Player Watch #16 Jake Aarts

[Dr Tigris]

Right now we need hunger. He brings that and form. GO Jakey

 

[Senor M]

Best possible debut, running out against a rabble totally devoid of any merit or substance as a footy club.

On SM-J250F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Didn't they reschedule the game against West Coast?

 

[Grrr]

Nice week to debut, if we don't come out breathing fire this week we may as well pack it in for the season. Beware the wounded tiger.
Aarts goes in hard. The slow brand of footy will suit him.

 

[TJTIGER]

Congratulations Jake, all the very best. Go Tiges!!

 

[smasha]

Best of luck Aartsy,hi to your old man whom I met at a Richmond pub.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Reckon his selection is warranted considering a couple of very consistent VFL seasons and good scratch match form.
Has some great attributes but lack of leg speed might find him out. Still can’t underestimate footy smarts and competitive spirit

 

[Bojangles17]

Go Jake , grab your opportunity by the horns kid, deserved your chance, good luck

 

[Rayzorwire]

Great to see his hard work rewarded, look forward to seeing what he can add.

 

[richoplzbreed]

hopefully he has a red hot dip. Apart from Bolton in patches our small forwards have been abysmal. Stick it up em!

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

Lifelong Tigers fan to play his first AFL game. Sucks there’s no crowds but as he says he’s used to that lol. Hope he tears it up

 

[Bojangles17]

Thought he did well , plays with real grunt and nevEr say die , 15p first game is a great start , keep going jakey , there’s a spot if you want it bad enough

 

[db26]

Yep was involved all game will get better.

 

[TJTIGER]

To my eye Jake didn't look out of place and contributed solidly, which is very promising that we may have uncovered another Kane Lambert possibly?....

 

[Bojangles17]

Handles the ball cleanly and , good skills ,

 

[Marcel Proust]

Like cotchin said, aarts contested stuff seems good for a small

 

[Punt Road Feral]

When effort and grunt has been lacking lately, Aarts has been the perfect inclusion as you know it’s a non negotiable with how he plays.

Glad he got a gig today and did well enough.

 

[tiger_tough]

Did well

 

[HTT]

Couldn’t have asked for much more than that

 

[Grechy]

Has a fair crack. Can't fault him in that regard.

[tony__montana]

He was great. Brought energy, hardness at the ball and has a decent sidestep! Couldn’t ask for more well done Aartsy!

 

[Lsta062]

I was a fan of him in our VFL because of his sturdy body. And he’s also clever around goal as we saw with his backwards heel. Yes, it hit the post, but he knows an opportunity when he sees one. He can add to our deficiencies in the contested stuff. Great debut!

 

[Karp3_dm]

great debut! Love his hard edge and very smart with ball in hand!
seems to make good decisions too!

 

[Mr Magic]

Has a fair crack. Can't fault him in that regard.

Plays with passion and hunger

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Solid debut. Really impressed by how he maintained throughout the whole game and didn't really have a good, specific patch (and that's all).
