#6 - Jake Lever

[cmndstab]

Obviously not a recruiter but was rated higher than them before the knee injury, im just worried about his height 193

That's absolutely perfect height for a KPP.

Any bigger than that and you're in the dreaded tweener territory, and shorter you're in the third tall category.

Anything from 193-195 is right on the money.


I assume he slid not because there are still question marks over his knee, but rather because nobody got a chance to see how he would come on this year.

 

[MRB37]

Quite happy with the pick. Seems to have justified they move down, at least for now. Will have to wait and see.

 

[Golumless]

How does he compare to Durdin and Goddard? Is the knee a worry?

Knee Reco, so it's not a debilitating injury.

Obviously slid due to it.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Absolutely stoked with this pick. Will be a brilliant addition to the backline. Talia and Lever is like Rutten and Bock back in their prime. That is jizz worthy!

 

[Bay62]

Looks like he will never win The Golden Fist with that marking style in defence

Gee he's a good mark

Slightly odd kicking style but effective in those highlights

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Yes.

When did he do his knee?

Has he played any games in the 2014 year?

 

[Golumless]

When did he do his knee?

Between 2013-2014 season i believe

Didn't play a game this season, however stood out massively last season in the TAC cup as an underager.

 

[matty p]

The best tall backman in the draft that was within reach.

Good get.

He's the best tall backman in the draft full stop.

 

[Bay62]

Absolutely stoked with this pick. Will be a brilliant addition to the backline. Talia and Lever is like Rutten and Bock back in their prime. That is jizz worthy!

Talia is the best trainer at the club and was super meticulous in his own injury rehab and is now a member of the leadership group

Just think what he's going to do for Jake in terms of development

 

[morgs640]

Key forwards are getting bigger, daniher, Boyd, Wright and Moore from this draft plus resting ruckman to worry about, thats where im worried his 193 could be exposed, obviously hes more of a chb but will still need to play on guys like these from time to time.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Watching his highlights he is nothing short of a Ben Hart clone! Brilliant get. We all know how good Hart was.

 

[Golumless]

A boxer as well... now i am really excited about Jake.

 

[Vantz]

Man we could have got Goddard or Laverde or even Durdin

Yes we could of, and we got better!

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Talia/Lever combo.

Gonna be a force for years to come.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

"Jake had his knee reconstructed in December. He's back in training now and he'll be ready to go when he gets to a club. Had he played this year he would possibly have been the No. 1 selection

I'm loving this sentence.

“He's a tall, aggressive, competitive key defender who's a really good leader. He might have even spent some time in the midfield this year had he been able to play. His leadership qualities have improved this year even though he hasn't been able to play and he hasn't missed a beat with his recovery.

And this one is a good one as well.

Hopefully he can live up to his promise.

 

[Elite Crow]

I'm not worried about his height, reckon we should play him as a third tall giving him freedom to intercept mark and run.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

He won't stay at CHB - he will become a tall midfielder over time.

 

[Geoffa32]

I'm loving this sentence.



And this one is a good one as well.

Hopefully he can live up to his promise.

He seems a genuine footballer who will give it a real crack.

Hartigan/Lever/Talia for the next ten years.........

[StonesThrow]

Pretty much exactly what we needed going forward. Looks elite in his position. Hopefully that was his first and last knee injury.

 

[Red mist]

I'm loving this sentence.



And this one is a good one as well.

Hopefully he can live up to his promise.

Could end up being a tall mid like Josh Kennedy

Nah I think he's more of a Harry Taylor type.
