Analysis 2021 trade thread

[GOTHELIONS16]

Battle is a defender right if our defence is at full strength where does he fit?

View him as a utility. He can play Key position either end and has played on the wing as well.

 

[T Rick]

Haven’t heard it myself but would be a really interesting get if it were possible, definitely has the talent and versatility that would suit us.

Where would he play - 3rd forward tall/ruck?

 

[mattsmob]

Not sure how we could afford him but Battle would go ahead of a few of our half backs for me. Assuming 4 small/hybrid defenders I’d be going with Rich, Starce, Coleman and Battle. This move could potentially help a Starce to the mids as well.

Where would he play - 3rd forward tall/ruck?

I few him similar to Ah Chee, could play on either flank and on the wing however he’s a bit bigger and was put into key positions for St Kilda at times. I always thought he was a pretty good player with a mix of good skills on both sides, a nice mark and a good mover for his size but he seemed to be on the outer at the Saints.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

He mentioned Coleman pacifically as Birchall replacement on B&F night after Birchall’s retirement speech

Yeah, there's a difference between a promise and encouraging a young player to grab an opportunity.

Remember him in his draft year at TAC Cup level. Nice type of player who I think hasn't yet reached his potential. But what dosh would he be on?

 

[Nuggo]

Battle does seem to be straying away from the perceived requirement of help in the Ruck.

 

[Son of Superboot]

I can recall during the 2019 trade period that there was talk of Celgar, especially with the Fagan-Hawks link, but then he re-signed for 3 yrs. Where does he sit now against the likes of Cox and Casboult?

Much better ruck, much better person but offers less forward

Much better person? How do you know this?

Isn't a confirmed anti-vaxxer!

 

[scoman]

And that makes Ceglar, who we assume is pro vax a much better person?

 

[Tom14]

I have no idea if Ceglar is pro-vax or not, but if he isn't anti-vax then yes I will say he is a better person.

More like a sheep. Just like the rest of you pro vaxers.

Covid talk on a trade page…. Yawn!!!

Does Brander specifically want to return to Victoria, or would he be a good younger option for us?

As a key forward/ruck?

What a world we live in. I guess that makes some of the people close to me shit humans? Simple as Vax or no Vax. Good person v shit person.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

What a world we live in. Are you religious?

He's a Bigfooty disciple, of course he's religious silly.

 

[BangyBangy]

People close to me are Doggies supporters. They're shit humans. I avoid them as much as possible.

My philosophy has become that we all are in our own way. Be that the church, sport, social justice, veganism, fitness. We all fill that void somehow. And we certainly aren't free of judgement of others, be that raising our eyebrows at the sinners or doing likewise to those we don't agree with.

 

[Flea_29]

anyone hearing chatter about Battle from the saints link to us ?

Yes I have and I think a third rounder was going to do it - however, I also heard that the Suns were also into him, hence why they're trying to find cap space and a list spot.

And ftr I haven't met a vegan cross-fitter that I could tolerate yet either.

 

[BrisVegasDru]

And that makes Ceglar, who we assume is pro vax a much better person?

in my book it certainly does.

Yes

 

[briztoon]

Battle was a slightly (~192cm) undersized KPF in the TAC cup, hadn’t finished school when drafted, and did year 12 in his first year at St Kilda.

Was moved to defence when St Kilda drafted the other King.

Can’t say I’ve ever really noticed him at AFL level.
