Jake Lever injury - Confirmed ACL

No concrete news yet, but there was a clip on afl.com of him leaving the hospital/doctors being harassed by journalist and he was walking unaided with a barely noticeable limp. When probed if he'd done his ACL he said not sure and doctor wasn't sure and he didn't wanna talk about it further. I feel if it was full blown ACL he'd have been on crutches? I'm still hopeful it's just a strain and he'll be back after 4-6 weeks.

Clip of Lever is in the first part of this video http://www.afl.com.au/video/2018-06-03/rance-will-be-embarrassed

Also, great to see Rance come under attention in a negative way for once. The guy's a dirty cheating piece of sh*t, and probably the most over-rated player in the history of the game. Never seen a guy get so much praise for losing so many one-on-one contests. When I checked 2 weeks back, he had conceded the second most amount of goals out of all full backs this season, despite Richmond flying!

    Someone mentioned Fritsch in the role......i thought that was a good suggestion. Hes a done well everywhere else hes been put and is a deadly kick.

    Agree with you on form, but he is subject to an injurious mozzie-swat with that build and the Filth like to crush the smaller guys. Big body, big leap, strong, a two-feet 'lander' for stability and take-off. Frosty and/or Pedersen from the bench.

    Yes your correct with the build i guess, but i was thinking more along the lines of that drop back sweeping role that Lever was doing so well. Not so much thinking of the Filth game, but for the remainder of the season. Pedo is ok, and i really like Frosty but im not sure how the form is going.

    Viney mentioned a few names on the footy show as possible replacements and good to hear him mention Keilty second after Frost. It could mean little or maybe he’s really rated down there. Positive plug nonetheless.

    Hahaha 
    I've grabbed screenshots and attached below. Have a look at Dive 1-4. Can see McKernans arms clearly beside Rance, doesn't even touch his back let alone push it, Rance misjudges ball and then launches into a superman dive to milk a free kick. Pathetic. He'll get a fine for diving/staging, but I'd rather than suspend him, as he's a repeat offender and dirty player in our game. Still can't believe he's so adored after king-hitting Watts in the back of the head. Commentators talked it down saying he was frustrated! 

    Has there been any news on radio today about Lever anyone?

    Bloke sounded gutted when outside AAMI last night.  I wish him all the best. 

    I think we have two options, bring in Smith as a zone/ intercept replacement or bring in a taller player as KPD replacement. 

    Personally, I think Smith gets the nod because he fits the structure, is more flexible (less one dimensional) and the coaches love him. I'm worried that teams with multiple tall (195+) forwards may exploit this, but we'll back our structure to prevent one on ones. 

    Absolutely disgraceful the way AFL paid journalists are allowed to interrogate players who have just had their year ripped out of their careers. The man must be heartbroken and to have that happen is inexcusable.  

    Suggest the AFTPA write into the next EBA that door-stopped injured footballers in their workplace is disallowed.

    Waking unaided after ACL tear pre-op isn't unusual.

    Great thought, throwing Razor but I don't think he could be thrown far enough away by anyone.

    Agree it’s not, but I must say he was walking quite quickly and striding a bit which I thought was a little different.

    Wouldn't he need a transfer to St.Kilda to be able to throw dwarfs?

    Pity Brooooose wasn't commentating - would have collapsed in orgasmic ecstasy about the "brave attempt to spoil".

    Yep. Good friends with Jake i think

    Surely we’d know by now if it were a definite ACL. He’s walking around pretty well too. Some hope

  • Quote

    Fingers crossed. I’m setting my expectations low 

    If I expect it’s a career ender I may be pleasingly surprised 

  • Quote

    More hope yet. Generally, when a club suspects a torn ACL, it is usually confirmed pretty quickly. Surely a good sign that there is no confirmation at this stage...

    • 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.

      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.
