Jake Aarts

[Bunnerz]

not playing well at all.

reminds me of Blumfield was it?

 

[thegdog]

Why in the hell would you play Aarts as sub (shouldn’t be in firsts anyway) when you are playing at Marvel and pace is crucial?

 

[Dyer'ere]

Aarts isn't flying very high. So a junior should be able to take his spot soon.

 

[bairdy380]

Said it on numerous occasions, has the ability (speed) to get to the right spots… but is off AFL decision making speed of mind to make the better decision when under pressure. If he was no good we’d be saying he never got near it… our bigger problem is that he does. I’m a fan, but know this isn’t his true level… he can play at this level, but not tight or contested.

Aarts = Oouts

Ins = Sonz

That's astounding if we have given Aarts that contract I didn't know we had.

I messed up. We did give him 2 years, but on October 30, 2020. He's out after this year.

I live a Jake Aarts story more than anyone but it’s time to move on now.

Phew!

 

[scottyturnerscurse]

Why play him?

Not part of the successful past.

Certainly not part of the future.

And, as subs go, a terrible option.

Ins = Sonz

so Sonsie in the sub vest, possibly getting no game time rather than playing a full game in the VFL?

in a few weeks when everyone has games under their belts kids can go sub (if they cant break their way into the 22) but these early few weeks Aarts is the perfect sub, where it doesnt matter if he only gets limited game time.

When he came on was when we got absolutely smashed in the game. Not solely blaming Jake obviously but it does matter.

 

[Aegean Tiger]

Surely he gets punted for good now.....

 

[MalenyTiger]

I reckon aarts himself would be sick of being sub and would look forward to a full game in the twos. I'm not an aarts fan but he isn't the problem

 

[Tigers of Old]

Been a great effort but reckon that will now be curtains for Jake.

 

[TigerForce]

Yep. Proven nothing.

Yep, just hope the door doesn't hit him in the Aarts on the way out.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

It's been a long time coming but his Make-A-Wish credits have expired.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Yep. Proven nothing.

Except that he’s a good VFL player.

 

[TigerForce]

Don't worry Aartsy will be back next week...

Good to see FAarts is playing where he belongs in the VFL
