You could get a job writing headlines for the Hun.

I think it's pretty clear he doesn't have a spot at the MFC considering he has been playing Casey 2nds and hasn't cracked a senior game in two years.

Depends on how much he can develop as a 20-22yo imo

Could easily surpass Dawes, maybe not?

Im pretty sure we picked him up the same year as mcdonald and howe yeh?

look how far those 2 blokes have come, if he's not cracking the casey firsts, perhaps its just not going to happen.

I had faith for a while, but lucas not getting a game in the firsts has stretched the faith.

So far it looks as if Cooks development is going backwards, so I can't see him coming close to the player Dawes is.

Plus it looks like Dawes has about 53kg on him.

He could easily run past Dawes, but Dawes would simply run through him.

With a healthy Gawn next season there's the option of a Jamar and Gawn, Fitzy or Spencer as a Ruck/forward combination.

The best Cook can hope for is a good year of development to improve his standing.

He could easily run past Dawes, but Dawes would simply run through him.

He is 19 or 20, and Dawes turned spud spec this year, no guarantees he will come good, this is the gamble we take with Dawes.

I like Cook and have hope, if dawes had had 2 season of his best it would be much much harder but 2012 dawes is not a high bar to surpass imo

We could give Cook another five years and all we would end up with is another Newton / Molan / Rogers / Smith debacle.

When a player is no good, and Cook is clearly not ever going to become an AFL player (or even a decent VFL player at this rate), the best course of action for all concerned is to call it quits.

He's no Captain, thats for sure

not for any of us to conclude especially since the kid hasn't played a game yet. some take longer than others to develop. Smith wasn't a debacle. He took massive screamers! and ended up a pretty resolute defender

He means Nick

Update: Probably missed an expertly hidden gag.

Very lame, D - L, very lame.

Depending on how trades pan out he may get one more year. If anything is offered for him I think he will be gone, considering who we are looking at.

Not only is he cooked, he's burnt, wrapped up and ready for the bin....

Add Hogan and Dawes to the forward line - no room for Lucas.

One could very well say no room for Watts either, particularly if we get Pederson who could fill CHB.

Heck at least he has some trade value, as opposed to Cook.

Cook may find a niche down back. No point riding him off at such any early stage

Absolutely miffed that a guy can be picked at 12 and 2 years later have a relatively injury free year and still be plodding around in the Casey Reserves. Someone has severely stuffed up here. Lucas obviously isn't cut out for AFL football, which is fine, but I find it amazing that a high pick can be used on someone so far off the mark. Pretty sure Barry Prendergast won't be putting this one on his resume if he is given the arse by Malthouse and is on the lookout for a new job.

Lucas Cook is "extra" burnt. He was worth a pick 30-40, and Bailey/Predergast chose him at #12 (yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy). We missed Shaun Atley (expected at 6-10 pick), Ben Jacobs & of course Jack Darling.

Prendergast should hang his head in SHAME.

Haven't we done this to death, or are some posters just bored and thought wny not give a few people a kicking AGAIN........and read the review....Cook had an interrupted season.......

If he gets delisted then the Footy Dept will have their reasons, if he doesn't same applies....nothing written on here will change that

Can we just stop having a go at this kid. There are many others on our list that havent fired a shot either. Id be getting rid of Petterd Bate and Morton before Cook

No, but his goose is.

Cooked ?? Have they even lit the gas yet ?
