Player Watch #41: Jacob Konstanty - Welcome to North Melbourne - traded with L.Parker for Pick 44

[koshari]

But still? Seems a bit high schoolish.

no worse than getting into trouble for a poorly thought out theme that a barman at a closed function squealed about.

Out of interest, did he play TAC with any of our current lads?

Played at Drouin, same place GA senior, Daisy Thomas and Tippa came from.

 

[koshari]

be good if he turns out as good as the last set of steak knives we got from Sydney?

Came in to say welcome and wish the boy well, we have been in need of some small pressure forwards for yonks, so the opportunity is there, hope both him and Geordie can make it, most good teams have multiple of their type in the mix.

He’s in the same team as BGZ in a lot of those highlights……BGz must’ve been under age.

We ended up trading pick 25 for Daniel but using 44 we got back a pick 20 in Konstanty. Rawling is a freak! :stern look

Welcome Jacob….good to have you on board

Loving the ferocity of his tackles. Really hope for our sake and his that he makes a real go of it. His energy is what is missing up forward for us. Looks to have plenty of X factor about him as well.

Welcome to the greatest club on the planet.

And then JK killed Callum Mills and the love affair was over.

Callum should’ve known better than to mess with a Gippsland boy!

He’s the 68th ranked medium forward in the comp for pressure acts.

He’s about 38th for tackles.

He’s 22nd for goals per game and was matched by Curtis who is 5 years his junior this season.

We just signed him to a 5 year deal on big money.

It’s fair to say I think that was a mistake when we could have had a shot at another high draft pick if he left via FA. He’s easily replaceable and may simply be replaced in the coming years if he doesn’t pull his finger out and actually tries to defend instead of being a one way runner.

As I said, his stats stick out like a sore thumb as the big problem with our forward half pressure given he is the senior medium forward in the side.

He is eq19th in the comp for total tackles inside 50.

24th for average tackles if you don't count players who played only a few games. Compared to last year and the year before where he was 170something and 160. Similar ranks for total tackles those years too.

His defensive efforts this year inside 50 were a huge increase on what he's done in previous seasons.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Is he a bit like Kayne Turner then?

My thoughts exactly. Hopefully can develop a body quicker and be more of an offensive threat.

Holy shit does that mean Daniel cost pick 5!!!!

So he played with the beegees

Welcome Jacob , looks to love to tackle - hard.
Will be good to have some pressure upfield.

 

[Del191229]

I need to know what happened here. Surely he didn't get ostracised because of a training mishap?

Look at what happened to Wicks for simply talking to someone's ex.

 

[DuckYeah]

Has psycho eyes, love him already

Same as Payne. He looks like he wants to spear tackle everyone he looks at. Good having two mongrels in the team

I've got 1/4 of that just thinking about it.

And then JK killed Callum Mills and the love affair was over.

Apparently recruited as a training partner for LMac.

Sorry, I was reading about the history of Constantinople just recently.

As you do.

I admit to doing a bit of research on this topic myself.

Well, I listened to the song by They Might Be Giants (a very decent cover version of the 4 Lads hit, Istanbul). Saw TMBG at Collingwood town hall a long time ago.

And my sister lives in Hastings, so 1066 comes up occasionally.

She's a neighbour of rickety then.

 

[krakouers]

So he played with the beegees

Hopefully more “You Win Again” than “Alone”

 

[Rooboys Rool]

Good steak knives, ill eat my hat if he makes it.

 

[CBSlogger]

Got a good feeling with JK.

Has had injuries and is a November kid so still a teenager and half a year behind say Lohmann was last year, who kicked 1 goal from 8 games in his first 2 years (mostly subbed in / out) before 35+ this year.

I have high hopes for these steak knives.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Well your're either in or out with Longmire

Hope he makes a fool out of us.

Hopefully razor sharp..

Any insight as to why he was ‘out’ so early?
