Player Watch #41: Jacob Konstanty

[Frank Thring]

Didn’t like his selection, hoped he’d go well.
Has been great!!!

Great? Come on.

 

[Possession]

Refuses to give up on a chase and it's very noticeable.

Stands out to us supporters. Other players wouldn't have gotten that HTB free in our F50.

 

[Kanga Glory]

I thought Jacob was ok, tackled without giving away free kicks and looked to get involved

 

[ferball]

Great? Come on.

He forces contests and turns the ball over in our favour repeatedly, even if he doesn't register a stat for it.

He plays like he's in one of Pagan's teams.

No I acknowledge he had a good debut but not a great one

 

[Disco Dew]

Perhaps I should have clarified that it was great based on what we’d seen from him so far. But fair enough

Yes, it was a stark improvement.

Watched back the replay, downright made a few dogs players shit themselves. Zurhaar, RHJ and PC got a little bit of appetite too.

His effort is infectious. They'll all follow.

 

[Themanbun]

He plays exactly like a power athlete should. Short, explosive AF efforts where he looks quicker than anyone else on field. It's all intent.

 

[rickety]

Makes goals. Will score goals. Best #41 in donkeys

He's deceptively quick!

I thought he was just another pressure forward but when he gets going the gap closes rapidly.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Love it how he looks so grateful, despite all our teams baggage, to have been given a fresh start.

All a matter of perspective I guess.

 

[amaz199]

If Melbourne felt pressured last year exiting their defensive 50 then they are in for another one of those days. Only worse.

Steven May is a huge out and if there are loose balls around the area, they'll need to be clean on a dangerous deck like Marvel.

 

[shinboner magic]

Was good defensively and got more of the ball than he has all preseason.

PS can he teach the rest of the team in how to stick a tackle.

My son and I attended the kangas training while on the Gold Coast last year . Jacob went out of his way to come over introduce himself and have a chat . Absolute ripper of a bloke

He's still getting a chance to play at the highest level regardless of our current struggles.

I was speaking to my cousin the wee wizard watto Watson.

And he said that after Konstanty beat up the Swan Cpt, no one liked him.

His days were numbered, and after so many misses we through happenstance may have landed a good one.

I'm liking him now.

Did he snot young Blakey as well? Instant fave then.

It was a good debut, but a slight worry was his lack of appetite to kick goals. That time when he gave it to Scott did result in a goal, but would also have been nice to see him take it upon himself and slot it through.

Maybe it's just lack of confidence or maybe he isn't a good set shot. Too early to tell

I thought he made the right decision to pass it off to Scott who was closer and straight in front.

Yeah, I did note the hesitance to seize the moment but in the end it was probably the best decision to make. For all his dodgy field kicking, Bailey is a gun in front of the sticks.

Hopefully the debut monkey is off K's back and he can have a go next time. Don't think it'll be the last time he gets a HTB free in our 50.

On a tangent made similar observations of Jaidyn. Pity it didn't work out, nice kid.
