Lucas made his AFL debut in Round 3, 2010 against Essendon.[4] He was hampered by a hamstring injury throughout his first season, which kept him to only eight games, but he was the winner of the Carlton Best First Year Player award.[5] He struggled with injuries and form in 2011, playing only 2 games; but, in a small part of football history, Lucas was the first player ever to be substituted onto the ground under the AFL's revised interchange rules in Round 1, 2011, replacing the concussed Jarrad Waite in the season's opening match against Richmond.[6]
Lucas was delisted by Carlton at the conclusion of the 2014 AFL season.[7] He was redrafted onto the rookie list by the West Coast Eagles in 2015, but in two years with the club was unable to break into the Eagles' senior side, and he was delisted at the conclusion of the 2016 season without playing a senior game for West Coast.[8]
