Re: Josh Battle got his Rising star gong.
Possibly a cumulative nomination due to his overall season performance
One year will be our year

Took their time picking a guy that often looks like he’s already played 150 games.

It’s a shame Coffield was injured as he must have been getting close

I think they forgot him - lol - and it was only some questions on SEN etc that reminded them he was eligible!prwilkinson wrote: ↑Mon 19 Aug 2019 7:08pm Took their time picking a guy that often looks like he’s already played 150 games.
I jest - but it seems that way!

Re: Josh Battle got his Rising star gong.
It's strange how he's been a forward, but was taught to be a defender due to loss of Robbo,
and he has really blossomed.
Richo hasn't really been a good developer of young talent, even though he's touted as such;
I think Battle's just one of those special players.
Matthew Lloyd coaching him at Haileybury has really given him an amazing grounding, IMHO
and he has really blossomed.

Re: Josh Battle got his Rising star gong.
Beast of a tank too. The kid can seriously play. In a top side in premiership contention he will become such an asset. Play him forward, back, wing wherever depending on match ups. He’s going to just keep getting better and better. Let’s hope St Kilda’s list continues to grow with him.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Mon 19 Aug 2019 7:46pm It's strange how he's been a forward, but was taught to be a defender due to loss of Robbo,

Re: Josh Battle got his Rising star gong.
About time. Will be a really good player.
What pick did we use on him 33ish?
Seem to remember he slid down to us.
Good bargain.

Re: Josh Battle got his Rising star gong.
Yeah, bottom age bargain. Probably would have gone a fair bit higher had he spent another year playing unders.

Re: Josh Battle got his Rising star gong.
Nope - 3 games too many last year - but also 2 years too old.
