Just don't 'Pagan' the kid by destroying his natural attacking flair - like a certain former coach did with Bryce Gibbs in his first season by playing him in the backline.
You bloody D#^*khead, where else will we play him other than the "Ants" in positions of where he needs to be trained.Where should we play him?
He says he preffers midfield but dont no if he will fit straight in there. I think we will start him at foward flank or on the wing.
Your thought ?
He is pretty solid already and has the skills so may be able to step up sooner from Ants to Blues
everybody in our season review said we did not rotate the midfield enough - the more the merrierWho do we drop for Lucas in the middle then? I'll assume Gibbs, Murph, Judd, McLean and Joseph are safe. Simpson? Carrots? Robinson? Houli? Scotland? Hadley? Lucas might be as skillfull as some of our guys, maybe even a shade more, but they have experience and the better bodies on their sides. Expect to see him chilling in the ants except for the percentage boosters.

Would have to play wing, or HF flank initially. Looks to be a highly talented, skillful, and creative playmaker. Doesn't have the strength yet to take on fulltime midfield duties. The guy's incredibly driven, and I wouldn't be surprised if he does the impossible and forces his way into the side for the round 1 Bleakmond game. As mentioned, could play a Simmo type role.
Playing off a HFF (with Yarran) is where id have him starting.
Not sure you would play Betts, Yarran, Garlett and Lucas together on the forward line just yet. Too many light bodies for mine. I think when Lucas gets the nod Ratts will probably start him on a wing - giving his tendency to run and bring others into the game it would be a great place to set up scoring opps.Not a bad idea. Both talented, creative playmakers, both very quick and good overhead. Prefer Yarran a kick and a bit out from goal where he can use his creativity. Eddie is the close-to-goal crumbing specialist, and Garlett's kinda in between. Also going to be interested in seeing how Kerr progresses over the preseason - looks to be a natural medium forward. So many small, medium and tall forwardline options. For years everything was built around Fev, and not getting in his way. Now all of a sudden there's opportunity for the other forward line talent. Just hope we manage to settle the structure early on.
He was drafted to be rotated through the mid field ?
You are all mostly talking KP ??
I reckon Judd being awol for the first games gives this
young bloke a chance. But at 78 kg ? Crikey, they gotta
get some KFC into the dude....
Probably rightNot KP, Forward, there is a difference.
Not all forwards are 190cm plus and mark and kick goals.
KFC would probably bloat the kid and severly reduce his fitness.
I realise that was a joke but come on, you could of just as easily said "get the kid in the gym and don't let him out till March" same weight gain effect, less likely to puke all over teammates
I can now say officially wablues will sponsor Kane Lucas for 2010 and beyond. We look forward to a close relationship with him and our current youngman David Ellard.Don't suppose you saw much of him during the year at East Freo did ya Guns? Either on TV or live?
