Talk about everything Essendon. Past, Present and Future if it's about the Bombers this is the place to be.

Lucas to CHB

Post by hillchaser »

Given that we have just lost Fletcher and with Lucas finding no joy up forward is there a possibility that he could go back to CHB ?

Nope. He could maybe play a role as a loose man in defense, that's about it. I assume he can still read the play alright - you don't lose that - but there is no way that he could keep up with the younger tall forwards at the moment. He's not quick enough off the mark and can't turn around quick enough if they double back.

His foot skills have deserted him, too. Disposal efficiency for this season is running at just over 60%. That's causing us plenty of headaches up forward but it would be a disaster if he was down back.

He's a champion, though, and he still might be able to turn it around. Give him until mid year.
