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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
