Past #17: Jasper Pittard - delisted after 33 NM games/5 NM goals - thanks Jasper

[roos_fanatic08]

Finlayson or Nic Newman would have been much better options

 

[kingcarey1]

He was fine today. Not great, but solid enough; particularly considering he was often playing on forwards 10kgs/10cms heavier/taller.

 

[Ischenko]

Tried. Did some OK things when the game was still in the balance. Obviously under instructions to handball at every opportunity. Already over-coached?

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Sam Wright with worse disposal and marking ability but with a better hair cut

JUST WHAT WE NEEDED!!

 

[Twinkletoes]

It’s not his fault he’s finding himself having to defend genuine KPF’s. I’d love to see him assigned a HFFer but we lack decent talls.

 

[drcollossimo]

Thanks for that. I was actually referring to Rockliff , Watts and Motlop. Not as disastrous as everyone makes out in my opinion.

What a difference a week in footy make eh?

 

[susurrar]

im not excited to have him but he wasnt bad tonight. he was the 2nd best of our trade-ins after polec and he was one of our better defenders sadly.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He was alright under a deluge of incompetence that saw the ball zinging back in all day. Definitely keeps his spot.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Selective with when he contests for the ball.

 

[showusyacunningt]

Thought he didn't stop trying. Gonna give him some time playing in a new side and an undermanned backline without it's key organiser.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Can we stop potting this bloke and just accept he's part of the team and here to stay? This bloke is literally the replacement for Ryan Clarke who's spudding it up at Sydney while we got an upgrade for NOTHING.

He did fine on Sunday, let future games decide where he goes from here, but for now he's done a fine job, least he *in plays with some heart.

Couldn't agree more BNR. Pre-judgement overload I reckon.

 

[scottywiper]

Saying he was fine is not true. I'm not going to write him off on one game and the defence was under siege, but he was defensively poor and conceded front position in almost every contest.

 

[the flying ham]

Good pick up. Was neat user

likw JLT when he was picking up membrey, so we recruit a mid height backmen to pick up 2nd talls, yeah right!

 

[Only Forwards]

Anyone see Nick Newman play Thursday night?

This bloke should be in the VFL next week.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Selective with when he contests for the ball.

Really?

Anyone critical of him would want to have hit a dozen other player threads before arriving here.

Very serviceable under ridiculous pressure. Went at 84% DE and there's nothing wrong with his work rate either.

 

[Uber Roo]

I just hope going forward we get to see some run and carry ( which he was originally bought over for) rather than being used completely as a stopper

Newman played a completely different role to Pittard. He was have been seriously exposed today in Pittards role and the knives would have been turned to him.

That was supposed to go in the Polec thread. Jasper throws himself at everything.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Pittard trails his opponent too often

Not great with ball in hand either

[MagicalRoos]

One thing that separates him from JMac, Atley and most others who have played that mid-defensive role is he actually knows how to spoil.
In a lot of cases, has the speed to stay close enough to his man to affect a spoil even if he does give up front position.

 

[Groin guru]

Will be the recruit of the year at this rate.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Thought he was poor with ball in hand and gave up too much separation on leads

Indicative of our whole backline
