For those calling for Lucas to get a game...short memories.
We've axed Garlett for ducking his head and being soft...and you want to bring in Lucas like he's the messiah?
Broke may be playing some average games, Tuohy too, but you can't question their courage. Lucas gives a bad name to outside receivers.
If we were a well oiled machine sitting top 4, you might think about brining in Lucas as the cherry on top. All he'd have to do is feed off the others and run. However, where we are currently scrapping and fighting for every kick, Lucas is a liability who cannot be relied upon.
Our onfield situation is no different to last year. In fact last year, being Micks first year, we were less oiled tha we are at present. I was one of the first to call for Licas's head, frustration started in the offseason comp ie watching his pissy little handballs seemingly given off for the purpose of avoiding body contact from opposition. But despite his deficiencies he gave us run, and was important in us getting over the line in some of the games in first half of the season. This year we seem to be missing that run. He's not the answer to our problems but Brock has done sweet FA. Each time he's in a contests with open space nearby his opponent beats him with pace and we get smashed the other way. At least Lucas can chase.
