Was just reading my local leader and came across this local guy who is closing in on 100 goals. Seems very skinny but worth a look consdering we got Leigh Williams last year.

Have a read of the article if you want:

He is also a nephew of Collingwood Football Manager Geoff Walsh.

    Lucas Cook would have kicked 300 goals by now at that level, already got enough skinny forwards without rookieing one who wouldn't play AFL ever.

    been watching him play a while now, has got serious talent, all the attributes to make it at the top level, yes he is skinny but has broad shoulders and on the right program I feel could fill out. 100 goals in any league is a huge achievement, yes its only division 3 but he can only perform at the level his team's playing at. not many kids his age would deal with the brute bodies of an amateur league, and at 6'5 his pace is quite rare. leads well, grabs well. the kid can play and it was only last week that I saw collingwood recruiters watching his games, could do a lot worse and at a rookie pick we're not giving up much

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
