Kane LUCAS

2016 Digest:   Averaged 23 possessions a game in the WAFL and had 30 touches or more six times, but couldn’t get an opportunity for West Coast. Remains on the list after previously playing with Carlton. Needs to improve his disposal.

2016 NAB Cup:   There’s depth all through the midfield. Needs some luck to break in.
