Player Watch #41: Jacob Konstanty

[Midas]

Good tackler ...

 

[BlueanWhiteKanga]

Thought people were being a bit harsh on him after how good he was early in the year.

But holy shit, he gave Heather Kane a lesson in sucking today.

Not the first Heather I think of.... if you know, you know.

His defensive pressure is elite. His skills are woeful. I'm not sure that works.

 

[nelroo]

Best case scenario is that he is pushed out by someone with some composure. Then he can be in the twos as backup.

We cannot have someone like that butchering chance after chance. He is still young but I don’t know if that side of the game will suddenly click for him..

 

[Jonnoo]

That’s the frustrating thing, he’s so close to being very good. So close. But man those misses hurt after all the work to get it down there and all his work to keep it down there

 

[TruRoo]

He’s not “so close to being very good”

If he doubled his goal tally for the year it would still be disappointing.

The pressure he puts on counts for shit when he’s actively costing us goals

 

[Jonnoo]

If he snags the goals he should have this season we’d be raving about him

So close??? He’s miles off being very good. He has zero class/polish. That’s not changing.

 

[apollo_creed]

No we wouldn’t. Only hopelessly deluded fans convinced that ‘next year it’s all going to click’ would think that. His skills are woeful, so when he’s only getting it 10 x a game to be serviceable he needs good to elite skills. He doesn’t have that.

 

[Jonnoo]

Definitely not dying on this hill, I’ve been as critical of him as anyone

 

[Devil Fish]

If he snags the goals he should have this season we’d be raving about him

Yeah but he didn’t.

 

[Jonnoo]

Yeah but he didn’t.

Hence why I said it’s frustrating…

Infuriatingly so

 

[Themanbun]

Would love to see TAO back on here Really enjoyed some of his posts Didn't aways agree with him but was a great poster.

I think he'll be pretty short with people if he's ever back on here

 

[Themanbun]

Negative points allocation to goal sense on this bloke

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Great energy. Many missed opportunities. His easy misses are like a dagger in the heart for a young team holding on to games by the fingertips.

To be fair we also had guns Sheezel and Larkey missing sitters all year.

If my grandma has balls...

 

[Zondor]

Lacks Class. The fact that he had a trigger on his contract illustrates the buffoonery that is rampant at Hardon Street. :stern look

 

[Caracas]

I’m a little guy myself. However, I believe a team only requires one small/short guy. We had 3 out there today - Daniel, Banch and Konstanty. It showed…

Huh? What is this trigger you speak of? I thought it was just a 2 year deal?

 

[DuckYeah]

Is he a bit like Kayne Turner then?

LOL picked it from week one. Nice work

 

[Danni_Benson]

I absolutely love his intent and pressure. Something we’ve severely lacked and he definitely brings it. The goals will come.

 

[Zondor]

Huh? What is this trigger you speak of? I thought it was just a 2 year deal?

I’m led to believe it was a 1 year deal with a trigger. :stern look

 

[Shinboner '07]

Can tackle and apply pressure, but **** he can’t kick a goal to save his life. We should try him as a small lock down defender.

Swans did it with Wicks this year, as he was equally frustrating in the small forward role and was inconsistent. I would worry about his disposal coming out of the 50 and being a ball butcher
