patto not ready

[Croat tiger]

i don't think pattison is quite ready for the afl ranks yet he looks out of his depth at this stage and is kinder lean too so suggest a weights program over
summer would benefit him. he definately needs more time in the two's.

id give patto the rest of the year in the 2's and if we need a tall bring morrison in and let him have a go. patto will go out for staff this week.

 

[madtiger2005]

it's hard to tell since he didn't spend too much time on the ground.

Where art thou Schultz?

It'll be a good experience for him to have had a run. With the ruckmen and tall forwards playing well it's going to be hard for him to get a run, same goes for Schulz.

Bring in Jacko, we sorely missed his physical presence today. And he is a cooler head than patto. With the way the game was clogged up today, runners would of been better than talls.

Was very evident that we missed our 3rd prominent marking forward today.
It got bombed into the goal sqaure and Richo had Wakelin and Prestigicomo to beat, generally we would have had Staff who I regard as better one out with opposition defenders.
Back on topic, give Patto a chance, cut him some slack, not everyone stars in their first games.. gees.

the thread isn't here to bag him caster,it's my opnion he just needs a little more time in two's.don't worry he will a good player for us in the coming years.

I thought his first game was on a par with Tambling's and Meyers. When he got a chance he went at it hard ...all you can ask. Its gotta be 5 gears up on anything he has played in before but he still knew where to be and what needed to be done without being able to execute...he'll be just fine methinks.

They all should be prepared to go up and back this season. Good for their development plus makes em hungry.

not an ideal game to make your debut when the opposition Flood.Give him an open fwd line then who knows.
