Footage of Jay LEVER / Jordan STALEY
I finally found some footage of Jay LEVER playing for Vic Country in the U18 Championships. He is Number 24 and I must apologise to the lad he is a lot more athletic than I envisaged. His closing speed and defensive pressure are great for his height and if he can add some size - I will be proven wrong.
If you look at Clay SMITH's Youtube video you can see a bit more of Jay throughout that also.
Also sighted in the above is Jordan STALEY wearing No 39 Vic Country ! I must say Jordan looks the more likley ruckman.

Jay isn't as scrawny as I imagined and a good height. Shame he doesn't ruck as well as his height would suggest. He may be that Kosi, Kruezer, Josh Frazer type that is hard to work out an ideal role for.

Potential defender?
I loved that kick out of defence towards the end, also there was a handpass under pressure, both good vision.
Quite a worker, thanks for posting.

Yes, well let’s just hope your prediction in the other thread, particularly the last bit, doesn’t come true!

The story goes that (Lever) he was playing tall defender and was considered a potential top 10 pick. He was moved into an unfamiliar ruck role where confidence and unfamiliarity saw his stocks plummet. He claims his athletic ability is a strength so ruck didn't allow his talents to be shown at carnival/ combine level. He might be more Kruezer (hopefully minus the knee reco) than Mc Grath.

"He was the Falcons' best player with the ball in his hands," (former coach) Greaves said. "He makes fantastic decisions and has amazing agility for someone that size.
"When I first got told I was being put in the ruck I thought, 'This could be interesting'. "
