If the swans can have Laidler in the best 22 , Spangher play in a grand final and a fit Dawson walks straight into Freos line up ,I reckon Batch is a big chance of getting a game with them
Because under the salary cap system it's impossible to afford twenty two superstars on your list. Even the best sides of the last couple of decades, Brisvegas, Cats, Dawks, n Sydaknee haven't come anywhere close to having twenty two superstars on their lists.Mr Magic said:
Can't believe anyone would even need to ask the question.
Yep why not just have Martin, Dangerfield, Cotchin, J Selwood, Ablett, Swan, Pendlebury, Kennedy, Cloke both Riewoldts, Bomtempelli, Wines, Rance, Frawley, Franklin, Mcveigh, Goodes, H.Taylor, etc etc etc until you get up your top quality twenty two for your match day list, then throw in a handful of spare replacements in case of injuries who will run around for free because there's not even chump change left after you underpay all of your top twenty two players so you can fit them into the ten mill salary cap.Mr Magic said:
We won't even bother to mention that there is also a player drafting system, that even if it was totally non corrupted by priority picks, free agency compo or concessions to new teams would still only ever allow you to pick one from every eighteen players available for list building.
Unbelievable that anyone who pretends to have any understanding of the AFL football system whatsoever would present the fairyland fantasy comments you've put up. Even followers of dream team n fantasy football competitions have restrictions n regulations on how you can build a pretend team.
There's only one pile of crap n it's dribbled straight off your finger tips.
;D Not sure if I'm in need of a holiday, beer or sex. Perhaps even all three in any order, damn moody old bastard this morning, maybe I should just get out the way for a little while n go wash my truck or dig a big hole in the back yard or something.Sintiger said:
We all need a good rant every now and again TM, good for the soul !!TigerMasochist said:
I agree with you FWIW. Amazing how the top team with 22 superstars just got their butt whipped by a team with a group of some players who wouldn't get a game there.
the old saying that a team is as good as the bottom 6 is a great truism. Get those players to play their role and it goes a long way and Batch is doing that right now.
Cant believe the argument about Jake Batchelor not being good enough while we have Matt Dea on our list for 6 years and going nowhere consuming a list spot

Don't expect rational debate on Batchelor with Mr Magic around. He's painted himself into a corner, and it's too far back now.
The same rants we get from him, are similar to the rants we used to see about Edwards and Rance. 62 games played and is fairly consistent now with is performance.
Still has scope for improvement, and I think we'll see it over the course of the next 2 seasons. Far from our worst when he's "on".
Sadly according to your keyboard warriorship standards there's only duds n the fantasy perception that Richmond must only have forty champion superstars on it's list.Mr Magic said:
In the real world of AFL footy there's elite, good, average n mediocre players of varying degrees available on every clubs list. Good clubs set supporting roles for their lesser talented players that make it easier for their good to elite players to perform to their capability or to negate a quality opponents capability.
Cheap n easy to big note your ability to differentiate between the capabilities of players while deriding both players n other posters for disagreeing with you.
Simple fact but I'd happily bet anyone could look at the details of the premiership list of any club since the game was invented n find players that would be classed as duds when compared directly against the elite players.
Pretty sure you wouldn't find too many posters pegging Batch as a good to elite player either, simply happy that a role player has matured n developed into an honest reliable support player.
If only I had half an idea how to do that Stylo I could have saved myself a heap of thinking n one finger typing time, brilliant post.

Your track record on this subject is not looking good. It's the bottom of the nineth and the pitcher is looking like he's gonna have a perfect game. Just keep swinging away and aim for the fence, surely you'll connect with more than a foul ball at some point.
Thankfully the match committee and recruiting staff don't have your polarised view point else we may not see more than half a dozen players on the park.
