Is there an ETA on his injury? Would be really nice to have him rotating with Simmonds at CHF.

I liked seeing Patto at CHF last year, I think he could slip under a few radars if utilized properly.
I think we'd be in some serious strife if Patto emerges as our best option at CHF, I dont mind him as second fiddle in the ruck but I stop short of seeing as a KPP prospect

Showed a lot of poise when he dropped forward last year.
ETA? when did you join the military?

Can someone please give me an ETA of when Patto will start playing like a decent AFL footballer...
Cheers.

Aaargggggggghhh F%#K 1980 go barrack for Collingwood!!!!!
He is a good footy player. 176 hit outs in 18 games in '07. (his 2nd full year) Just needs time.
Robert Campbell rucked in a flag in '08 at 26 and did less than Patto in his first few years.
Bet Clarkson's happy Hawthorn decided to develop him!!!!
We have frustratingly many blokes who seem to have been just under thier potential. Hughes, Tambling and Patto to name three.
Perhaps being on the training ground with one of the best players of the past 20 years will get them to see how it is done.

Well of course, Gus is still getting out of his massive man sized nappies.
I just really fear for our Ruck situation if Simmo goes down and with Polak out, to me it seems we'd be pretty screwed.

Patto might struggle as a long-term prospect but at least he's a big body we can throw down there, would have been very handy last week against Collingwood.
And as others have said, big blokes usually take more time to come on so there is still hope.
So, moving on from the ETA issue, anyone know anything about if/when he will play? What is his injury anyway?

Lets hope so - I really hope Patto can develop but I'm not holding my breath.
I reckon you look at Will Minson and you can almost see Patto in a couple of years. I'm not saying Minson is as good as Carey, but he plays a pretty important role at the Bulldogs in terms of making a contest and bringing to ground what he doesn't grab. If we could get that out of Patto I would be pretty happy.
Agree, and Patto looked way more more mobile than Minson in that intra-club when he took that massive hanger!

Ruckman take longer to develop than any other type of player. McIntosh and Jolley are two good examples of this. Patto has all the tools but its time he stood up. I really hope he does. Simmo can be so dangerous when he gets forward.
