Past #25 Ben Paton

[Dubai Quacker]

I assume Paton is pronounced as if it rhymes with 'baton', as opposed to say 'straighhten'?

Kinda.

Its pronounced Pâton (think: a Frenchman saying baton).

Ben Pâton. Trust me on this.

I know this surname extremely well and you are correct.

Here's hoping he can Vulcan nerve pinch his opponents out of contests this year.

Congrats to Ben!

Congrats to Ben!

Feel like these types of pick ups can make immediate impact, e.g. Paddy McCartin, JJ etc. All he has to do is play his role of locking down small/medium players and anything extra is perfect

 

[Cadsky]

Well done Ben. Looking forward to seeing you in red and white for many games to come.

Good boy, from the scrap heap to a debut opening round for the mighty bloods. He will have a plenty of work to do as well shutting down the hawks show pony's. Go get em lad play well.

I remember being a little surprised that the Saints had got rid of them - he was far from their worst in an area where they weren't overburdened with talent (especially with Battle out the door). Doesn't appear to have put a wrong since he's got here, so you wonder what happened at the Saints.

Anyway, very pleased for him.

Really looking forward to seeing him in action. Love that he is a comeback from injury story. Wishing him nothing but the best.

I was happy we "stole" him off of the Giants!

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Well done Ben, you deserve a paton the back.

See what I did there?

 

[caesar88]

Small defenders are funny, because they kinda become fan favourites and successful by barely being sighted on the footy field. It means they've done their job.

So go well tomorrow night Paton, hope I forget you're out there!

 

[Kiama Chris]

If the Hox littles have a quiet night we'll know that Ben and his mates have done their job effectively. All we can ask.

 

[The King!]

Is he that Small?

Good luck Ben

I read somewhere he was a Swans supporter. Maybe I am confusing him with someone else.

Pretty sure Bice was. Not sure about Paton

Always felt for Ben after Roughead broke his leg. I wish him well with you guys.

Hope you smash the Hawks.
