What’s his contract status

on around 550 - 600k from reports.

Will excite and youll love him at times, then the next minute try to do to much and frustrate.
When hes going hes good, when hes not hes well very NOT.
But hoping he plays well for you guys. was unfairly judged and criticised with us

We probably don't need to be posting stuff like that GR, the blokes a Roo now and there's a fair chance you'll find posts like that in 80% of player threads.

He comes in essentially the equivalent of a pick in the 50-70's roughly, pure steak knives, which ain't bad for a bloke we targeted heavily last season.

I'm holding my whipping hand back until he's played a half dozen games for us.

Doesn't look bad at all on this graphic. Above average and elite. Got enough contested ball winners to ignore his below average there

 

[Twinkletoes]

Think back to the game against * where their little shits ran us ragged.

We're addressing an obvious weakness.

Bullet dodged. Peahart pittard, makes Macmillan look tough

Absolute joke

He can be your whipping boy

Start afresh in 2019!

the idiots running our list management never cease to dissapoint

Not against this but not rubbing my legs together in excitement. Adds a bit of depth at worst and we didn't sell the farm for him. Not every bloke we trade for has to be elite. Worse players than Pittard have served the club excellently.

Welcome to North, Jasper!

 

[Groucho]

Didn't think we'd have a Jasper playing for us. I grew up in a house on Jasper Road Bentleigh and there was that Jasper Carrot guy but a footy player?

 

[Twinkletoes]

If nothing else we are certainly proving Port can indeed be torn apart.

 

[susurrar]

i see this as a very similar pickup to hall.

despite everyone shitting on him, pittard was a good player a couple of years ago, made the all australian squad if i recall correctly.

like hall, will be a good recruit if he can get back to his peak form. thats a big if for both of them.

 

[Groin guru]

All aboard the Pittard Pickup guys and gals. Pittard's driving! I've called shotgun but the cab is empty so hop in!

 

[andana]

Who do you like more, jmac or pittard?

Pittard used to be jmac. Jasper McMillan- Pittard.

Good trading Kangas! All the players you are bringing or will bring in which I believe address a need without paying overs. Pittard cost bigger all and he will create competition for spots. Hall, POlec and Pittard is a good group in my opinion.

 

[Event Horizon]

I’m not a huge fan of Pittard, but he’s a major upgrade on Clarke in the backline, no doubt about that.

That hair, moustache and tattoo don't look great to me though...

 

[kangaspurs]

At worst he's AFL-quality depth, and with our recent injury record that's a welcome sight. At best he's a borderline AA squad quality running defender who addresses a major need. And we picked him up for basically nothing. It's not a bad deal.

I'm a little concerned about the potential opportunity cost to the likes of Murphy and then LDU/Ahern/Simpkin with this and the mooted Tyson trade respectively, and a little concerned too that Brad will move into job-saving mode and become even more risk averse when it comes to playing youth.

In any case, this guy's a North player now and while he wears the royal blue and white stripes we should all get behind him. Welcom, Jasper.

My name is Jasper Inigo Pittardo.

I am elite at the Rebounda 50s.

Prepare to die.

 

[roojor]

We needed another running half back to help Marley upgrade on Clarke

 

[Hazey1977]

I don't mind if he doesn't kick it all, he just has to run fast, tackle blokes and handpass.

Does this allow Luke to move from HBF?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Must let him play his natural game. He will make mistakes, but hopefully outweighed by the good.

Can he actually defend? 1on1 and at ground level?
