Definite omission for next week. Tweener. Not quick enough, not tall enough, not tough enough.

Nope. Think you'll see him back in if Houli isn't fit. Batchelor will be out.

Batch is out for the season IMO. Time to learn or leave as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe McGone could be back in defence?

Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

Weak. Just can't read the play.

Like a good percentage of the team only performs well when the group is dominating.
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

What I can't understand with Batchelor is what exactly did FJ see in him in the first place to warrant drafting him??

He is too short to play on key forwards, he is too slow to play on mid-small forwards and his skill level and decision making is iffy at best..

Surely we didn't just recruit him because he is a good intercept mark??

This is just another prime example of FJ butchering draft picks past the first round.. He's made a very nasty habit of this in my opinion..
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

Was shocking.

Trouble is yeah okay you bring in Astbury but he's even slower and was terrible last he played. Grimes injury worries are hurting with the lack of a reliable 3rd defensive tall option.
 
Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

What with all the punching attempts.
Gave them the first goal with one of the worst punches I've seen.
I thought he was good. His rubbish

When Grimes back 2016? Trade both of them
