“The Sydney Swans drafted Jacob Konstanty with Pick 20 of the 2022 NAB AFL Draft. Regarded as one of the best defensive forwards in this year's draft class, Konstanty made a seamless transition from the midfield in 2022 that saw him flourish as a small forward. A similar player to that of star forward Tom Papley

, Konstanty finished the NAB League season ranked second for tackles (81), while impressing with his relentless work-rate and tackle pressure inside 50. Konstanty is yet to make his debut for the red and white after injury ruled him out for much of the 2023 season.”

 

[Ligma]

we got a small forward?

I don’t believe it

 

[bennymate]

Good steak knives, ill eat my hat if he makes it.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Really pleased by this pick up. Very young and raw who clearly needed a fresh start.

 

[The Nostradamus]

its a good deal

can delist drury now

 

[shintemaster]

I know nothing at all about Jacob except that I'm relatively confident he will win 10 premierships with us and Sydney none in that time.

 

[XU1-ROO]

Yep picked up a 28 & 2 x 32 year olds. Super

 

[BigRedRoo]

what were his injuries in 2023?

what makes you think he will fail?

He is like a fresh draft. Still very young. Coming home to Vic. Nobody in his way - the position is his to take.

 

[Wels Eicke]

We're due for one of these gambles to pay off. Seems a good kid so hope it works out for him and us. There's certainly a spot up for grabs, so hope he takes it with both hands

[kangaroo7]

Never heard of him. Is he any good?

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Eating your hat may make you ill, but hopefully it doesn’t come to that

 

[shinboner magic]

Is he rapid

 

[bennymate]

He is like a fresh draft. Still very young. Coming home to Vic. Nobody in his way - the position is his to take.

Our track record of developing small forwards? as i said I'm happy to be proven wrong though.

 

[Firebat]

Never heard of him. Is he any good?

Yeah he’s awesome, was throw into a trade last minute by Sydney instead of delisting him after 2 years
