Player Watch #41: Jacob Konstanty

[Rooscals]

I like the boy !!!!!

 

[Not Snake Baker]

We should make more steak knives trades!

 

[rickety]

Rocketing to my new fave player - sort of bash and crash rocketing, he's a goer.

 

[koshari]

That one and the darling deals were great value which the well informed posters called at the time

He’s exactly what we’ve been missing

Tough and classy, you don’t get picked top 20 for no reason

Warragul boy, even of he played for drouin....

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Love the bash and crash, but when he is in space he is actually a beautiful user of the ball. Hit some bloody nice kicks today.

Mainstay!

 

[RightWingRoo]

Seeing why he was a top 20 pick, by a generally astute club.
Obviously things went badly wrong for him in Sydney, but we're the beneficiaries of that.

Can apply excellent pressure, can tackle with intent and kicked a nice goal.

 

[muttley45]

Nice goal assist from WilPhil

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Everyone loves Steak knives

I'm convinced this is the measure of a good small forward these days. Great stat.

well done, great post

 

[Ligma]

Also most of this is probably unrewarded running!!!

Effort and intent produces wins

Getting good vibes from this boy.

Put on GREAT pressure both weeks, the snap was class when we REALLY needed one to go through the big sticks.

Kind of reminds me of how we all felt about Kayne Turner after his first couple of games. Hopefully he can build better than Kayne did.

He’s a much bigger physical presence than Kayne ever was.

He was a pinball, but the guy was a jockey and just bounced off players.

Konstanty had decent output at junior level and has an entirely different ceiling when he gets some games under his belt.

He was really involved considering he had the lowest TOG of every player out there for both teams, excluding Stephens.

He played less minutes than Phillips and Woewoedin.

 

[Northwards]

Reminds me kind of a more athletically gifted version of Leigh Adams.
I’m really interested to see how he goes after 8-10 games straight. The work rate and hunger for the contest is there on display and what’s getting him games. We’ve had a taste of some of the tricks now, once he feels he belongs and settles into being a regular senior player we will really start to see some really impressive games from him. Great start to his career, talent is definitely there

 

[nelroo]

Hoping he can have the effect that Dylan Moore has at the Hawks.

 

[Danni_Benson]

Absolutely love his intensity!

 

[deano28]

He’s a beast , Loved his game today . His intent and want to hunt the ball & opposition is 10/10 . As was said above most of it is unrewarded running & while it can go unnoticed by most
commentary and media the coaches love that shit
As long as he continues to bring 100% effort his reward will be that he’s loved by coaches & team mates & will be one of the first picked every week

Fastest Viney has ever run

 

[tazaa]

Why is this campaigner so loveable?
He was genuinely up and about as well with the fans after the win.

He seems to be enjoying footy with North giving him a chance.

But the way he goes about it. He throws his body around and cracks in. He is always there buzzing causing havoc inside 50.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I really like the kid.

Steak knives. They always get the most use.

 

[muttley45]

Only his 2nd game at the level, upside is enormous, not bad steak knives

The production stuff is a little overstated at this point also.

He's averaged 60% TOG the first 2 games.

Zurhaar and Curtis are 80%+

He's obviously being used as a burst player at maximum effort by Clarko.

He's spending almost an entire quarter (25 mins) less on the ground than Curtis and Zurhaar so far.

Adjusted to their time on ground and he's mid teens in disposals etc.

Papley Mk2. His energy and attack is infectious
