Interested in some sound, constructive reasoning for either player, not just who you have in your team.
Thanks.

Pittard better job security and higher scoring potenital

HappyDEZ

jasper, with better JS should score more and he will hopefully take the kick-ins. whereas heath seems

to be more of a dour defender/stopper

Ports backline coach, Matthew Nicks, has written this rundown on their defenders:

#3. Campbell Heath
Campbell comes to us from Sydney, I guess he was a bit unfortunate in that he couldn’t break into their side with that really good back six they have. He brings some fantastic knowledge of the game as well as organisation and leadership skills to our back six. He has fit in really well alongside Jackson Trengove, Bobby Carlile and Tom Jonas. I think he’s going to help us in terms of compensating for our loss of experience down back having played alongside some of the most experienced players in the competition at the Swans. I also think we’ll see him take the kick-ins more often than not â€" that’s a credit to his beautiful left foot kicking skills.

#29. Jasper Pittard
After last year’s disappointment with injury it’s been great to see Jasper getting back and doing everything possible to get into the team. His best game of the pre-season was definitely against Sydney two Sundays ago where he had 25 possessions â€" that’s what we expect from him. He’s a ‘wild’ footballer, a little adventurous and that’s what we love to see from him. We’ve worked a lot on his defensive side and ways for him to get the footy more. He plays his best footy when he’s got a job to do and he’ll certainly have a few of those this year.

From that write-up alone, I am looking at Heath having the better job security! Good that they are both on the ground tomorrow though so we can assess their worth.

Jasper before Heath all day every day his whole career, only got Heath because of others missing, Heath is the stopper back there, Jasper the half back

They'll probably both have good js but Jasper is better and score higher
