Adam Pattison

[TimeFor11]

No idea if he will be put up for trade, some Richmond people seem to think he will.

Anyone out there interested?

 

[CrazyQ]

Absolute champion of a bloke, but an average footballer.

 

[Future Star]

I wonder how he would good if he played as a permanent forward, was never big enough to be a ruckman i believe.

 

[JackMac]

if the tigers dont get a trade or pick up a real full forward i would leave him there, just work on his kicking in the pre season and he should be good to go. wasnt he in the under 19s at centre half forward and got in the TAC team of the year there.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Cant play as a KPD?

Cant play as a KPD?

no. would struggle against the quicker talls. would only get the resting ruckmen if he was to play in defense.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Richmond need ruckman and KPF forwards. If they of all clubs wanted to trade him, I doubt there'd be any interest. It'd be like the Bulldogs trying to trade a key forward.

I don't think we'd be driving a hard bargain with Patto. Love the guy, and he's a good set shot, but hard to see him filling any position particularly well. Second ruckman (his workrate is good) ar 3rd tall.

Be happy to keep him. Every club needs players like these, at times.

 

[crowsarethebest]

One of the classic too small/to ruck(he's like 197cm?) but not mobile/athletic enough to be a KPP.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Is he the guy that rucked for richmond against the eagles in round 22 ?

If so he is the worst ruckman I have seen for a while, a big slow dinosaur
who was quite frankly pathetic in that game.

Nah I'm pretty sure that was Angus Graham

 

[TimeFor11]

Nah didnt play in 22 think that was the Angus Burger who is pretty average. Its not a game I wanna remember tbh.

 

[Spluff]

Simmonds did the majority of the ruckwork in Rd. 22.

 

[coasting]

An absolute dud.

Cheers Mitchy it was Angus Graham hopefully you guys can get rid of him and get someone decent on your list.

 

[Rancid_Beasties]

Patto is worth more to us than he would be to any other club. If he can recapture his 2007 form he could be a reasonable workhorse 3rd tall/ruck for us. Although he has got to be one of the least mobile 197cm ruckmen I have ever seen.

 

[coke_zero]

why judge him on 1 game?

 

[TO HOT TO HANDLE]

Pattison, if we need to keep him would be a good backup ruckman, but he coud be tried as a big bodied Centre Half Back, at 197cm he would have a long reachand he is not as slow as you think.

 

[JackMac]

i would rather him than angus graham, angus dosent do enough around the grounds where as patto does and he kicks goals, it would be silly to trade him, he just needs some time in the pre season working on his running

 

[The Donners]

Ruckmen are hard to come by hence Jason Laycock and Troy Simmonds were offered new contracts when most thought they wouldn't.

Someone will pick up Adam Pattison if Richmond choose to move him on.

 

[spina#39]

Laycock is a dud. How he was a top 10 pick is beyond belief. Bellchambers is better than him.

 

[tony_montana]

why judge him on 1 game?

bc he is that much of a gumby. I can just never forget watching him reularly trip over his own feet at the burgers as long as you are tall enough you are in the mix as an AFL ruckman, what a joke.

 

[Delids]

If Simmons stays Patto is gone simple
If we get a third or fourth round pick lets take and move on

 

[The Donners]

Laycock is a dud. How he was a top 10 pick is beyond belief. Bellchambers is better than him.

I think you've simply jumped on board popular opinion. Laycock is immensely talented however he's lazy. Bellchambers isn't better than Laycock.

Laycock would be the no. 1 ruckman at a lot of AFL clubs. He's played on 50 or so games in 6+ years because of injury, as soon as he gets a steady run you'll be eating your words.
