Jake Batchelor

[Mr Magic]

Apparently his new nickname is - 'passenger' - a recent upgrade from his previous nickname of 'list clogger'

So you are saying he is on the improve.

 

[Stylo]

His disposal simply isn't good enough. I cringe every time he kicks the ball.

It's been good lately. Kind of like Conca, when he hits his kicks they're rippers.

The bad Batchelor was on the ground for the first half on Friday. Kicking was very bad.

cog in a wheel that's rolling along alright

Halved or won some crucial late contests. Played an important role in our back half without being outstanding. That's what he's there to do!

Agree very good last quarter from Jake.

 

[St Kevin]

Chaplin and Houli could learn a thing or two from him about getting the ball to a teammate's advantage.

Played on McCarthy, who had two touches.

Was at the game - Batch put a lot of "mental pressure" on the kid off the ball and it worked.

Wasn't sure who he was on. One of his better games, not particularly eye catching, but did what he had to and as you have pointed out kept his man quiet.

Been playing roles like today all year. Personally don't think he is beaten very often. Would love to see some stats in regards to opponents. Can butcher the ball but how many of us don't.

 

[Bill James]

Yep, if he and Grimes were getting 15disp pee game we would look different.

 

[spook]

Given we knew Rance would blanket Cameron, I thought McCarthy was the danger man today, and Batch slaughtered him.

Wow. Has had a good year McCarthy so that is telling.

 

[tigersnake]

He's an odd case JB, the hotter the game gets the better he gets

 

[Mr Brightside]

Stopped there 2nd key forward so did his job well

 

[Tigers of Old]

Although conditions didn't suit bigger players credit where it's due.

I saw some of that "mental pressure" in the goalsquare in front of the PRE!! Liked that.
