Player Watch #41: Jacob Konstanty - re-signed until the end of 2028

[Liam Boy]

Seven touches, seven tackles and 2.1 in the VFL against Box Hill.

Konstanty and Payne = Constant Pain?

Konstanty and Payne = Constant Pain?

Forward line is coming together nicely

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I wouldn’t mind them giving Geordie Payne a go. Wasn’t he meant to have similar qualities

Different player. Payne’s disposal and finishing is not as good as JK.

In saying that, Payne tackles to hurt and has laid 12 tackles in two weeks at vfl level, despite not having much of a tank.

Very intelligent footballer and a bit of a campaigner too.

Lots of upside.

Yeah I reckon Geordie is close to a debut if he keeps that form up. Wouldn't be a bad sub option.
Needs to get better at finishing and hitting targets, but there's a bit there to work with.
Probably just drifts out of games in the 2nd half because of fitness I would guess.

fan favourite this guy, if he kicks a goal tonight i reckon he will grab the jumper

If he can be coached to be this aggressive every game then he'll have his name tag welded onto the whiteboard.

Getting number 41 on my jumper

 

[Only Forwards]

Love this kid

 

[Themanbun]

Man is driven by pure rage

 

[tazaa]

I want him to kill someone

 

[rickety]

Absolute gold this kid

 

[Chadwiko]

Kuntstanty.

Has some mongrel in him.

 

[jay317]

Him and Parker looked like the only players putting in defensively today. Such a shame.

 

[Dingster]

Only 68% time on ground. Lowest of players not subbed. WTF

Watched him tonight and he was out on his feet at the start of the fourth. He's a 100% effort player so needs big test to maintain intensity.

 

[Psychic Roo]

Been better each week.

 

[ansonholt]

16 disposals, 0.2 and surprisingly only 1 tackle.

None of that matters that much. If we could replicate even two fifths of the aggro he displayed tonight in the rest of the team, the result might have even been different tonight.

For me he has to be in the first half dozen picked each week, the way he's going about it.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Honestly, I think I'd prefer we just play these guys who at least have pride in the jumper, rather than all the overrated pea hearts we wasted draft picks on. Couldn't do much worse.

 

[shintemaster]

Been a surprise packet. Really happy with how he is going. That defensive intensity and will to hunt the ball & hurt the player gives him value even when he's not going great. Some of his, let's be blunt, softer team mates have silk but when it's not going their way they offer nothing. This guy offers value even when he's not kicking goals.

The emotion possibly got the better of him, i like that he had the motivation against his old mob but just needs to channel is a little better. Scoreboard pressuse trumps scragging. But anyway he is tracking pretty well, one of the few blokes to not lower his colors last 2 weeks.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Has a crack, something 20 other players could learn from

Had a pretty decent scuffle with that blakey w@ncher early on, bonus points for that. As mentioned, his TOG and scoring should improve with his match fitness. Got ripped by the umps with that mark in the last not paid/arm chop free, the deliberate when he was shoved to name but 2. Missed 2 gettables as well, imo. Goes well.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Puts in.

The bar is so low at the club that that sort of effort gets you recognised.

 

[Possession]

He's still on the right track. I feel bad for him that we put in that performance against a side that never gave him a go, must have been so embarrassing for the kid.
