    Does anyone know if Jake is studying or the like?

    A years paid leave at 22 ... at least there are some silver linings for him

    Not sure it's quite that. He'll be spending long hours doing rehab, you would think. And probably some rubbing of shoulders for the club

    You can do rehab anywhere in the world. Most people would advise getting away from the club until next preseason.

    There was a take on AFL360 of Jake saying he'd like to help out doing coaching or the like. Won't be going anywhere.

    Trac did at least some of his rehab in the USA under the guru already mentioned earlier in the post.   Seemed to have worked (at least so far MFCSS)  remarkably well.

    Perhaps a bit of both.

    One of the biggest wraps for Lever is his leadership and ability to read and understand the play.  Though only a relative youngster, this could be a valuable insight to developing players and defenders at the club.  

    I say get him involved on match days or down at the VFL help Keilty, Petty and co.

    If I were Lever after doing my knee, I'd be curled up in the foetal position crying my eyes out at how the world is so unfair.

    22, and just going about his business as usual. This bloke is so mature. He's a real culture-changer I reckon.

    He spoke very well.  Such an asset to the club even though he’ll be out for the rest of the year.

    He said he’d be pushing to be ready for Round 1 2019.

    What an absolute legend. Hats off to a young man who takes life in his stride. He’s clearly intelligent and will become an asset beyond the field at this club. We need more like him

    As a result of this disastrous injury, T Mac will be our number 1 key defender by round 18-19. I’m willing to put money on it.

    Meanwhile Hogan and Weideman will be our 2 key forwards.

    That defence they put out last Monday isn’t good enough to a) win a final and b) beat the good sides on the run home in order to qualify. 

    You can blame the midfield all you like but somethings seriously wrong with your defence when an American is dominating as if he’s Wayne Carey and a first year kid and Will Hoskin Elliott are kicking 8 between them.

    T Mac will have to go back and replace Lever’s leadership and there was absolutely none there last week. That’s why unfortunately Lever’s injury will have certainly cost us a top 4 spot and possibly even a top 8.

    Yes, T Mac’s 6 goals were lovely but they were merely wall papering over some bad cracks.

    He kept Instagram as people seem nicer but deleted the Twitter app off his phone, still has an account though

    Partial tear, and because he's 35 years old, they decided to roll the dice and leave it un-reconstructed. Don't be surprised if it doesn't hold up. 

    On the money there, it would seem.

    (This being in reference to Dale Morris returning after suffering an ACL tear in preseason)

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
