success at your new home. However, you will always look better in navy.

Similar age, and Perth is a small place, hard to not hear things. Obviously many blokes mature/change a lot from high school, so it could be out of date.
I just find it strange Spaceclef would say Lucas would have a problem with Robinson/Murphy without backing it up with anything.

Often, these types of rumours are started by jealous little shits who wish they could achieve the success of their intended targets. Now, the rumours may be true but rumours and innuendo are a waste of time.

Yeah no doubt, although considering the people I heard it from, I don't think it's the case here, but on the whole I care far more about Lucas's ability to play football than his off field persona. I was just attempting to illustrate the point that there is no evidence to suggest Robinson/Murphy had any effect on Lucas's time at Carlton at all.
As an unrelated aside, I've heard great things about Colyer, Fyfe and Brandon Matera.

No doubt, it's more the case that I would prefer to meet and observe the nature of the person before passing judgement on them (unless irrefutable evidence is presented). Then again, I'm not what you would describe as a people person so that automatically places me in the dickhead basket.

Jeez, you'd think Lucas was a mega superstar that we had got in a massive recruiting coup with all the attention it is getting. . .

Given how most of our recent recycled recruits have gone, I'm not holding very high hopes here.
A press conference is pretty standard for all new recruits.
