BIG ‘Spider’ Everett has carried the ruck load at Pakenham for the last two seasons and has become a big part of the Lions dominant midfield. His journey to the Toomuc Reserve started at Gembrook-Cockatoo juniors from where he progressed to the Eastern Rangers TAC Cup side. He then played senior football with Box Hill Hawks and Noble Park before joining the Lions at the start of last season.
