Jake Batchelor

[22nd Man]

Seems to be on a never ending plateu. And not at high enough altitude.
I know it's only appearances but he looks very unathletic. Sort of build you see in suburban footballers when skinfolds countless than skills and strength.

 

[Tenacious]

Two noticeable improvements tonight - a much better game and a much much better haircut!

 

[TigerForce]

Two noticeable improvements tonight - a much better game and a much much better haircut!

All to do with aerodynamics. ;D

 

[tassiedave]

Much better performance tonight.....

 

[MB78]

Two noticeable improvements tonight - a much better game and a much much better haircut!

Very good call.

 

[btoz_01]

Rock in defence the Single Guy should get lucky after that performance 8-

 

[Tenacious]

All to do with aerodynamics. ;D

That's right. And a better result than that Samson bloke who played an absolute shocker the week following his haircut.

 

[Stylo]

Thought he was excellent tonight. 20 touches, 5 marks and a goal to complement a strong defensive game.

 

[Carter]

Another with best game in years.

Real solid.

The best thing? Took extra care by foot.

If his DE stays reasonable he is a very good player.

 

[Tigerfan]

Yeah batch has written his name on the team sheet, and good on him.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Well done Batchelor. Fine game.

 

[Letsroar]

Have been critical of his disposal all year. Much better tonight. Hope he keeps improving

 

[jimbob]

was good - well done Jake

 

[Razorgang2]

Yeah thought his game was great, took a couple of courageous marks also.

 

[spook]

The haircut maketh the man. If you can't play like a footballer at least look like one. He did both today.

As with KMac, he gives us physicality and *smile* we've been short of for too long.

 

[Ian4]

Spook stole my thunder... He actually looks like a footballer with that haircut

 

[year of the tiger]

played his part well in a defence that was severely under pressure tonight - has he made it (dam close if he hasn't)

He give us good physicality and is normally a solid player

 

[mrposhman]

Much better game from him today. Liked what I saw. Want to see more of that Batchelor.

 

[The_General]

Underrated defender. Gets far too much criticism vs what he adds. Plays his role well. I like him.

Will get better.

 

[scottyturnerscurse]

With Bachar having a shocker, he chose a good time to have his best game for the year. Well done, Jake.
