he sure did, milne did have a few shots but he was always going to, but they we all from low percentage spots cos morris just played him well... he is so important tous cos for yrs small fwds have destroyed us

Thought he gave his opponants too much freedom last night.

Agree with you Monk.  Was a bit loose on his opponent last night but still played fairly well and was very important with his run and link up in defence.  His delivery (surprising given the knock on him when he first arrived) was the best of our defenders last night.

I agree was a bit too loose last night but becoming a very important player

Still gave me a chub.

Difficult game for Stevie last night. Alot of smalls in the Saint forward line. Thought he did a fairly good job on Templeton the rat. Saad was much more damaging and Milera did some okay things for them.

Overall not one of his better games but still passable without question. Important link up player for us out of defence with pace. His disposal has been great too.

even last week he stood off rioli at times. he seemed to be guading space as much as the man, but in a way that forced rioli into less dangerous positions to attract the ball.

The thing i liked was his willingness to leave rioli to pressure the ball carrier, (or get to a contest to help out a team mate) even though it meant it left rioli free for an over the top. It would be easy to have just stayed with rioli and let the ball carrier run in for a shot at goal rather than have risk a goal being kicked by his own man.

Team orientated stuff

Thought he struggled last night. Batchelor found the going tough also.

Good observation. Makes a lot of sense

I thought Batch took some courageous marks and in tight in the last used his strength to get free and get the ball out. He did make some error and I would love him to start taking his marks with one grab rather than the little bobble before he marks it but I thought he was okay.

while i thought batch had a decent game i thought he fumbled a lot again. seems he has games where hes clean and one touch and other games where he just fumbles.
if i have a criticism of him its this lack of one touch  that regularly rears its head.

Agree with you here Claw, I think (hope) Batch is just going through the 2nd year blues adjusting to everything  around him (body, workload, pace, role, pressure etc) and that he will show good natural improvement in the near future.  That improvement might not be obvious until after another pre-season but I'm confident he will be a long term keeper for us.

Easily his worst game since being recruited

I thought he lost the plot today.

Going to ground miss judging the ball on countless occasions
