The Jake Lovett Thread

Featured Replies

 

Now didn't Healy have a son that was meant to be "the best of the lot" according to Schwarz..?

No?

I recall hearing that somewhere, but I've no idea of the kid's age.

I remember hearing the same from someone else, seems to have disappeared off the radar.

Maybe not such a bad thing if he is a F/S chance.

 

Exciting. Brett Lovett was an absolute star - one of the most underrated players of the time - remember him playing in Victorian team with Lyon. Rarely beaten and rarely wasted a possie across half back - gun.


Brett Lovett - one of my all time favourites and very under- rated. Hope his son has inherited his good decision making, coolness under pressure and ability to find space. Didn't he come to the Dees from the Hawks?

My favourite demon ever (apologies to Robbie)

I see he has played the one TAC and impressed. I wonder thats due to school commitments or maybe injury?

 

Looks fairly solid already!

I've heard he's been excelling for Peninsula.

Talk about red and blue bloodlines, Garry Lyon is Jake's uncle.


When's he eligible? next year?

Interesting to see Peninsula turning out some decent players. First Lachie Whitfield and now Lovett. I think the last AFL player they had was Stewie Lowe.

Yep, he's one for 2015.

Hopefully he gets more game time for the Stingray's once his school commitments have been completed.

Did Nathan Jones go to Peninsula? David Hille was also definitely a Peninsula boy.

awesome.

would love to build a father-son dynasty like the cats.

That would be good, but a premiership dynasty, with or without F/S, would be far better

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.

One of my all time favorites - Brett was as slow as treacle - but was courageous, strong overhead for his size, great decision maker and his number one feature - never ever lost his feet.

His father was a brick outhouse. legs like tree trunks.

Outstanding! Wonder if Roos has seen him play. I'm sure Viney will be all over it.

When did the club get Billy in last year to train with us? Will they do the same with Jake over this preseason?


I’m sure Melbourne would have had people watching Jake for a while now. Apparently did quite well playing school footy for Peninsula and has looked relatively comfortable in his few TAC appearances for Dandenong.

Was good for the Stingrays last weekend (19 touches off the bench) and looks very solid in the contest. Neat left foot kick (8 of 9 kicks were effective). Followed up the contests well too. Looks a very good inside mid prospect at this stage, and he’ll have a chance to help Dandenong into another final on Saturday.

Yep, Brett was slow like Sam Mitchell is slow. One of the best readers and users of the ball I've ever season. The people that matter have a very high opinion of Jake's future.

anyone remember the 1994 final against and Carlton when we shocked everyone and won. from memory Brett played on Greg Williams in the centre and was BOG. very skilful footballer by hand and foot. often played on bigger guys down back as he was so good one on one.

Great comparison Webber.

Will never forget it.

The Ox's BOG n 4 goal game, one of which was that 'Blind Turn'.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
