today he was terrible- he actually has been terrible for a long time
Couldnt possibly go on next year :banghead
-
agreed was weoful out there today, looked like he was tring to pick up a ping pong ball at times, Not good enough for AFL football, should be sacked at year end...Browne needs to come into the side :-\
-
agree just one of many who wont help us win a flag unfortunately.
-
Trevor Nesbit ? rom the eagles was on pre game and he confirmed that Mark seaby has asked to be traded! we couldnt could we?
-
Sadly for Patto the end might be nigh. He tries hard but trying alone won't guarantee success.
-
Adam PATTISON may or may not go on.
Adam Patterson will not play a game for Richmond.
Been on the sauce today Jack?
:thumbsup

Patto is a in-betweener. Not really a ruckman and not really a key forward. With younger tall(er) options now available in both the ruck and up forward who are better skilled, Patto is looking shakey to stay on the list.
GR, the Swans are apparently interested in Seaby. Well I hope so :-\.

Graham deserved to be dropped...Patto now needs to be dropped
Bring on Browne

I don't think it is so much that he is inbetweener MT. He's just not good enough. His balance, movement and hand skills are terrible. He doesn't have the awareness or hurt the opposition enough to play around the ground. He has the posture of an 80 year old man and just lopes around. Give him a bit more height or a bit more pace and he might be better suited to a particular position, but I don't think he would have be any more effective.
Time's up for Patto.

Terrible - I was at the Willy Coburg game on which Patto got promoted. All I can presume is they were seeing if he could show anything. Some of his turnovers and fumbles are just outright unnacceptable at AFL level. :banghead

A player that always gives his best and carried our ruck on his own in trying times deserves some respect. He makes a few mistakes but at least he gets his hands on the ball and tackles when other ruckman are just spectators.
I don't know why his team mates would deliver the ball to his feet when he is surrounded by three oposition players - they must have a sense of humour.
How old is he anyway? He would be taken by other clubs if we cut him.

PATTO ALWAYS CREATS A CONTEST AND BUSTS HIS ARSE
he is here to stay, every team needs a bloke like him
once his confidence is up, he will dominated
remember talls take more time

They didn't deliver it to his feet in the opening minutes of the game. It was put on his chest in the forward pocket,and he dropped it like a bar of soap.Seconds later he picked it up near the boundary, tried to hook it to the goalsquare, and only managed to squirt it thirty metres straight up into the air under very little pressure. The guy is a willing competitor, but he is a hack. Not up to VFL standard, let alone AFL. If he would be taken by other clubs as you say, then great, let's trade him. He'll do absolutely nothing for us.

patto dropped a chest mark in a game where the wind was creating havoc

As comical as that bit of play was, it was not an isolated or uncharacteristic incident from the big Patto. Believe me, I've been watching him week in, week out for the last five years including his games at Coburg, and he is just not up to it. He just massacres one opportunity after another with his clumsiness and his sub-par skills.

I watched him at Northern Knights, stuffed if I know how he won the B & F there, as he wasnt up to it :banghead :banghead :banghead

Comparing Patto to Brown and Richo is ridiculous. I think Patto is more comparable to a goal post.
