Maybe king shouldn’t. Battle was a favourite of mine. Now is just hanging on. Slow.Taller than Membrey, puts on another 4kg's would put him at N.Riewoldt's size & hard running then. Although he is J.Riewoldt's size at the minute. Hard gig in the forward line when you have King, Marshall & Membrey there. Battle is not quite quick enough for a H.F. role. Maybe King should play the wing role for now, haha, is agile enough.
If he’s Jack Riewoldt size what’s stopping him or what attributes is he lacking to be a power forward? Jack Riewoldt’s no Nick but he’s managed ok I think, 3 Coleman’s and 3 premierships as their key forward. Josh Battle should be more than capable of doing that for usI get that he is taller than Membrey but Membrey has always played taller than he is.
I just don't see him being that big contested forward, as a junior he was more of a Jack Gunston type that would find the footy by getting up and down the ground.
He's not quick but he is a very good endurance runner.

If Carlscum can beat them up there and then we most certainly can
We have to keep running, keep the ball moving and use that center corridor
Doogs will destroy Bing, Webster to brain Rankine and Battle to kick 3 just to shut some of you ferkers up
Go Saints!!
Zac Smith will be back this weekWe will have a big advantage in the ruck with Ryder and Marshall up against their makeshift ruckman but that won't be enough win the game if they beat us in other areas. Collingwood had a big advantage in the ruck too with Grundy but it didn't do them much good as they got beaten everywhere else.
If we play at our best or close to it we should win but they are never easy to beat at home so I'm expecting a much tougher contest than the one we got from Hawthorn.
Don't see the need for many changes other than perhaps Carlisle or Frawley replacing Joyce, he wasn't terrible but he isn't as good as those other two.
I would love to hear the coaches explain what they think we get out of Battle on a wing. He's literally had one good game there out of the entire time we've persisted with it. He is really struggling. Getting thrown around so much doesn't help him, but he doesn't look threatening as a forward either at the moment.
Age??? & he's been thrown around like a rag doll hahaIf he’s Jack Riewoldt size what’s stopping him or what attributes is he lacking to be a power forward?

Steele on Greenwood, Jones on Miller should be good to watchTickets booked. First time heading to Metricon.
Ryder should dominate, whether Smith plays or not. Going to need it against their midfield. Greenwood, Miller, Anderson etc are really solid.
Does anyone know, how Frawley went & pulled up.
Did Frawley produce anything deserving of selection today?
If not the only selection possible, you’d think, would be Dmac. Don’t mind this dilemma.
I’d go unchanged with Dmac the sub.
Highmore for Joyce maybeDid Frawley produce anything deserving of selection today?

Battle 71 TOG, Webster the only one who had fewer at 70 TOGHe played 90 minutes of footy. Not sure he wasn't needed is a good enough excuse. He needs to get his hands on the footy more, needs to take more marks.
No but heights pretty much the only thing you can’t teach. He can learn the restWell height isn't the only factor that determines what type of footballer you are.
Riewoldt has got a great leap to start with and is a natural deep forward.
He's nothing like Jack Riewoldt unfortunately.
Maybe more of a Jack Gunston type?
That’s why I’m not so quick to jump on him for not doing it yet. He’s got it in him, just needs the time and games backing him in. He’s got the potential that we can make him not just a third forward who takes defenders for Max King but a genuine threat and weapon of our own who’s kicking 40+ tooAge??? & he's been thrown around like a rag doll haha
