Yeah but weāre definitely getting Sam Taylor and Hugh McCluggage. You heard it here first.From Battle and Smith being all but done to Battle staying and Smith going to Geelong. What a ride.
117 days until trade periodā¦From Battle and Smith being all but done to Battle staying and Smith going to Geelong. What a ride.
Weāre getting Will Phillips, arenāt we??
Because not every poster is just a somebody.How can somebody just walk in here and say weāre not getting x or y and we automatically believe them lol
Exactly. Know a few members of Battle's family and as of last weekend it looked like he was coming to us at the end of the yearHow can somebody just walk in here and say weāre not getting x or y and we automatically believe them lol
Gibbo, Hale, Henderson, Mass, Chol, Ginni etc etc werenāt studs either.I wouldn't be calling Battle a world beater but I definitely wouldnt be calling him a B/C grade defender lol
if we compare him to Sicily
- Battle has 2.3 defensive 1v1 contests a game compared to Sicily having 1.6 (this is when a player and opponent directly have the contest not packs or anything like that, they are in isolation)
- in the 2.3 contests Battle has a 23.3% loss rate so on the other side of the coin he at worst breaks even at 76.7% compared to Sicily 27.8% loss rate on his 1.6 contests
- Battle out tackles Sicily 1.4 to 1.3
- Sicily pips him in Pressure Acts 8.8 to 7.5
- Battle has more spoils 3.8 to 3.4
- its even at 2.6 intercept marks
When you add to that the fact you wont need to trade anything to get him just use cap space and it adds value. He is also only 26 heading into next year so he meets the age criteria.
He has played at both ends and has played on the wing too so his flexibility helps Sam with his magnets
I am in the camp of okay why not? I see what some are saying with well he isnt a stud but if you say no to everyone along the way and dont get the stud whats the point of that? Just end up with Jerry Seinfeld's love life
Pies 2nd youād think would get it doneMax Gruzewski debuts for GWS this weekend.
I hope we are all over this kid - behind Cadman and Hogan.
No limit to this kids upside IMHO.
Just needs to kick a bit straighter, but has the size, speed, acceleration and footy smarts to have a bright future.
GWS will be squeezed for $$$ as well you'd think if they hang onto Perryman.
Him and Mac Andrew would both be 10 yr KPP.
I hope we at least ask both the question.
more important questionPies 2nd youād think would get it done
Weāre we into him in his draft year anyone know?
Genuine question - how do you propose we get Mac both from a cost and opportunity perspective?Max Gruzewski debuts for GWS this weekend.

My aunt's friend's brother's cousin told me battle might go to hawthorn or he might not . Says he knows a guy who knows a guy who lives next door.
I'm not directly attacking any valuable itks I'm just mentioning how easy it is for people to make stuff up. It went from battle is coming to hawthorn, to he's staying at st kilda, to he's coming to hawthorn in the span of a week.There are some people who do get info here - sometimes things change and after they've stuck their necks out for our viewing pleasure people then come for the knees because they weirdly take glee in being the 'haha you were wrong!' person on here. We have had some posters who have departed and some who no longer post the tidbits that come their way because of this. So be a dick to the ITK posters all you like - but these threads will be all the poorer for it.
It's not so black and white. Players change their mind as the season goes on, as such, people hear different things at different times. They are only reporting what they hear.I'm not directly attacking any valuable itks I'm just mentioning how easy it is for people to make stuff up.

The Tassie Devils are closer to success than the Saints and they are not even in the comp yet.I feel we are closer to success than the saints.
Someone mentioned the other week in the BHH game day thread that he grew up just outside of Box Hill. Gruzewski that is.more important question
did he support the Hawks as a kid?
