The things Batchelor does off the ball goes unnoticed by most. For example N.Riewoldt lost Rance in traffic running torwards goal, Batch picks it up puts a block on Roo which allows Rance to catch up. Really liking the back 6 at the moment.

I personally don't think he has the pace but happy to be proved wrong that is why I see him as a danger medium forwardI think Batchelor could develop into Newman's role. Houli's? Probably not.
Houli runs about 16kms a game Newman about 8Pretty similar roles I would've thought?
Not sure its 16k( Gordon does this per game), but it is more than newy definitely.Houli runs about 16kms a game Newman about 8

I prefer Batch at the moment than Astbury...more dimentional player...and as far as trading him totally disagree takes time to develop key backs.. and Newman wont be around foreverLove Batch but he won't be down back once Astbury is fit. They need to be training him up as the third tall defensive forward in the pre season or trade him to upgrade our second or third pick. I believe he is the best judge of the flight of the ball at our club since Joel Bowden and could be a very dangerous forward that wacks in hard and kicks 1 or 2 a game plus works hard to lock it in when it goes to ground. Have always loved Batch and glad he's got his shot but he ain't gonna get a shot in the backline over Rance , Chappy , Grimes and Astbury so we better get trading or creative in the off season or he is going to spend another 2 years rotting in the VFL playing fullback at 190 cm's .
Those two aren't really competing. Astbury is a beast, takes the one on one gorilla forwards. Batch plays tall, but is never going to man up on a Travis Cloke or Kurt Tippet.I prefer Batch at the moment than Astbury...more dimentional player...and as far as trading him totally disagree takes time to develop key backs.. and Newman wont be around forever
Remember when we played Petterd at full back?
Sydney last year - he played on Jesse Whitehaha who was that against?

On midfielders I reckon grimes could play the 'tall tagger' role better than grigg. A bit more mongrel about him.Whilst i do like Grimes, I would trade him if a decent offer comes up and can promote Darrou
On Jake though i would love to see him actually being tried as an inside midfielder similiar to shane tuck type if it worked out and would allow us more depth and midfield rotations. corey enright does it well when thrown in there
Good idea but plenty of work needed on his tankOn midfielders I reckon grimes could play the 'tall tagger' role better than grigg. A bit more mongrel about him.
