Signed today

Explains his good trial game. Hope he keeps up the same form....

 

hopefully they flattened out his salary to help load up on clarry and salo

He’s had his payday and would be aware of that, we’ve had years to plan Oliver and Petracca.


Was contracted until the end of 2022 so it is a 2 year extension. 

The 2 years suggests salary cap management is part of the rationale for extending. 

Hope he can find his AA form again or at least make it into the top 5 of the B n F.

club would be pleased* to some extent that they haven't had to pay out on some of the bonuses he would have had in initial deal around BnF/AA but at the same time probably would have liked him to have hit them coz that means it was a good signing.

That'd be certainly part of it, the guys only 24 (turning 25 shortly) but is known as a real mature leader so I'm sure he'll be doing what he can to keep our best players alongside him.

Having a good game last Friday probably game him a little bit extra leverage.

A little extra LEVERage, huh?  Very droll, Mr ET!

The website says "another three seasons" though?

Anyway, I look forward to another 3-4 years of Lever being criticised, sometimes fairly, often not.

I'm pretty sure he signed a 5 year deal to joint the club ie till end of 2022.

'Another three seasons' would included the remaining year of his current contract being 2022.

Edited by Lucifer's Hero

was going to raise a thread about leveraging Lever but this is as good as any.

We have to get a tactic going that takes advantage of the intercept. By himself his disposal is suspect but the time when he takes the ball is when the other team is committed to attack and are at their most vulnerable.

Perhaps there needs to be a plan allowing him to lay off the ball quickly to a designated player or spot

He will be like Trac if he can play like last Friday, free from criticism and an A grader leading this Club. Has enormous leadership potential.

Really don't know why Jake,  Maysie Trac Gus Langers and Clarry aren't in the leadership group to keep them all together . They deserve it. 
 

Well done Jake onwards and upwards. 


Good signing.

His disposal is far from elite but he’s one of the best players in the league in knowing where to position himself to take the intercept mark.

He’ll be important this year in the dying minutes of close games.

I assume a pay cut was part of this deal? Surely can’t be on $700-$800k a season still?

Part of the other side benifit of this is that if we can rely on Lever and May to take more intercept marks and rebound out of the backline, it should also free up big Maxy to get involved and take marks further up the ground in our attacking half.


If we get a full season out of Jake, playing to his capabilities, we will push for Top 4. When Jake Fires the Defence is working. 
he is a barometer 

He has to play a good season

maybe not a cut but definitely front loaded i'd imagine given the OOC players in the future they'd be absorbing more now while clarry/trac/salo and the younger boys are on smaller deals

 

Great to have Lever signed after a good season in 2020 where he played every game, so looks like his knee is holding up well.

It's a confidence booster knowing he'll be there until the end of 2024. He is still young and already a leader and well respected at the club.

 Best of luck Jake!

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
