Player Watch #41: Jacob Konstanty

[The Nostradamus]

liking the parker and JK bromance

pick 44 for both will prove to be one of the best deals brady has made, tho considering the moves brady has made i guess not a high bar

 

[Ether]

Or one that hurts and the player cant get the ball away clean. Spicers tackles were like having a 4 year old hanging off em and RHJ isn’t much different

Don't know why I was watching it, but anyone remember when Jamie Lawson - Sydney (very) small fwd - brought down Monkhorst in a tackle when Monkey decided to run through him?

I've just been imagining Konstanty kicking a goal & then grabbing his jumper Will Phil style.......Gonna be a HUGE moment for the young lad & the club.

Signor Rawlings = Freak Recruiter. We CANNOT afford to lose him to Essendon.

Not sure I would want to be stuck in between those two.. Kokkin Konstanty’s Koop..

Congrats young man now give us an Adrian McAdam-esque debut..

 

[Disco Dew]

I’m rooting for this guy and really hope he goes well and cements a spot in the team.
However some of you folks are bloody odd. Yeah cool he adds forward pressure which is sorely needed but we’ve had Kayne “pressure acts” Turner and Jack “luffys algorithm” Mahoney in the past who we all got stuck into because of their complete lack of ability offensively.
Pressure is great but we need smalls who can get their hands on the ball and either kick snags or facilitate the kicking of snags.
Everyone hanging shit on RHJ fail to see or acknowledge that he actually has the ability to do those things.
His pressure is shit and tackles are soft but there is legitimately a world where both of these guys can improve on their weaknesses and be great assets to the side and do so together.

Anyway excited for JK to get this opportunity and the video with Parker is great.

 

[Ligma]

If he kicks a goal in the first qtr WE ARE ON

I've just been imagining Konstanty kicking a goal & then grabbing his jumper Will Phil style.......Gonna be a HUGE moment for the young lad & the club.

Had similar images with McDonald tbh.
Except he takes his jumper off, Will Phill style…. gives it to Jackson Archer. Retires.
Gonna be a HUGE moment for the young lad & the club.

Nathan O’Keefe (2010), Marcus White (2010)?
I literally don't remember these blokes at all

Mates with whitey, he lives on the GC now, plays for Palm Beach. He was a midfielder, had longish blonde hair and had a few injuries - looked promising if he had a bit of luck on his side. Nathan O’Keefe was a promising KPF but I think he was stealing team mates wallets or something.

I remember the stealing bit, just don't remember who it was that has done it

Pretty sure White and O’Keefe’s first game was the infamous Barry Hall/ Scotty Thompson choker hold game.
At one stage the score was Us 0.10 them 11.1

 

[shinboner magic]

Who we thinking to present the jumper to him?

Parks again or bring in a former player?

Mark powell would be great

 

[koshari]

Ironically jamie would have a few kilos on monkey these days...

Really?!
Haha. Jeez. I had t heard that one.

[Only Forwards]

Gets another run has been all effort.

Like what he brings.

 

[Disco Dew]

Didn’t like his selection, hoped he’d go well.
Has been great!!!

 

[The Nostradamus]

Brings the elite tackle pressure we lack

Think it then becomes contagious for the rest of them to join in

 

[Themanbun]

Love his tackle pressure.

Can't help but think Paul Hansen-Konstanty Jr would be an excellent small forward.

 

[Roostorm]

By goodness we finally have got the missing link…the kid can play….yippee

 

[bennymate]

Stays in!

 

[Makeshift Park]

I'd like to see 7 bone-crunching tackles please son.

One for each consecutive WB win against us.

6 bone crunching tackles was okay but now he’s gonna have to do 8 next time

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

10 disposals, 6 tackles and a goal assist from 67% tog.

 

[jay317]

Got something this kid
