How? In what way? He has never played a game??Jonesracing82 said:according to the Prospectus, statistically he has Batch covered....
diff league i know but his WAFL stats are supperior to Batch at AFL level in most catagoriesPlatinum member said:How? In what way? He has never played a game??
Batch's stats in the WAFL would also be superior to batch's stats in the AFL... Only thing is batch has been too good to play wafl in 2015.Jonesracing82 said:diff league i know but his WAFL stats are supperior to Batch at AFL level in most catagories
those stats would be handy, would be able to compare them both at WAFL levelPlatinum member said:Batch's stats in the WAFL would also be superior to batch's stats in the AFL... Only thing is batch has been too good to play wafl in 2015.
CarnTheTiges said:From the little that we've seen, could he take the 3rd tall? Something that Batchelor has never been able to do effectively. Would Broad have shut down Waite better than Batch in the EF last year? If he can do that then Batchelor's days are numbered.
Batch was good in 2015 but he is probably the most vulnerable. Where Grimes has it over him is that he has the pace and is good enough on the ground to take smalls and talls and therefore offers us great flexibility. Batch is a very good intercept mark however.Brodders17 said:i would like to see Batch replaced as the 3rd tall, perhaps by a Broad/Grimes combo.
but for most of the year Batch played on talls, as he has done for the last couple of years, and did his job. it is not correct to say he has never played that role effectively.

The only way Astbury comes in is as a replacement for Rance or Chaplin imo. He is not a like for like replacement for Batcheloryear of the tiger said:I reckon Astbury is first in the queue to come into defence before Broad

A fit *smile* added to rance and chappy(if he was capable of playing man on man) agin nths side show boob, Peetree n waite a minute he has slaughtered us again! makes sense.
Nup, disagree. Need a proper tall on Waite. Chappy should have switched on to him. Batch could have handled Sideshow Ben.mrposhman said:I disagree. Waite didn't smash Batchelor because of his height, it was due to the speed on the lead. Batchelor didn't have the speed or the footy nous to realise where he was leading to until he was gone. A quicker or smarter player (either Grimes if we can find someone else for the smalls, or Broad) would probably counter thaat. I'm not sure Astbury would have been any better on Waite personally. Grimes was the matchup but we couldn't move him as Batchelor would have been destroyed by their smalls too.
