Jake Lever deleting social media

[demondavey]

Where have I not owned my comments?

When you directed me to the Melbourne and I told you I was firmly stuck on you and getting you to accept your comments were disgusting.

You can’t even see it can you?

 

[demondavey]

Just curious, how old are you?

Why does that matter?

 

[Roovolution]

550 for jenkins wowee that is steeper than i thought

550k for a ruckman/forward not exactly outrageous. Tippett was paid 900? 1 million? Something silly like that.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Do you couldn’t give a **** that these comments may impact his mental health?

What exactly has been said that's been so horrible that it will affect his mental health?

 

[demondavey]

Lol what? I don't care that Jake is copping shit for his terrible form and that makes me some kind of monster?

He is getting abused on his own personal social media feed. It’s not acceptable. The fact you don’t care highlights your inability to seperate football and important social issues.

The constant vitriol about him being shit, a dud, overpaid, weak etc

You can’t even make a cohesive argument. Directing you to your board is pointing out the hypocrisy in your posting because you’re complaining that Crows fans have supposedly been ripping into Lever all the while ignoring the comments on your board saying calling him a spud and telling him to F*** O** back to Adelaide etc.

I’ve owned my comments that he needs to harden up me I’ll stand by those comments again.

Again go read your own board before coming here and carrying on. You’re a classic hypocrite.

Very different to being abused on social media in your own personal space

Well so far this year he's proven to be all those things. So what? If he's as good as he thinks he is he'll respond and shut people up. Until then, he is playing shit football for someone that earns so much - deal with it

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I'm kind of surprised clubs even allow their players to have a social media presence. They don't gain much from the publicity and they sure as hell don't gain anything from the scrutiny and abuse. Lever is doing the right thing here by removing himself from the toxicity of social media. Proves at the very least that he's smart enough not to let himself be dragged down by these people.

Ah ok, so Melbourne posters can abuse him all they want on bigfooty but if someone (can you provide evidence of he comments and what team these people support?) abuses him on social media it’s uncool. Righto.

 

[Roovolution]

Why does that matter?

Your posting suggests you need adult supervision.

So being abused on Bigfooty is fine but on twitter it's not? Good lord

Players can’t read a public footy forum apparently ....must be in their contracts not to read bigfooty. Clause #69

 

[Blackas87]

Crows fans aren’t obsessed at all.

Then enjoy what you got and move on. I bet you can't

Who would of thought? Just couldn't move on, not obsessed at all.

tippett is a bloody genius

 

[parmy2balmey]

How many current players in the afl average more than 2 goals per game & relief ruck?

don’t know, how many?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

don’t know, how many?

None at Richmond for starters...

Not sure there are any in the AFL.

 

[BPikkers]

Stake is up to you. I’m a professional gambler mate so let’s do it.

Ok. So let’s be clear on the bet. The player who signs (or is offered?) the most lucrative contract being total of $ x years of contract. That is, $900k pa x 5 years = $4.5m. The $4.5m is the value of the contract. The higher the value is the winner. You say Sloane from Adelaide and I say Tom Lynch from the Gold Coast. Do you agree?

 

[Malifice]

Nope I'm done with this Adelaide versus Melbourne sh*t fight.

Locked.

 

[Chief]

Maybe we can just kick it to scandals and rumours.

 

[Malifice]

Done.

I feel bad for the bloke that he feels he has to delete his Twitter account but it will probably benefit him in the long run. Less of a distraction for him and will hopefully motivate him if he is aware of all the criticism he is getting (right or wrong)

Genuine question
Our players usually tweet via the club Twitter account, where it's managed by a social media coordinator. You can get their individual account and could bombard them I guess. My assumption is they'd ignore it if you did. Do all clubs not do this?
