Please 2 - 4 goals battle just be honest for a change heās a good player nothing more. He also plays a position we have cover for so thatās just crap imo.
Youāve been hyper critical of Lyon amongst other things and Iām sorry it just doesnāt line up with whatās actually happening.
That's no different from you having an opinion. He's probably going to make us a weaker defensive in the short term and probably do leak more goals.
Battle is better than a GOP or sides wouldn't be offering him big money. There are only a handful of good interceptors in the AFL and guys like Lever and Stewart are some of the most important in the AFL. If we went out to replace him we'd be paying more.
We might have one with Schoenmaker already but he's played a few games and there is probably 2 to 3 years before he's at the same output even if he works out as good or better.
Also setting our selves up to have a big drop off when the older crew retire with a huge age gap between Battle and the large youth group.
Lyon has taken us backwards and should be criticised. If he makes Sunday the norm we'll all be praising him. Especially if he can bring on the kids with no step backwards. If he is here to improve our list, standards and backroom and he doesn't do what he's employed to do he should be held to account like any employee.
