Player Watch Father-Son Pick #60 (2021) - Jase Burgoyne

[PJ Power]

The last contested mark was very impressive too.

 

[TeeKray]

It's scary how similar he is to his Dad. He can get to that level if he wants to.

Yep, but even more impressive was the contested possession and ground ball he won across half back some 30 seconds earlier.

Reckon he’s tougher earlier in his career than Peter was, but nowhere near as mercurial, skilled or polished. Peter became a braver, more resilient and reliable player from around 2004. Jase definitely lacks class with disposing of the ball, but he’s surprisingly “classy” in winning it around contests. He contests the ball with clean hands and strong body the way Lachie Jones must learn to do.

Who hates him?

Excellent and so good in the dying stages it's great watching a young bloke who doesn't panic.

Him and JHF are our most clutch players. At other clubs it's the kids who are the least clutch, but at Port the kids are the players who have spent the least time with Ken Hinkley telling them that football is scary.

You can add skill and polish. Everything else he's got can't be taught.

He reminds me more of an unpolished Shaun tbh I think his kicking will improve.

 

[Chewy316]

Best on tonight for me. He's one of the few players this team has who I'm confident will step up in big moments, and more often than not, make the right decision under pressure when games are extremely tight. He doesn't look natural given his frame and unconventional gait, but it clearly works for him, and despite his lack of size, he doesn't too often get beat in 1 on 1 contests.

I love Willy D but young Jase was robbed for the ANZAC medal.

Who hates him?

3/4 of this board said he can’t kick for s**t and dropped forever 3-4 weeks ago

Grew into the game tonight.

I’ve been really surprised with Jase. Wasn’t sure he had what it takes but he has really stepped up. Has toughened up. Better defensively. Well done Jase!

 

[Powerade 08]

His Kicking will improve if/when he gets stronger, his decision making isn't terrible but the kicks die in the air and fall short.

Hes better in a contest than our captain thats for sure.

 

[gbear]

Was a shining light tonight.

 

[jackag24]

Another great game. He's improved in leaps and bounds from what we saw earlier in the season

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

I literally don't care mate.

My passion for this club is done.

 

[rogerjames]

Has had 2 top games in a row. Has stayed involved all game, always presenting as an option thru gut running & winning ground balls under pressure. Just needs to get stronger to get more penetration in his kicking.

I reckon he’s not playing with full confidence yet. Once he puts on a bit of size, he will be great

 

[yepits2020]

Best game for us. A couple of absolutely game defining plays in the last quarter. Nineteenth game today, still raw, so will have consistency issues. But potential is certainly there.

 

[Tibbs]

What I love about him is his natural footballing ability, being able to get into great positions, find open spaces, yet really contest well one on one. Has no problems finding/winning the ball, but earlier in the game I was a bit frustrated with some of his disposals & decision-making - Like passing to players under pressure when there were better options. That easy push-out in the last was also a bit meh.

But he just kept at it through the game, and got better and better, ending up one of the best on ground.

Fact is that he is still a weedy kid, and will continue to grow into his body, gain more confidence, and improve on his weaknesses. No doubt in my mind that he will go on to be a star of the comp in years to come.
