Was reported by Jon Ralph he was about to sign the extension but there hasn't been an official announcement yet.I thought Battle signed a 6 year deal, was that just a rumour?
Wonder where he is this weekend. Not in the VIC Country squad, while Cole and Hoffman are in Metros. Maybe he is simply not at that level, unless he’s injured. But missing the squad means you’re a way back given the number of injuries as well as the very best are out due to the AFL Academy game.On F/S watch; Peckett had his best game of the season on the weekend with 25 disposals (equal 2nd highest for the Stingrays), 6 marks 6 inside 50s and 4 tackles.
We could finally have a decent one here.
He's a restricted free agent this year.
No doubt his agent will want to see what that brings to the table.
Closing in on a 5 year dealWe need to get Battle signed up ASAP. Guy is fast becoming elite, any word on his contract?
Players can come from the clouds in their 18th year..look at Owens, only got a late call up for Vic metro & got 29 possessions!Wonder where he is this weekend.

Oliver & Bontempelli also casing points in their draft years
Sounds like he's started this year better than anyone expected him too. Hopefully he can push into the squad by the end of the season.Wonder where he is this weekend.

I think he is running around for bonbeach with his old man and Sammy Gilbert.Wonder where he is this weekend. Not in the VIC Country squad, while Cole and Hoffman are in Metros.

He's actually a UFA which is mildly concerning...
According to the official AFL list - he's unrestrictedI've seen him listed as RFA twice now, i did raise an eyebrow in surprise.
They could be wrong.
AFL Free Agents 2024: Every player off-contract at the end of the season | Sporting News Australia
As always, there will be plenty of interest in which players are off-contract at the end of the 2024 AFL season. We've got every club's free agents below, as well as players whose deals run out at the end of this year but don't qualify for free agency.www.sportingnews.com
On that note. Busslinger is still unsigned at the dogs. Might be worth a crackI think expectations are too high for Phillipou at the moment, he’s expected to perform week in week out like he did in the early part of last season. Most notably the game against the Dogs.
Looking at the list of top 20 or so picks from the 2022 draft, he clearly sits in the top 5 players probably alongside Ashcroft, Sheezel, Fletcher and Wardlaw.
They’re all still finding their way, and he’s just so raw and young there’s plenty to be excited about.
Not immune to criticism but just remember he was a few days from being picked in last years draft. We’ve still seen nothing from Tsatas, Mckenzie, Clark, Hewett, Busslinger, but I imagine they’ll all make it at some point. View attachment 1960908
He's just got a case of 2nd year blues as he transitions into more midfield time.Not saying he's staying or leaving, but for his own benefit, Phillipou needs to have a bit more of an impact in games.
(And before anyone says he's young - yeah I know but he's out of contract and his performances over the next 6 to 10 weeks will have a big impact on his new contract terms irrespective of where he ends up.)
We’re a bit light on for small forwards..One boy causing a stir down here, Ricky Mentha.
Taking to a couple of lads, the reckon he has a real Shai Bolton feel about him. Small forward that kicks goals from anywhere and can run through the midfield. Been a jet at gippy power and recent played in the aus u/18 vs Coburg game and kicked a blinder apparently
We did just draft a gun oneWe’re a bit light on for small forwards..
Yes but it’ll be a challenge keeping himWe did just draft a gun one
Cross that bridge when or if it comes aroundYes but it’ll be a challenge keeping him
Nah, we'll do our best to re-sign Battle no matter what happens with Arie. One of our most important games and can't underestimate the impact he has and expect a kid to come close to replicating it in the medium termSchoers trajectory will determine our next move on Battle.
Almost AA level this year?Nah, we'll do our best to re-sign Battle no matter what happens with Arie. One of our most important games and can't underestimate the impact he has and expect a kid to come close to replicating it in the medium term

If he keeps it up, should be AA40 worthy. AA22 is a big call especially since he's competing with AA love-child Tom StewartAlmost AA level this year?
