Great video. Looks like a natural footballer who can take a good grab and moves well.

Interesting that he could/would be used as a midfielder after playing most juniors as a backman.

As long as p2 & 3 go on the best midfield talent available (and Lever fits in this) then brilliant! Get him in.

If we pick up a McCartin or Wright I would be a little bit devastated as can't be bothered in investing in talls anymore.

I think it would be widely known by clubs that Lever is the most talented kid in this draft pool.

Big call but i reckon could be a bona fide star. A cross between Nat Fyfe and Jeremy Cameron.

The double edged sword is that he could go that way or (hopefully not) end up with issues like Anthony Morabito.

Risk vs Reward, yes, but I say we go for it. Players with the full compliment of attributes don't grow on trees.

3.2 seconds for the 20m sprint at the combine is surprising. I know he did an ACL but he looks a lot faster in the highlights than 3.2 seconds. Trengove ran 2.97 in 2009.

I think most of the highlights were last year, before his knee reco?

Still, you'd think he'd recover a bit more speed over 10 months.

20m sprint results can be deceptive. In reality you are very rarely sprinting from a stationary start - one example of this mentioned yesterday on TR was Billy Hartung who looks quick on the field but only tested at a 3.2 sec too.

or Dom Tyson

Who did a PCL not an ACL and isn't a tall.

But yeah I don't know the relevance of 20m sprints. I mean it's such a short distance anyway, reaction time would be important and maybe he's not comfortable bursting out of the blocks.

You rarely sprint from a standing start in footy so it might all be rubbish.

Do you have his agility? If he did well in the agility after a knee reco then that's enough for me.

If we're going to draft him I hope we get Richmond's medical staff to check his knee out.

AT least send him to the people who do Richmond players Scans

Yeah he sounds lik our usual draftees, injury prone and unlikely to fulfil his potential. Also struggle to play seniors this year. He is a shoe in

Ha ahahahahahahaa Sadly you are close to the mark

Which goes to show that the 20m sprint testing can be deceptive, Trengove prior to all his injuries was never considered fast.

another high draft pick we will ruin

He must be praying the MFC don't draft him

As will every other kid projected to go in the top 3

Under New Management

I'm going to take a punt that we will take Brayshaw & Lever.

Surely it's time to move on from this line of thought.

It's getting soooo old. Did Salem, JKH and Tyson not show you anything this year?

Move on.

i think that he could be a star with a highlight package like that but if he has already lost some speed is it worth taking the punt on what could turn out to be a daniel menzel?

i kind of want the MFC to take the safer choice this time around

In order of preference:

Petracca

Brayshaw

Lever

Wright

Wouldn't be dissatisfied with any of them.

We need to get at least 1 of Petracca or Brayshaw though. Petracca is almost no chance, so Brayshaw + Lever (my preference) or Brayshaw + Wright (doesn't sound too bad either)

Maybe. but next years draft is supposedly stacked with midfield talent so this may be their best chance to get an elite forward prospect

Greg Clarke is going to continue growing and will be a first round lock in for next years draft. Other kids will grow over the next few months and swing into calculation. Saints will do what we should have done under Prendergast all through those years and pick the best available

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
