Patto at CHF

[the ranger]

With Graham playing well and Simmonds back in the side, Patto should have the chance to become our regular CHF. He should be given until Richo returns to make the position his own. I think everyone likes Patto's heart but there are questions over where he fits in our future plans. I think it's as a key position forward or nothing, so let's hope he's given that opportunity and seizes it.

He was drafted as a KPF and has the body to do it. If allowed to settle there he might surprise us.

i would love for him to become our CHF but i dont think he will. i think should play 75% leading from the goal and the rest in the ruck and following the ball

My only concern with him is his speed.

Is it just me or does he appear to lope around rather than run, I don't think he has that explosive speed off the mark to beat a defender on the lead.

I think 2nd Ruck/ resting goalsqaure is his go.
I think once Vickery is developed it'l be a Graham/Vickery duo with pattison shown the door.

It should be interesting to see how Patto goes. Would be great to see him take some strong marks and kick some goals

 

[krustyman]

dont recall patto taking too many marks or kicking that many goals.
lack of speed compared to brisbanes kpp means that they can easily run off him and create opportunities.
