Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

Jake is going very nicely always makes the right decisions and is very damaging. Glad I used my 600th post on him he deserved it.
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

Very impressive- beginning to be more composed across half back and makes great decisions- great pick up. He and Conca have been real finds

His best game so far. Frees up Lids which is a huge plus.

Don't mean to brag but on the day of the draft..

Is he the bloke that's going to release Lids back to the midfield?

And it was really good to see him back himself in a few times and engage in creative plays.
Same with with Grimes - and Conca for that matter. You can see that their confidence is up and their priority is not just to win a defensive situation.

Reminds me of Joel Bowden.

High praise. I'm amazed by how well he is doing so early in his career (and as Tencious says he has a few first year mates going as well or better). I wonder where this stops because he is getting more of the footy each week.
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

Super impressive tonight, I also liked the fact he held his ground when McPhee began delivering a few cheapshots.
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

I never get nervous when he has the ball in hands, just know he will make the right choice.

Wait until he gets a few more preseasons under his belt, he will be a ripper.
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

Great game from Jake. Just when I thought he was starting to lose his way a little and might need a spell at Coburg.

Well done to him, fought for and will now retain his place in the side for a few games yet.
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor


Reminds me of Tape and Rogers. Not much polish but fir real and a massive and precocious competitor. Will play 100+ games with below average improvement.

If he can tidy up he could be somebody special. Just a lad.

Agree.

IMHO he is simply a solid 200 gamer

I agree - the sort of player we haven't had and that success is built on. Reilable, dependable
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

you can just see that this kid has got it. makes good decisions under pressure, a good kick, composed and is pretty big and strong for an 18 year old. Remember the calls when we picked him with our second pick - "who the *smile* is batchelor?"
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

make no mistake this kid will be a star
