I know I'm repetitive, but I just think Battle is brave, honest, skilled, hardworking, extroverted, versatile AND has a great surname!
I've got a feeling the media will make a massive deal of the Captain Battle premiership era of Hawthorn while we're constantly consoling ourselves that there was nothing we could have done and that it was the only way to get that extra top 10 draft pick on the next Jack Billings or Jade Gresham.
Battle is incredibly underrated, partly because he doesn't play for a big vic club and also because he goes about his business without much fanfare. I don't envy the list management team because if we lose him and then don't nail the compo pick while he goes on to star for Hawthorn history won't look back on it kindly.
