News Jarrod Lienert signs for Balwyn

[VineValerian]

Rebounding half back

Can also play wing.

 

[Jonts]

Can also play wing.

Can he though
At AFL level can you see him making a career out of wing?

 

[Astronema]

i think he has enough weapons to forge a 100 game or so career if things fall his way, but he was well behind our other half backs and the kids coming through are just getting better every year so he might fall too far behind really quickly.

 

[TeeKray]

Literally never played a bad game at AFL level.

fumbles around, giving up easy goals by being uncoordinated, kicking to the opposition and generally being pretty shit but because he's a few cms taller and spoils it over the boundary every now and then everyone raves about him.

Didn't play too bad but also didn't really add much either. Decent back up but thats all imo.

 

[Marmozet]

Good news. When he fails there too, hopefully this board's utterly random obsession with how he'd truly be a great player if only he was given a chance can finally end.

Nobody ever said that.

People only praised him because he was as handy as far as depth players go. Every time he was called upon, he rarely ever let us down.

If every depth player was as solid, consistent and reliable as Lienert was then we’d be doing pretty well.

 

[Traveling_Power]

Can also play wing.

and kicked a few good goals in trial games

 

[PatientMental]

Jarrod is almost 28, he's not gonna randomly pop up as a regular winger in a position that he last played when he was like 21-22

 

[dirty2]

Lienert always did his job when called on... Will never be an A grader but I would quite happily (and so should we all) if he can continue his AFL career for a couple more years somewhere else.

 

[philthy05]

What's is his best position guys?

Good size, but not really a key defender is he?

As others have said rebounding defender.

Not really an intercept marker, nor a stopper.

Think of him as an outside mid who plays in defense.

Solid-ish player who you could do much worse than signing him as depth. Just don’t expect him to break out. He is what he is and don’t see him becoming anything else now.

He will be excellent for your vfl side week in and week out and if called up to the league he will do just enough to not make you regret it.

 

[Grave Danger]

And his name is pronounced as Jyryd Lynyrt

 

[RossFC]

What's is his best position guys?

Good size, but not really a key defender is he?

Half back flank and can be a 3rd tall defender when a KPD is on the bench or whatever.

mate i think u need to look at the fact that howard was traded for a first round pick while leinert was delisted lmao

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Yeah a versatile vanilla half back flanker.

An ideal back up/sub but if he's regularly making your best 22 it's because your other HBF are either injured or stagnating.

 

[Freomaniac]

Can also play wing.

Tall enough to Play Centre half back surely?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Tall enough to Play Centre half back surely?

Tall enough, but not good enough. Sure he can be a stop gap when an in game injury happens.

Jonas is 188cm and plays FB, CHB, but is physically strong enough. Linert is a 195cm flanker.

He played as a tall wingman for Sturt for a couple of years before we rookie drafted him.

Yep and he was solid for sturt in that 2016 season. Played in sturts 2016 grand final and got a premiership medal.

Nearly got another one for the Port Adelaide magpies in that 2017 Sanfl grand final too.

 

[FishingRick04]

SANFL?

Dougal Howard was traded for a "First round pick"

We got 12 and 18, but had to give up 10 and Howard. So really it slides the value back to early second round. Basically St Kilda said Dougal Howard wasn't worth giving up pick 18.

10 and Howard and Ryder.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

10 and Howard and Ryder.

All of which descreases the value of Howard as being traded for a first round pick.

 

[bird_man]

Ryder was worth very little at the time. If he wasn't thrown into the Howard trade I would have expected to see him traded for a very late pick.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Ryder was worth very little at the time. If he wasn't thrown into the Howard trade I would have expected to see him traded for a very late pick.

Big men hold their value and you wanted an experienced ruckman. If Ryder was traded by himself and Port didn't really want to trade him, he would have been a mid to late 3rd round pick, say in the 50-55 range. But he was surplus to our needs, you knew that, so if he was traded by himself he probably would have been traded as a late 4th round range.

Howard if he was traded by himself probably would have been a pick 30, but because he was in contract, can't remember if it was a 2 or 3 year contract, so his price went up a bit to say 25 range.

Pick 55+25 = 963 pts Pick 18 = 985 pts.

okay he was traded for a secound round pick while leinert was delisted

[Ford Fairlane]

Picked up by St Kilda. Good luck Jarrod!
