When did Constable become Patrick Cripps?

[Joffa Burns]

A lot of chatter on here about a 7 gamer who is not in Geelongs best 22.

Might be a jet, might be a dud, personally I have no idea as I have seen him on the TV once or twice.

Interested to understand why he is so highly rated on this site?

[saintsRrising]

I think it is more that with the trade price of Steven having crashed that he may be a good way of extracting some vale out of he Cats.

If they give us a pick I suspect it would only be a late second, and I would rate Constable a lot higher than that.

[Devilhead]

He is a Sandringham Dragon kid, 190cm+ and has averaged 21 disposals over his first 7 games

His disposal count in his 7 games has been 21 31 23 16 21 27 11 - he also averaged 5 marks a game and kicked 5 goals in those first 7 games

An inside beast with huge upside - has had a super impressive start to his AFL career

[Devilhead]

Also averaged around 4 tackles and most of those games were less than 70% game time - has racked them up in the VFL as well - had a 40+ recently against North ressies

Would think it's pretty hard to break into the Cats mid field currently given they finished top

He is only 20 as well - seems built for the game and likely ready to go next year

With him and Bytel extracting - Steele tagging - add some speed and skills outside - would spice things up a bit

Good summaries of why he’s attractive. Young fella who could be a high quality mid if his initial burst onto the scene is anything to go by. Given a rising star nomination as well. Think he’s very much worth a punt. Has shown he has class and can fit in at senior level.

[Trev from the Bush]

Charlie Constable or Charlie Gardiner. Doesn't matter, it's a (Ryan) Gamble when the Cats offer a trade.

Stay with us Jack.

[Viscount Jeremiah]

I would try and get Narkle instead

After 7 games Jack Steven wasn't in our best 22.

You could 'see' it coming though. Remember, we had the best development coach going around back then

[Devilhead]

Looks pretty good doesnt he - oozes class!

He might harder to pry out though

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Constable will become a very good midfielder and would be a certain starter for us,ball magnet who goes at 70% efficiency,& 71% kicking at goal!

I think plays like Cripps was the description. He's no Patrick Cripps. How could he be? Constable's only played 7 games of footy for the Cats but each time he's played he's shown something significant.

Only 20 but averaging 21 disposals and four marks a game. He just keeps getting squeezed out of a talented Geelong line up.

Completely understand why the Saints might be into him. He has a very big upside. Very good user of the footy. Exceptional kick. Would boost our skill set which is pretty average to say the least.

[Devilhead]

If Steven really wants out I would be.more than happy with Constable........ and they can throw in their 2nd or 3rd rounder as well

[footynut]

Cats would need to add a sweetener to the deal as well, maybe second rounder or even if first rounder considering it will be pick 15-20.

Question for someone that has some VFL knowledge, who else in their VFL team has been impressive & has youth on their side?

[The Linton Street Flash]

Geelong are always trying to give away their quality kids for tubby 30 year olds, no wonder they consistently languish at the bottom of the table...

[SaintPav]

If Constable is any good he won't be going anywhere.

The same time Ben King became Tony Lockett

Round 2

He would be in our best 22 all day....
