Jake Aarts

[zippadeee]

Unbelievably good.
Pure fighter. Never gives up.
He reminds me of Lambert in his 1st year

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Is having a crack and doesn't mind taking the game on.
Showing some good signs.

 

[thomas the tiger]

Played a really good game

 

[St Kevin]

I thought he along with Castagna and Rioli played the best game our smalls have played in a while.

Displayed some real coolness under pressure to evade tackles and hit targets.

 

[mainlandy]

Great game, harassed all night

 

[MD Jazz]

Best game for the club

 

[22nd Man]

Some nice sidesteps tonight and clean ball use.

He loves the sidestep. And I love his sidestep.

 

[Tigers2011]

Played his best game. Similar to Butler - not as quick but harder. I’ll take the later because it wins finals.

I reckon Emma Murray has got in Performing's head

I reckon she's hypnotised him so hes actually Michael Mitchell,

visualising being Jake Aarts.

she's good.

 

[Ridley]

Gotta say I thought he was lucky to hold his place as he's been well down the past couple of games. But he was fantastic tonight; a great game. He has this nice little sidestep/shimmy that he uses to great advantage.

Well done Jake

Well done Jake

how about when he mixed up his personas and thought he was Trevor Barker on Val Perovic,

but he was Michael Mitchell, visualising Jake Aarts, at fulllback, on NicNat.

I actually splurged rum over the couch

Yeah there were a couple of times out there tonight I thought he had a trampoline on the ground with him!

he has a similar thing going with tom lynch

that Danny used to have with Jack

It was the spoil of the year. Spud would have loved it. NicNat had the sit and Jake sat on his head.

 

[TrialByVideo]

His decision-making was super quick tonight. ..... maybe he realised that he belongs in the side and though playing your role is what we do at Richmond. .... his role is to play to his strengths. Loved it!

 

[achillesjones]

Aarts and Baker give us so much inspiration.

 

[DavidSSS]

Came in, played a couple of good games, then a couple of quiet games.

But tonight he just seemed to be able to get himself involved in contests. That spoil was simply amazing.

Hope it gives him some confidence. He can play at this level. Not many games so probably still getting used to the speed and hardness of AFL level, but if he can gain that awareness of the level of the game, he seems to have good instincts and should back himself and be a very handy player.

Aarts never stops and seems to arrive at the right spot at the right time. Not scared to put his body on the line when needed so well worth his place

 

[eZyT]

Hes a metricon great

Should be a bronze of him at gate 2

A perfect summation. His work rate when he got his goal last night was fantastic, he ran his opponent around, and was then Johnny on the spot, he'd be a bugger to play on.
