Re: Josh Battle dropped
I don't think so. Billings is a much better player than Battle.Goose is king wrote: ↑Sun 04 Jul 2021 9:16pm Should come in for Billing’s really. Billing’s is costing himself dollars every time he plays at the moment

Re: Josh Battle dropped
For a starters
One is 184cm 78kg and the other 193cm 92kg
So they are very different player types
Billings averages around 21 disposals 0.7 goals 2.8 tackles 0.7 goal assists and has polled 30 Brownlow Votes
Battle around 12.5 disposals 0.5 goals 2.5 tackles 0.15 goal assists
Yet to poll a Brownlow Vote
My thoughts are this
Billings is better than Battle, by the length of the Flemington Straight

Re: Josh Battle dropped
And the other side of the coin is that Wood has been very decent.
That is 60% of the reason Battle doesn’t get back in.
Highmore decent too.
Battle joins, Butler, Billings, Ross, Kent, Long, Lonie, Clark, as players who have fallen away this season.

Re: Josh Battle dropped
Yes, Wood has been handy
Highmore very good, and has tidied up his disposal. Early games may have been nerves.

Re: Josh Battle dropped
Isn’t kicking one of Battle’s strengths?
If poor kicking was a selection priority
There’d be half a dozen butchers omitted
