No way Pattison is more solid build than Ben, and 61 games for Tigers don't count for much. What has it been six years? Don't know where you got the 85 games from? Our own website says 64.saintbrat wrote:which may be the reason he was left in and Ben was not,Spinner wrote:
What i loved about Patto on Saturday was his ability to crash packs and take opposition players out by throwing his body in.
the pies have shown (rd 3) they will come out and crash and bash- Patto's solider build and experience ( 85 games) may be the deciding factor-
Ben has skill and dexterity but he still needs to build up and is only 21
Pies still only have one ruckman? Jolly so Gardi + parttimers may be seen to be enough..
Dempster is also coming back from persistant injuries- calf/ leg so would maybe not as effective in a 'Rough' game
One thing the Saints have shown this year is that they are not afraid of the solid work, but maybe are setting the team up for games which may include such tactics.
Pattison and McEvoy

Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell
