List Mgmt. Welcome Jake Waterman (Pick 77, 2016 National Draft)

[DanWCE]

Jake ranked 25th in the comp so far this season according to Champion Data

 

[THE A5]

Last few Weeks the way he’s gone about it have been reminds me of peak Darling in a way. Absolute manhandled the young key back against the Tigers and also leverde who is his size. The other games he used his forward craft and was more of a lead up forward.

 

[Trouto]

He is playing with so much confidence. He is averaging 7.4 marks this year, up from a career of 5.6 massive boost.

In 8 games he’s taken 7 more contested marks than his previous season best (20 games).

Never really saw him as a contested marking type but this season he as beaten his man but also taken a fair few big clunks

If The West aren't completely trolling the state with putting Reid on the back page almost daily, surely this guy starts getting a run of local media attention. Elsewhere in media land, almost everyone is talking about where this form has come from and serving up plaudits by the truckload. One has him a FF AA lock "and it's not even close".

Has anyone seen him even mentioned in The West this season?

I reckon we keep the attention off him. Let him fly under the radar until he has the Coleman sewn up.

 

[THE A5]

In 84 games prior to this season Jake has taken 42 contested marks. Taken 23 contested grabs in 9 games this season.

Darlings best is 54 (12th on the all time list)
Jk’s best is is 51
Allens best is 37.

Prior to this season I would have said that Snake ain’t that great of a contested mark and the worst of that group of players. Now he’s a good chance at eclipsing all of their pb’s

 

[UseR2006]

Congrats on 100 Snake.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

He is just so classy now, one touch player that runs his heart out for the side, just love that he leaves everything
out on ground.

THE LOOSH





From lying in a hospital bed with his career hanging by a thread, to the All-Australian side 12 months later.

Well ****ing done Jake. You deserve this. I couldn't be happier right now.​

 

[TY24]

The stats that earned Jake his first blazer:

 

[DanWCE]

Holy shit. Well done Loosh!! What a 180!

 

[plays tall 1]

Not bad for pick 77.

Should he be a co-captain? He’s certainly set a great example to the list.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Developing nicely. Playing to his strengths at the moment, he's not not as damaging close to goals as he has been at lower levels, that will clearly change as he physically matures. He's built his tank and covering the ground a lot better than he did at U18's level. He'll be able to clutch a few of those marks he's almost got when he's able to hold his opponent off a touch more and as such he'll demand the football more and kick more goals.

Having 14 disposals in the first half of his third game is a monumental effort for a marking forward.

It's taken a while but it did happen. He holds defenders off and protects the ball drop.

 

[Westend]

Well done Jake awesome achievement first AA

[sharps24]

Make the man captain and pay him a million a season. Epic stuff Jake.

 

[D-N-R]

Someone to build a team around. Gives his all on the field, great example to others. Exemplifies that hard work gets rewards.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Congrats to the Waterman!! Can't believe anyone would want to trade him. Now an AA, great clubman and a heart and soul player, hope his hard work and elite training standards rub off on some of the younger players.

 

[squashface]

Probably gonna be a John Worsfold Medalist this year too.

What a season from the great man.
