The Jake Lovett Thread

Featured Replies

 

Speaking of father-son prospects, young Cooper Schwarz has just been on the radio with his dad, and it was mentioned that he has won a Victorian championship in basketball.

Considering the lack of a decent talent path in that sport in Australia unless you're in the very top bracket; his father's own success as a young basketballer; and the transferable skills that are conducive to success in footy...

I dunno.

Just promising signs, I guess.

I've long held out hope for Coop.

Has his voice broken yet?

By the look of this photo taken this year, attached to HS article, i dare say he is a few years off even getting pubes, so is many years off showing any signs of being a father son prospect. Although i will say that i hope he inherits his mother's knees.

Maybe a Cooper Schwarz debut on Queens Birthday this year to excite the masses?

He can't be any younger than when we started looking at Billy Stretch.

Jack Viney was in utero when signed to a contract...

 

I see Lovett played on the weekend but didn't get in the best again. I wonder if he is in contention with Vic Country.


Anyone know anything about Hamish Brayshaw at the Sandringham Dragons?

Brother of Angus?

too slow lovey ;) ????

The game has changed a lot since his dad played. If he can't build a tank then he desperately needs to be great at almost everything else.

Can you reserve a FS for a rookie pick? I'd guess we'd use our fifth or sixth rounder if nobody else shows interest. Either way, just hope he builds into some ripping form.

I'm pretty sure you can get a FS with a rookie pick. Didn't essendon get Jake Long as a rookie this year?

Any news? Is he playing in the U18s championship?

believe he's in the vic country squad but didn't play first state game on sat

need to keep him well hidden

Can he play? His numbers don't seem too inspiring for a key midfielder playing in the guts.

From The Herald Sun:

The Demons have shown interest in the inside midfielder, who spent a week training at his old man’s club and was given a fitness program to follow during the early part of the year. Has has a solid if not spectacular season for the Dandenong Stingrays, averaging around 15 disposals a game.


From all reports in the media and what has been suggested it sounds like he will be lucky to get a rookie position at this stage (see what happens for the rest of the year, still a lot of time).

A rookie pick would be ideal as we can develop him for 2 yearsand still promote a vandenburg etc. He may be the type to develop later with endurance.

Jake suffered a bit of a set back with a hip injury that has hampered his season, while it has not been an impressive season to date, I am told the Club is aware and will monitor his progress.

Expect him to drift right out of contention with so called experts, but my understanding is that he will be in contention for drafting come end of year.

He should be a demon regardless. Adds to the romance of the Demon uprising. Viney, Lovett, Stretch.

Good for memberships for the older crowd. To have old names running around is good for the club. Lovett sounds like an ideal late pick - that could reap rewards.

Inside ball winners are good picks anywhere in the draft - let alone later on.

If we can get him for the right price and he will be the best available then we go for it. I don't want to do what the Pies have done and pass on guys like James Stewart and Jake Kelly to only see them blossom elsewhere. If he has the potential to be a player and he is there for the right price then I would hope we would jump all over it.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
