And I am starting to have some reservations about Batchelor - he made a hell of a lot of mistakes again today and will need to improve sharply to be an asset come Round 1.
Agree with Smoke. Batchelor was terrible today as well. Having Morris and Batchelor down back in this type of form is a real worry. Carltons small forwards are going to do us over big time if Morris and Batchelor dont improve in a hurry.
Batchelor is a terrible decision maker and a lazy kick. NOT IN BEST 22! Houli, Ellis and even Vlastuin are ahead of him on that Half Back Flank.
Thought Deledio was very clean and dangerous. Everything he touched was effective.
Cotchin did some uncharacteristic mistakes, however when the match was there to be won in the last three minutes, who was that player that put his head over the football and cop a knock? Trent Cotchin.
Chaplin was good and when Grimes comes back in our three tall defenders will be very good.
Matthew White was good and needs to keep using his speed.
Newman played well, though we need an actual "half forward" kicking three goals.
Maric looked slow for some reason and Martin wasn't his attacking self. Was Martin playing defensive wing or half back?
Houli good!
