Will play 200 games.

hes not a poor player but hes nothing special either.  if we took him at pick 40 i reckon most people would be happy.

While I get the sentiment, you really over estimate the draft. Conca would be a decent pick at 20 let alone 40

wasnt talking about just that draft. and pick 40 was a generalisation if i had said
in any yr if we had picked him up with a  2nd rounder or early  3 rnd pick most people would say yep decent pick we have hopefully found a solid player. ths is where we should be finding players with concas attributes so many similar type mids are taken by other clubs here but top 10 ffs.


the trouble is i dont see one outstanding attribute that will enable him to become a worthy top 10 pick. hes okay in a lot of things and poor in a few others. this is what i meant by vanilla.

a lot of people were saying similar things at the time of the draft. that is why he was was rated late first rounder at best by most. it really has panned out that way as well.
but hey francis had watched him and really liked his attitude such a nice young bloke. ppppffffttt.

[Gigantor]

If I remember correctly most pundits had him going at about pick 15 but we obviously saw it differently.
I guess there was a reason most had him at about pick 15 and not top 10

The one thing that concerned me at the time was after the draft when FJ said we had seen him play 'live' every game. FJ likes to keep his team small. (3 recruiters at the time, not sure how many scouts) How can a small team focus so hard on one player? No wonder we ended up with complete spuds in the other rounds. They were just stabs in the dark. It really makes sense now how someone can take Batch over Parker when they played for the same team. Didn't go to the games obviously.

Too be fair,  Batchelor did look an astute pick up at first, but I said at the time they were trying to be too clever and ended up being too clever by half. Remember their smugness after it , carrying on like they'd outsmarted everyone and scooped the pool. Remember people laughing at Essendon because we took Helbig from under their noses. Hilarious.

Batchelor looked good early. So do a lot of our kids until they realise being an RFC player means you can bludge and get paid and no one really gives a stuff. How many of our players look best in their first couple of games.

Parker had top 10 pick written all over him. Won a B&F as a 17yo over the previous years no.1 pick in Scully. The only problem with doing that was everyone over-analyses every time you fart. Missed a huge opportunity.
