Jay Lever

[saintDal]

Represented Vic Country at the NAB AFL U18 Championships, playing in all five games and averaging 10 hit-outs.

Got a quote on him here from Bigfooty

Another option for CHB, with one of our later picks, is Jay Lever, who apparently has incredible athleticism, at 200cm and "elite ball use with both sides of his body" and considers his preferred position to be CHB (after being played forward, back, wing and in the ruck, this year). Early in the year he was apparently going great guns and expected to go early in the draft, but was then played in the ruck in the championships and didn't do well, and lost confidence from it, so has apparently slipped way down the draft order. It appears he does well in the other positions, so if we got him for one of those roles and not ruck, he could be a bargain pick-up

Happy to get him. Plenty of potential upside:

He's a lightning fast, 200cm utility, and an elite kick on both feet, former coach Aaron Greaves said.

couple of us in the household werewaiting for it to be called out and bang we got the ruckman we wanted. High fives because this kid has good upsides. Would like us to rookie one more ruck IMO

[asiu]

desperately wants to prove himself and play AFL.

..that'll do me.

Has a ways to go.....

And you've followed his career enough to know this?

[Verdun66]

One thing I read says his best position may be CHB.

[BigMart]

Just a quick read of his stats.....would tell me that story

He wouldnt know a thing about him but this guy thinks he knows every player in the country.

[asiu]

it's just his opinion ffs.

You think, and comment like you do, but I don't think you have any idea. I'm sure you will come back with some crap like you do. Anyway thanks for your positive spin wank#r.

i know nothing about him. but it seems he doesn't like to play ruck, and isn't very good at ruck?

[fingers]

He is the only one we have so does that make him a unilever?

Hope he is the goods.

He is a CHB not a ruckman. Quick, very good skills and ball user, smart player, agile and good with the ball on the deck.

Great pick.

[BigMart]

Not what Ameet Baines just said.....Ruck/Fwd he mentioned

10 hit outs
12 touches

in the TAC Cup

[savatage]

Definitely more a CHB/CHF with the occasional pinch hit in the ruck.

[SainterK]

elite ball use with both sides of his body"

That will do me

[bigred]

Elite off both feet?

WTF we don't draft that s*** at St.Kilda.

This cant be happening.

[dirtydog24]

Lever projects best as a CHB. He has really struggled when playing ruck.

Whilst the club thinks he may develop into a fwd/ruck, I'm not sold at all. More than happy for him to play in defence though and use his foot skills.

[borderbarry]

He did the Draft Combine as a ruckman, not a CHB.
