Hopefully he'll improve enough to be handy back up if Broad gets injured.

Only played a half, looked pathetic....

 :clapping :clapping

Is not the way forward, with him and Morris in the same team its a recipe for disaster.

Many showed him up last night. This will happen all year.

Didn't look like he should play at that level.

Bachelor is embarrassing himself and all of us!!!! Even the commentators said it, then he was dragged for the rest of the game.

What's with the hate for Batch anyway?  Seems a bit strong for simply thinking he's not in the best 22

Batch tries his best and is usually a solid contributor. 

The guys that pee me off most are the ones that keep on making stupid decisions. Conca for example with weight issues, punching guys in the back of the head. On top of that he turns the ball over.

Then there's Chaplin who does stupid things like trying to get around Nahas in the final.

at least Batch is disciplined and goes about his work in the right way. He might not always have a good game but he's honest.

He wasnt '"dragged" he was like a number of them last only ever going to play half a game

He didnt play well not disputing that (btw Vlastuin had About the same number off possessions but no comments on him) but you suggested he got didn't play the 2nd half because of the way he played and that is simply not true

Tnat was my point.

Batchelor is not nearly close to good enough for AFL. He inevitably has one or more disastrous turnovers per game in situations that are unpressured. He is too small for his position and not quick enough for his size. He is a substantial liability and we will never be any good with decision makers like him and Conca in the side.

Would have been OK with half a game rather than a non game
