Jake Patmore Biography

Port Adelaide delists Jake Patmore, who failed to make his debut for the club.

"Jake is a real victim of circumstance; with an ACL injury in 2019 being compounded by a lack of regular competitive football in 2020 due to COVID, and what will be a reduction in list sizes for 2021," Port Adelaide general manager of football Chris Davies said.

"He is an outstanding young man who has demonstrated great professionalism, but we have had to make this difficult call based on our list numbers for 2021."

Jake Patmore will undergo a knee reconstruction after tearing his ACL in Port Adelaide's SANFL practice match against South Adelaide at Noarlunga.

"This is a terrible blow for Jake, who had been developing well after his second pre-season," Port Adelaide football manager Chris Davies said.

"But we know he is a resilient young man and everyone at the club will support him through his rehabilitation."

Draft hopeful Jake Patmore has shed 10kgs to improve his form as a midfielder with the hope of being drafted by an AFL club in 2017.

"At the start of the year I had to lose quite a few kilos. I was a bit chubby and had to get my skinfolds down," Patmore said.

"I’ve lost nine or 10 kilos, and I’m feeling a whole lot lighter on my feet and I’ve lost about 30 points in skinfolds.

"It wasn’t so much eating bad foods, it was just eating too much.

"I had to take that back and now I’ve got a routine with what I eat."
