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.

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.

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.

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.

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

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
