Is the kid just keeping it real, ie keeping a realistic edge on expectations, when he gives his second answer?

All i could think of was, "its a Miss Staker!"

What type of player are you?

A mobile tall forward with the versatility to go back or play on a wing.

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.

What are your strengths as a footballer?

I can read the play well and can play a variety of positions. Also marking and kicking at goals.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?

I need to improve my strength so that I can have more influence in a marking contest.

Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?

Western Bulldogs. My dad has barracked for them ever since his older brother played for them. I followed him.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?

My parents and brother have always supported me and come to games. They had the belief that I can do whatever I wanted to do, and football is no exception. They also sent me to boarding school to improve my football.

I certainly hope he is better than Staker

Yeah jeez.... aiming for the stars there Lucas...

I have to say... he screams Lynden Dunn to me.

i can never seem to get the afl videos to work. Could someone PLEASE upload a video of Lucas Cook to youtube and give me a link. I'm dying to check him out! I\d be very appreciative!

Yeah me neither Freak. And searching on Youtube isn't easy.

Dan, I'm picking up the very faintest hint of a blip of a gut feeling that the Melbourne picks have made you quite unhappy. But only quite.

Damn AFL and Bigpond. Anyone overseas can not see any of these videos. The

is pretty exiciting.

Can someone post or PM the videos to me I would love to see the highlights

It says he supports Western Bulldogs because his dads older brother (uncle) played for them... Is his uncle James Cook? I would say it is, he played for Carlton, the bulldogs and of course Melbourne!! He only played 3 games for us so lets hope Lucas is the star of the family!!

A little bit of maths wouldn't go astray there bud. James Cook is currently 36, so to be his younger brother, Lucas's dad would have to be no older than 35, meaning he conceived Lucas when he was 17 at most. Likely?

I'd be looking at Fred Cook, Graeme Cook or another Graeme Cook.

On a side note, I find it amazing that James Cook was only 26 when he broke down in 2000. I had always assumed he was older.

Yeah jeez.... aiming for the stars there Lucas...

Nothing wrong with claiming to be the same type of player as Staker. That's not the same thing as "I have the same ability as Brent Staker".

Haha but when a player compares himself to Luke Hodge or Jonathan Brown, suddenly he's arrogant and has a high opinion of himself...

You can read anything into those interviews, if you want it enough.

Is there a reason for the incredibly confusing thread title?

I'm not sure how it possibly makes sense to anyone.

Is it seeming that way?

Well that's unfortunate. I'm excited... mostly because of BPs record so far. If he picks a tall, he likes the tall. I'm pleased with the selections because we FINALLY have some height around the place.

But even when it's a whole bunch of early picks, I'm more reserved. I wait until they've played.

Yes, yes. But you know what I mean. You can compare your style to Staker... or a BETTER player that plays the same type of role. But don't worry, I'm not writing him off because of a puff piece...

On a side note, have you noticed how touchy people have gotten on here lately? It's like the opposite of what happened at 'ology in the last 12 months.

Lucas Cook. Hadn't looked to much into the discussion on him, but my main thought now is...

The shoe fits.

Yeah me neither Freak. And searching on Youtube isn't easy.

I had the same problem till I downloaded Mozilla. Hope it works for u

Thanks for that. Yeah. A Mac thing...

If James Cook is only 36 years old, why hasn't he been playing at the club on a one year contract?
