Patty is not best 22, and will be depth this season.
Opinion Patrick Karnezis - the forgotten forward

Seems to be a fair bit of pre-jacking over someone who has not played a single game for us, including VFL and preseason
I'd like to see a few games in the VFL before making any calls on senior action. Potential is there, but let's see how we go developing him and putting it altogether.
So you prefer to post-jack?
PK will kick (at least) 10 on saturday, it will be raining goals down at Vic Park. He is going to channel the ghosts of Collingwood past.

He is playing in the VFL this week, but will probably need at least 2 runs before getting into senior contention.
Just good to see him finally get out on the field though in a Pies jumper.

Im expecting atleast 5 weeks in the reserves before he comes into senior consideration. Did he even have a preseason, i dont think he did from my knowledge.
Hopefully he debuts for us around round 10-12.

I think he had a little bit at the start
I heard Bucks somewhere saying that they knew PK had OP when we recruited him, which would suggest that he has not had a preseason as such.

He'll likely need that just to regain match conditioning, let alone something that resembles form worthy of consideration for the senior side.
To be honest, we should really just consider this a development year for Karnezis. Anything he shows by way of putting his hand up for selection is a bonus.

I could see Karnezis fitting into someone like Goldsack's position when playing forward. But that may be a redundant argument when we have Reid back and are playing three talls. What I do like is the frequency Karnezis hits the scoreboard as a forward at AFL level. I think you are right to say he is depth, but the kind of depth fringe 22 player that isn't without hope of cementing a place in the 22. If he can get fit.

Awesome job by PK-chewy today so let's continue watching the rise of he's Collingwood journey
Promising start that's for sure, I think he would need at least another 3 good matches before being considered

Can see him taking Goldsack's spot in 2-3 weeks.

Completely different player - Goldy was good today I thought. Defensive work top notch. Really important player for us.

I don't think they are competing for the same spot.
Karnezis is more the elliot 3rd marking type, with White and Cloke the two talls and Goldsack providing pressure then a midfielder rotating through the other forward pocket spot

Can u play Cloke, White, Reid and Karnezis in the same fwd line (White being 2nd ruck)??
I was close.
Good question, I think in this case Goldsack goes out. They are roughly the same height, though Goldy might have a couple of cms on him. I haven't seen enough of PK to tell the difference in mobility. Goldsack is more versatile but lacks the ability to impact the scoreboard sometimes. Perhaps this is why Bucks floated the idea of letting PK run up into the midfield or up onto the wing for a bit, because it seems that at the moment every Collingwood player is desperately trying to "add another string to their bow"...

If you haven't seek PK play much then how can you say he should replace Goldsack?
Sorry, I never said he should replace Goldsack. The question was, can PK play in our forward line with Reid, Cloke and White. I meant I can only see this happening at the expense of Goldsack.
FWIW I have big wraps on Goldsacks game yesterday.
