Re: Pick 30 Jake Batchelor

Impressively strong and quick, and a strong defender. Provides good run and can lock down on opponents before neatly disposing of the ball with his left foot. Played for the Dandenong Stingrays.

Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

looks like a good defensive mark, reads the flight of the ball well. likes to run and link up as well.

We could have had Luke Parker at this pick. Hope we don't regret this. Love Parker, reckon he will be a star.

like it.

Saw the highlights of him probably a month ago and was very impressed. However nobody really talked about him and no-one had him high in the phantom drafts so I forgot about him.

Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor

His highlights look good. Nice left foot and seems very balanced.

But I can't say I'm not disappointed that, with all the mids we picked, we didn't pick a tall KPP with pick 30. Both McCarthy and Mitchell were highly rated, both were available, and both went to *smile* scum Carlton.

Given the state of our KPP stocks, particularly in defence, why the hell wouldn't we have picked either of these two?

:hihi :hihi I must admit the Miller angle did cross my mind. Am really staggered we didn't get McCarthy or Mitchell with this pick.

Bloody flankers!!! Is Wallace back coaching? Surprised we didn't recontract McMuffin :p
