does anyone know what the story of cook is at the moment.

He hasn't played any NAB games, nor is listed for this week. Also I don't remember seeing his name in the injury list.

Surely he should get a run if he is fit?

Had a reasonably serious operqtion at the end of 2011

Has been getting over that in the pre season

Played last week for Casey and got a goal in win vs Port Melbourne

Game was in very wet conditions and a low scoring affair.

Is Cook good?

 

Is Cook good?

Hard to tell - hardly anyone has seen him


Anyone seriously still maintain he was a better pick than Jack Darling?

That said, I sincerely hope he comes good. But, from the sidelines, it's pretty disappointing that he's not managed a single game in this year's NAB Cup if he's not injured.

It also concerns me that few, if any, here are talking about him knocking down the door for selection in the seniors in 2012.

 

Bails was very keen on silky skilled stick insects.

Surely Lucas Cook will be the last of that model for quite some time.

Lets just pray the kid steps up @ some point.

Darling/Cook............................Oh Dear!

Apologies. It was a fairly undisciplined post by me.

Like everyone else though, I am genuinely interested to read any updates on his progress.

Darling/Cook

Watts/Natanui

Scully/Martin

Oh dear!!!

Unlike Watts and Scully, Strauss before Zaharakis seemed a genuine surprise to most posters on this forum (and Demonology) at the time.


This thread is depressing.

Watts/Natanui

Oh dear!!!

Darling had an incident in some night club and West Coast made sure every recruiter knew about it - great tactic.

BTW, they also started the hype that young footballers get homesick from the west and want to return home - another great tactic

Who's their recruiter? Let's get him!

Let's not get going on the Jack Darling thing again.

Cook can play, he has good skills however I'm not sure if he has the grunt to make it.

It really concerned me when in an interview early last season he said he was looking forward to getting game time and development at Casey. Hardly pushing the bar there and maybe that came from the coaches. At least Neeld has told Leigh Williams that he will probably spend some time at Casey but not to limit himself, if he is kicking goals and playing good footy he will be looked at, it's up to him.

Lucas needs to set the bar high and go for it, none of this nice development rubbish. I mean look at young Tynan, he probably won't get a game first up but he also won't die wondering either. When I first saw him at training early in the year he looked like a young kid (he is) with a long way to go (he still has) but he really has applied himself and made big strides in a short time. Some of the others could take a leaf out of his book.

Saw Lucas at my work the other week, seemed like a really nice guy.

What really surprised me though is how big he is (vertically). However, until he puts on a few more kay gee's we aren't really seeing his full potential. Darling had the physique to step straight into AFL footy.

I'm reserving judgment on him, but I continue to be baffled as to why we went for him so early in the draft. One has to wonder if he would have been around with our second selection.


I saw Cook twice last year in the flesh and a couple of times on ABC TV games.

At no time did he fill me with delight.

However he seemed to be the third or fourth option with fev playing as well as Dunn , Bate etc playing a lot of games at Casey.

Then he got injured with a resulting operation very late in the season.

From the comments I have read it seems he had a limited pre season.

That probably is the reason he has not figured in the NAB games.

It would appear he has had a couple of reasonable games with Casey so far.

Will he make it?

Who knows, as some mentioned earlier he is a tall bean pole at present.

I serious doubt he is close to playing in the seniors at present.

He is evidently a nice kid but will a nice skinny kid make it at AFL level?

My biggest query is will he get heavier? Is he another Morton.

Some guys stay skinny.

I doubt he will be much use to the seniors this side of 2014

He is a first round pick and as such IMO we have no choice but to continue with him.

I'm reserving judgment on him, but I continue to be baffled as to why we went for him so early in the draft. One has to wonder if he would have been around with our second selection.

We took Howe with that one.

We took Howe with that one.

I guess if Howe continues to improve and Cook amounts to nothing we can say we did well out of the year.

Drafting is a lottery there is no guarantee that an early pick will be very good as a senior player.

The game is littered with first round players who did not make it.

 

We have to give the kid a go, he is a skinny 19year old who has been injured. He was stunted by Brendan Fevola joining Casey an then got injured. The MFC was ropable as it put the kid back 12 months

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
