anyone know our surgery count for the off season?

Such an important player for the club and make no mistake, could comfortably become captain one day. I bloody well hope so !!!!!!

 

I wouldn't say  i was a Lever doubter but its fair to say nor was i completely sold on him.

But i could not have been more impressed with his attitude and approach in the last two games of the season, particularly in the horror game against the swans.. You learn a lot about people in adversity and when things are not going well. And Lever raised his intensity and will to compete and provided a clear example to others. That is leadership.

He makes a terrific point about the best defenses playing together regularly. Its absolutely critical and a huge reason why the Tiger's back half is so effective.

First pre season at the dees

He did the 2018 preseason with us.  This is will be his 6th preseason as an AFL football so has reached the point of being a 'hardened' AFL player (usually 5 pre-seasons), altho he looks like he could do with some weight and muscle!

His comment about there will be 'moments when he will roll his ankle or hurt his knee' (injuries that ruined his 2019 season, after recovering from his ACL) made me wonder if he expects them to recur.  Time will tell.  Hope he gets back to his best and gets a few good seasons happening.

Sorry to be pedantic: he was traded in at end of 2017 so he did his 2018 preseason wtih us.  He did his ACL half way thru the 2018 season.

Lots on here think the moving on of so many assistant coaches proves it wasn’t injuries that sent us tumbling this year.

Viney doing his first preseason in five years, Lever doing a preseason, Oliver doing a preseason and May not coming back like December Christmas feast will see us improve rapidly. 

Bring in Yze for some Clarkson IP and we challenge next year.

KK, J.Smith, AVB, Petty, Weid and all last years draftees also doing a full pre season would also help.

Plus Langdon, Tomlinson and maybe another handy new player, would further help.

Needs to bulk up by a few kilos. Shouldn’t affect his ability to intercept but will aid his ability to hold his ground against oppo forwards. 

Good luck Jake you deserve a good crack at it, along with half your team mates. I also agree MCQ that he needs to put on a few extra Kg's of muscle to help him hold his ground.

You'll be saying that a lot over the off season.  There will be puff pieces galore.

Your post is full of words. How do we know you want actions and outcomes? 

‘Making the most of the off season’...as opposed to sitting around all summer punching cones, smashing JD n Coke tinnies, eating Doritos and playing COD for 6 hours a day? What else would he say?! 

 

But in in all seriousness, I hope Jake can stay fit and have a big impact next year, will make a huge difference.

Jake Lever played in a Preliminary Final today for Ormond Amateurs in VAFA C Section.

Also in the Ormond team was former Demon Simon Buckley and his brother who’s the skipper.

Didn't help - they lost.

Swap choice of grog (beer) and video games (sport sims) and it sounds strangely familiar to my summers as a young bloke (winters too for that matter)

We won't properly challenge without outside run and a far greater ability to spread from the stoppages (something we've rarely demonstrated except for the very back end of 2018).

Richmond, Collingwood and the Lions all have pace and spread from the stoppages. We won't be competing with them unless we sort out our list shortages. If we do, our ball-winning ability will go along way to surpassing the aforementioned teams.

Natural leader of men, well spoken and can really play 

A good choice for captain

Outside run and spread is as much about structures and gameplan as personnel.

Don’t get me wrong I want list improvement but my point was we need someone from under Clarkson. He seems to be breeding people to make teams achieve.

Like him for how he plays but in terms of captaincy there is a touch of the figjam about him I'm still assessing

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
