CAREER HIGHS:
DREAMTEAM: 87 vs Adelaide 2011
SUPERCOACH: 88 vs Adelaide 2011
HISTORY:
2009 Picked up in the NAB AFL draft at pick 16. Provided plenty of dash from defence for the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup and VIC Country in the NAB AFL Under 18 championships. Composed, footy smart and a good kick, he impressed club's with his knowledge of the game. Lightly built he was expected to take time to develop.
2010 Spent his first season for Port in the SANFL with Sturt, although he was named as an emergency for Port on five occasions, including four straight weeks from rounds 17-20. The running half-back/midfielder has undoubted talent.
2011 The first round 2009 draft pick showed his undoubted talent by finishing equal seventh in the best and fairest despite being restricted to 13 games, missing nine weeks with a hamstring injury, playing as a running half-back. In just his fourth game he was nominated for the NAB AFL Rising Star award after a standout performance in Showdown 30
2012 His season was ruined by injury and played only one game. Broken ribs/Punctured lung and Hamstring injuries
JASPER Pittard's bad run of luck has continued, with the young Port half back suffering a suspected broken rib and bleeding in his lungs after a heavy collision with teammate Chad Wingard during the win against Melbourne on Saturday night.
The 21-year-old was playing his first AFL game for 2012 after persistent hamstring troubles
VERDICT: Played in the win over WB in london and looks set to have a full preseason. If he can overcome his hamstring troubles he is in the best 22 and will be a bargain.
PREDICTION: An average of 65-75 is on the cards for this talented youngster.
'I want a strong season' - Pittard

Nice right up mate!! WIll give a good look at him in the pre season!!
I can have two of Staker, Pittard and Terlich. At this stage, which two do you reckon I should choose?

Lock Pittard in, and the other two come down to what you would rather...JS or scoring potential?

He is on the money!!
Yeah, he is a lock for me as well.
Pittard will be among the 1st picked in the Port defence this season, if he gets his body right.
Port want to develop his game and I can see him take on the role that D Pearce had.
lock for me as well & potential keeper.
is he a rebounder? Thought hed be more the 3rd tall option? And take that awkward height player

Good to hear. Pittard's locked in for me.
Nice write up FF
have had him in my side for a while now. Cheap and will play if fit. Only need him to go 60-70odd to make enough money for an upgrade
Had him in my first team since seeing he was that price. Providing named round 1, locked for me.

I'd assume that the 3rd tall spot which Chaplin has opened up will go to either Cam O'Shea or Jack Hombsch. Pittard will rebound more for sure. As for midfield time, depends on whether he bulks up.
with me he`ll be on my pench all year.
I thing ;)
Not sure on this guy.
Should average between 50-75 but its his injuries that concern me. He's supposed to be bench cover, right? That means you'd like him to play each week and make you money!
I'm swaying more toward Terlich, Vlastuin, Heath and Docherty atm. Pederson also a lock for a little more :)
Costs a little more now the prices are official but worth it imo .. looks like VS can see the potential in this guy aswell
I was expecting a price rise, but really not sure now.
130k is quite a bit for someone with his injury history... :-\

+1 I think between Terlich, Goodes, Colquhon and Vlastuin there are better options!
I immediately gave Pittard the boot and moved Pedo back there from his previous R3 position. But now I have Grundy on my ruck bench which I'm not entirely thrilled with. :-\
no way in hell will this guy be third tall. he is an absolute twig. HOWEVER he does have an absolute booming kick on him and plays the outside game very well and reads the play. was looking like ports go to man out of defence the game he did play. Hamstrings are a worry but he has some pace too so if he stays injury free this pre season i dont see any reason not to pick him
Think hombsch will fill the Chaplin hole, Pittard more attacking out of def/wing where pearce played. One of Stevenson/Colquhon to play 3rd tall
Not a third Tall that's silly, he will play bp or hb and either way if he does play often will get the footy and will score well, the Q is will he play 15+ games

Just the first 6 will do.

yehh his hammy's need to hold up. Looking at one of Pittard/Stevenson/Colquhon depending on NAB. could potentially be 2 of those considering the players port have lost and cos its port and theyre shower so will blood the youngsters for us DTers :)

I like the first part, but not the 2nd. If Hombsch is replacing Chaplin (which he is) then he is the 3rd tall as that is what Chaplin was.

Amen to that. Although as a Port supporter if he's fit for the whole season that would be nice too. :D

@silkyskills yehh i meant more like youll have carlisle, hombsch, and trengrove as your 3 defenders with colquhon/stevenson drifting across the packs from time to time to help out. but no way pittard would stand a chance in the packs haha.
@richochet, all depends on NAB cup as always. to be honest i think hombsch, stevenson, colquhon are probably ahead of him at this stage, however he could prove me wrong. theres also the likes of O'shea and Blee who will round out the defensive unit, so Heath has a lot of work to do if he wants to get into the side imo.
According to DTTalk Pittard and Neade were standouts in the Port intraclub game

Neade is an interesting one... Pitard will be a great cash cow in our backlines this year - expect him to play most games
Pittard is locked for me if named round one. Currently sitting in my team, along with Stevenson.

i am hoping pittard can string a few games together early, he has been floating in and out of my teams
Played well in the intra-club so after initially being skeptical I'm on and have been for a few weeks now!
Surely of all the backline players Port can choose from, Pittard's their first choice? They rate him really highly from what I've heard and he must be ahead of Heath, Stevenson, Clurey and Colquhoun. Hombsch will likely go into Chaplin's role and Pearce's place filled by Pittard. Apologies if the latter sentence has already been said...
