Where is Adam Pattison?

What are people's thoughts of Patto as a CHF???

This is what we recruited him as, he can run all day, is getting a mature body and can take a pack mark/split a pack
My concern is he seems to be such a liability when the ball hits the ground, kicking ain't great and a CHF kicks into 50 a lot

Consensus seems to be he's not a CHFs toenail, personally I think he needs to be given a good run there before making any judgments, as you say he was recruited as a KPP who could ruck.

Would love for him to be the CHF that we want/need

Also who plays FF in the future?

Cleveland? Jay? Gourdis? Putt? Vickery?

Cleve or Jay this year.

Come on SKipper,you know what I mean
Give Patto ago MB.Why is it everyone acknowledges that talls do take time,yet when it comes to Patto he isnt afforded time to develop in one position.Moreso in Patto,s case as he was thrown well and truely into the deep end.His goakicking may not be the best atm[yet we put up with Richo after all these yrs],Doesnt take contested marks.I dont care if takes contested marks or not as long as he makes a contest.Let him settle before making judgements.
 
I'd give Patto a go if I saw something there. trouble is I dont see ANYTHING there. Isn't a good mark, is a poor kick. The only positive aspect of Patto people put forward is that he's a goer.

Can't see any harm plonking him at CHF and seeing how he goes.
He's a big powerful fugly bugger who will create a contest and back it up with second efforts at ground level.
He will straighten the side up and create opportunities for running midfielders to feed off any spillage and the kid has good hands feeding off to runners.
He's had to fill a ruck role and patch in rather than play where they expected to use him, who knows it may have fasttracked his development a bit.
A big shitetruck to create room for mids and take the physical pressure away from Jaaack, Mitch and others may be just what we need.
He kicks the very occaisional goal when he gets down forward, maybe he could compare with an old Cloke for creating heart palpitations whenever he has a shot.
