News Jarrod Lienert signs for North Melbourne VFL

[OneGreatClub]

Played smart in the wet toady. Ignored senior teammates asking for a stupid handball a number of times to move it on long and put it to our player's advantage, or at least not to their disadvantage with the kick.

I noticed that too

Just shows you, a good solid sanfl player with a few years of senior level experience can slot right in and play his role at afl level. Theyre out there, too much is made of trivial crap like time trials and agility tests and whatever other pointless crap they do these days. Not enough based on solid good footballers. We should learn from this.

I think all clubs acknowledge that there are good players out there in the state leagues who can step in and add something to an AFL side. But always a bit miffed at these kind of righteous posts that inevitably pop up - I mean, guys like Darren Pfeiffer & Simon Phillips were excellent in the year or two preceding their re-drafting so a holistic approach assessing and benchmarking all their attributes (which yes, does involve time trials & agility tests) is an important step in the process. Lienert clearly had an awesome kick on him and his performance in the finals in 2016 was outstanding, but there are many guys at state league level who've honed their game to be highly successful at that level while exhibiting deficiencies that hinder their ability to step up when placed in the AFL.

But back on topic and he has stepped in and looked very composed in both of his matches thus far. Adaptable and reliable are very handy traits to possess.

Reckon he might have a decent year as our third tall replacing Hombsch. Looked really composed at the top level.

 

[Magus]

Cool bump, would read again.

 

[Power Raid]

had a ripper 6 games in 2018. Expecting bigger and better things in 2019!

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

I thought he looked OK too. Needs a bit of size though

 

[Wargreymon90]

Didnt use his long kick at al this season. Probably just another exple of our coaches trying to suck out the nature flair from our players in the interest of "team football"

 

[Powerstufff]

Didnt use his long kick at al this season....

I think we touted McKenzie for the long kicking. Will select him and not Leinert for the game we plan to do that.

Put one kicking out from the extra ling goal square and one on the wing and keep Charlie in the other goal square

Calm your farm fella, that would be at least 2 people kicking long in one game. Are we ready for that?

Jarrod Lienert exploring his Aboriginal heritage through Port's programs

PORT ADELAIDE defender Jarrod Lienert has long known about his Indigenous heritage but it has only been in the past year that he has started to explore that part of his identity.
The powerfully built big man has had a big year, breaking into the Power side and making his AFL debut late in the 2018 campaign.

lol the only thing so far I remember about Lienert is his AFLX performance last year. Pushed a few blokes over, gave away 50's and kicked a ball away. All with a s**t eating smirk.

There’s my question answered. I was wondering why he was in that pic.

Played alright in his half a dozen games at the end of the season. Showed enough to look like an AFL player.

I admit I didn't watch much of the tail end of the season. I doubt I'm the only one.

 

[Tibbs]

I watched every single minute right up to/incl the last pathetic game ... self-imposed punishment for being a Port supporter!

Ps: Lienert was a bright star in an otherwise dark & gloomy night!

 

[tangolikelama]

Pretty sure it was the game against the Doggies last year he looked ******* impressive

 

[Marmozet]

This bloke could be the final nail in Broadbent's coffin.

The final dart in his mouth

 

[TheFVK]

Tall, composed and a brilliant penetrating kick.. he's a starter based on his performances at the back end of last year.

 

[Prison bar Pete]

He's a real Port player for sure

 

[Byrons Firen]

and draft highlights



Let's assume we play a more open organised style this year then Jarrod could should be a real weapon.
From these clips ^ it's obvious he 'sees' options and with the power in his leg these options can be 60ms away.
Chad Cornes said of Lienert in 2017 "I think we've found a player here".

 

[JUSTWORK]

With Butron, Houston and Hartlett (little bit of midfeild ?) across half back id like to see Lienert used in the midfield a bit this year, really opens up a spot for him in the AFL side. Great size, good pace and BOOMING kick. Would be handy through the middle.

I feel that he has been a bit pigeonholed in defence at the SANFL because of our lack of height in the maggies.

Surely taking the piss in AFLX is enough to make him a fan favourite

Agreed.

Let's not go nuts.
