The Jake Lovett Thread

Featured Replies

Posted

Boys, in a pretty disappointing year, it's important to try and find some positives that we, as supporters, can look ahead to. Billy Stretch, son of Steven is one of them, really encouraging to see that he is in SA U18 contention. Jake Lovett is another one that looms as potentially another father son option.

Son of Brett, Jake has been selected in the Vic Country U16 team this year, and wil travel to Blacktown to play in the tournament in the coming weeks. Obviously it's a long way away until he could be drafted, and he has a lot of work to do, but he has nice size already, strong physique and really has a crack. One thing he does need to work on (this is just from one game that I have seen on Richmonds training oval before Queens birthday) is his fitness, doesnt exactly move smoothly around the ground. But a lot to work with there, and hopefully can do enough to warrant selection in the 2015(?) draft!

whats his height and weight??

Can't find the real stats online, but if I had to take a swing from face value it would be 184cm and 75-80kg? Nice frame, runs with a similar gate to the old man

if hes anything like his old man...

one of the most underrated players of all time, just a smooth mover and much like Robert Harvey he was almost untackle-able.

If my memory serves me correctly Brett may have even finished top 4 in the Brownlow one season?

Absolute gun.


Plays a few games with Frankston YCW U 18's

Brett Lovett - awesome

Agree.

Jake is a different player, he started in the square at the beginning of each quarter which suggested he was in the first selected midfield group. Whenever he gathered the ball in a contested situation, he would hit it hard and stick out a forearm to create some room before getting rid of it. Also took a ripper mark in the last quarter. Bit of Dusty about him

 

bring that on.

so that's three midfielders - two inside, one outside - from our 80s forefathers.

geelong had, what, a key forward, a key back, and a couple of mids?

how old are the ox's kids?

such a shame lyon's boys don't show this sort of talent!

It would be great if Billy and Jake improved enough to play AFL and chose to join us in 2014 and 2015.

He might put them forward for a coaching position?

Red...we'll be building a head of steam by then ( by all pyschic predictions ) ...Of course they'll elect to be Demons

as if its even up for discussion ^_^

So there's another F/S on the way. Jake Lovett, son of Brett, is playing for the Dandenong Stingrays in the TAC Cup. He's draft eligible in 2015.

Looks like 2016 could be a bit back-to-the-80s with Viney, Stretch and Lovett all possibly lining up in red and blue.


Heard about him last year. Has talent and is super tough apparently.

Viney, Stretch and Lovett running around again might bring us some success, god knows we want / need it.

get the lad training with the club!

Melbourne will be salivating over eligible father-son selection, Jake Lovett, who is the son of former club champion Brett. Although a different type of player to his father, Jake is a high-possession winning on-baller, with damaging disposal and a tendency to be aggressive. The only downside is that he the Dees will have to wait another year, as he is not eligible until 2015

I have waited 50 years I can wait a couple more.

those two would never get on the park!

i've always been thoroughly disappointed that dollars had three boys and not one of them show an aptitude for the game. gypped!

and this we badly need, about time we had some good father sons coming through, Viney looks the goods so far and it would be nice to end up like Cats and Doggies picking up 3 or 4 decent father sons within a few years of each other, which would help out with getting first pick of them above other clubs

Brett Lovett...too much weight, too slow and an absolute gun.

Rarely beaten one on one and very creative - loved him as a footballer.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
