And what exactly IS Pattison's position ?

he should be playing CHF but our ruck stocks killed that option fairly early in his career

He's not big enough to ruck.

He can kick well enough to play forward.

He's too slow to play back.


Where did he play his junior footy Phantom?

I've asked that questions many times on here. Watched him play on the weekend and the first thing you notice is that his running looks very awkward. He really struggled to keep up with Jolly when he was in the backline.

What do you expect when you're playing a 196cm boy, playing out of position, against 2 x 200+cm experienced ruckmen.

With all due respects Patto is in his 4th year

Yes hes still a boy but not as much of a boy as people think

What exactly is his position ? I think he is to not agile enough in todays game to be a key forward & his kicking isn't that flash.I think backup forward/ruckmen is prob the most we could get.

I feel like I’m bringing a butter knife to a gun fight defending Sir Les at the moment, but I could point out at least 5 guys as being more disappointing than him on the weekend.

Although admittedly I spend so much of the first half with my head in my hands perhaps my choice of scapegoats was not 100% accurate.

we had him at Club 80 last week (week before) he & Emma donated $2k worth of Sports Bet vouchers, that is next years raffle prizes sorted :)

and if the tigers win the flag after midseason injury crisis and controversy,

Its essentially a 20 grand donation

What a thread. I want to see more from the deep PRE archives.
'Will Ben Moore be as good as Clay Sampson?'
'Will Luke Weller be as good as John Manton?'
'Will Chris Pym be as good as Mark Eustice?'

I love that despite seeing him for 5 years at the tigers the Saints still drafted him! And then the Hawks! Wonder if he was Clarko the genius that wanted him, it was Clarko that wanted Vickery.
