Worked with Jacobs.Hopefully we can work the Port out of him.
What happened to Pittard at Port? AA squad in 2016....to not getting a game at the end. Did his form just drop off a cliff?Agreed. But it's exactly the same criticism and what not that hes had at port all these years
Can anyone explain to me the Port supporter/Pittard clanger king thing?
Gotta admit I haven't studied him too closely in the past, but I'm struggling to find any solid basis to support it.
I'm riding in the back!Will finish top 10 in our BnF. Will give us so much drive out of the defensive half.

i hthink he got injured and they also changed their game style to controlling the ball by chipping it around.What happened to Pittard at Port? AA squad in 2016....to not getting a game at the end. Did his form just drop off a cliff?

Cant be any worse than Lmac.I think it stems from his final game for them last year where he turned it over time and time again, leaving them with that as their final memory of him. Nevermind the fact the whole team was shyte on the night and he was trying to take the game on. It was pretty poor though. However, he played far better games besides that one and was one of several in their cross hairs following a disappointing exit after a crappy last half of the season. My Port supporting brother in-law calls him Shittard but he tends to blame the Victorian players on their list for any of their stuff ups regardless so I take that with a grain of salt.

Fair enough. Many thanks for the nice preciś, much appreciated.Right from his draft day, he was given the green light to run carry and take the game on. Was turn over after turn over. As he matured he got less and less right into the 2016 season. He then went back to his old ways and no longer being a teenager wasnt cut the same slack anymore.
His 1 or 2 great things dont make up for his stuff ups. No one was sad to see him go.
Especially in the modern game when a turnover normally ends up in a goal.
Nothing bad towards the bloke. Seemed a good guy and good team man. But at 28 couldn't see him tidying up his game. Hence was delisted / given away
AgreedSolid. Ended up in a hard lock down role when Marley went off.
Has been pretty good so far. Decent one on one defender and yet to see the horrendous decision making we were warned about, despite a very makeshift backlineSolid. Ended up in a hard lock down role when Marley went off.
Seems to be making good decisions...mainly choosing simple options and picking his moment to run and gun rather than indiscriminate run and gun. Decision making re haircut very impressive also. I'm no expert in such matters having little hair of my own but I believe many of the younger folk would consider that style quite avant garde...If Marley can't get up Round 1 I think Jasper will do his role just as well.
He didn't seem to have much trouble when Marley went down in JLT 2, and his disposal and kicking was much more cleaner than the first game. You can't really get too mad for a guy who's doing what he should and you got him for steak knives.

So it wasn't about Port's salary cap?
I will be keeping a close eye on how household names like Dan Houston, Darcy Byrne-Jones and Xavier Duursma outperform Pittard this year.
Can’t stand Byrne-Jones. Weak campaigner. Always sooking to the umps trying to milk a free. Last year, after he got a free against Ziebell, he had a crack at Jack from behind, when Ziebell turned around to confront him, he yelled out to the ump.
I left out 23 game supremo Riley Bonner
Bonner: It'll be weird lining up against my former mentor

He played In the sanfl even when fit. So no not really. I guess it was just an added bonus we could have a slight salary dump with him going knowing north had plenty of room.
But no I definitely wouldnt say that was the reason as he was outside our best 22
