Player Watch #18 Jacob Konstanty

Gippsland Power (NAB League), Warragul Blues JFC

SNAPSHOT: “Arguably the best defensive forward in the crop, Konstanty manically applies pressure inside 50, creating opportunities for himself and teammates when the opposition makes mistakes.”



Having kicked four goals for Vic Country in an Under 17s match in 2021, it’s not surprising that Jacob Konstanty was a prospect with eyes on him from the very start of the year. He took a little bit of time to get going in 2022, but a switch from the midfield back to his usual small forward role saw him flourish.

Gippsland Power forward Jacob Konstanty is a menacing tackler inside 50, with the speed and smarts to match as a goal kicker.

Good luck to him!

 

[Dan87]

This guy and Paps is going to be unreal viewing

Papley has a new brother

Welcome to the best club in Australia

 

[Punts]

Good luck

 

[Millky95]

Got no clue who this kid is or how he'll go; it means so much to me that he's excited to come to the swans. His energy was fantastic.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Love that he’s moulded his game on Paps

 

[Dan87]

Comp isn't ready for the crazy tag team we're about to unleash

 

[Millky95]

Just saw his interview. If he is half as good a player as the energy he brings, we found a gem

 

[Maximumlnsanity]

Pressue forward who brings a *load of energy and can kick a goal. Couldn't have been a more Sydney pick

 

[Kapers]

Based on his highlights, looks like a cracker of a mark

 

[Kapers]

Everything I've heard of him is that he is hungry and competitive, with good goal sense.

Players that are willing to run and chase are made for the swans imo

 

[RUNVS]

So we got a friend for Papley.

I wish draftees families and friends filming their reactions was a tradition that dates back further than 2 or 3 years.

Two players I'd kill to see the reactions of were McInerney (imagine the strut!) and Parker (just picturing him thumping an esky on the floor in celebration)

 

[Ed_Gein]

Look forward to seeing him play for us! Sounds a ripper.

Hopefully we have a KPD and inside mid in mind for our next picks/

 

[Superstar swan]

Love this pick. Welcome to the club.

If a player is described as having a high work rate and tenacious attack, you just know he will succeed at the swans. Traits that horse loves and I won't be shocked for him to come in and impact next year

 

[Trojan90]

Seen a bit of this guy at local level. Good mark, great pressure, loves to tackle and has some fire and cheek about him. A real ‘swans type’ too.

 

[ShireSwan]

Erm....how come there are two different reactions to him getting drafted.
Did they have to do a second one & pretend they didn't know when the first one had no sound?

 

[Kiama Chris]

Welcome Jacob and enjoy the ride!

 

[Deccas]

Really pleased with this pick. Absolutely one of the few areas of the park we are pretty thin on the ground.

 

[Bloods86]

Sounds like he is thrilled to come to us. Hopefully many more highlight reels to come.

Like others, can see him and Paps mesmerising and tormenting defences.
