Really liked his game. Tough, doesn't try to do too much. Early days but we might have unearthed a good one. Might prove a great draft pick at 47.
 
Was alright. Has all the tools, and a great attack on the contest.

Probably should go back to the VFL now he's had a taste, though.
 
Why? He seems to have an appetite for the contest. Who is knocking the door down to take his spot after only two games?

I liked his game probably more this week than last. Still has a way to go like you've said Strawbs but at pick 47, he's a good pickup!

Like the mongrel too. ;)
 
Yer he has very good attack on the contest. Definatly deserves to play next week, but at this stage I would prefer Nason to him.

I think Batchelor is going to be a real gun for us. I reckon he will play 200 games for the club.

Conca got a pasting tonight, should be played as the sub next week in the midfield rather then back pocket. Still did some good things

Batchelor and Helbig showed great signs.
Conca got murdered, but was left on Milne to learn the caper. If he has a good head on his shoulders like we are led to believe,then it will do himmore good than harm in the long run.

Good points. On Conca, I thought Tom Harley was right in saying he looked a lot more comfortable up the ground. Huge ask playing deep defense on the best small forward in the comp. Love his attack.

Preferably develop him at half back rather then back pocket.

Helbig looks good. Still very small but has all the tools to be a good player. I'd persist with him for a few more weeks until the inevitable fatigue kicks in.

He is an upgrade on Nason and needs to be given the time at the senior level so he can improve his game accordingly. He has a great kick.

Agreed on Conca he should get his run in the midfield as i think Batchelor looks the more capable defender. Would be good to give them each a go as sub just to give them an extra rest so they can hopefully play the first 4-6 games.

Really like him, keep him in the forward 50 with Kingy and then we have some forward line pressure to help Jack when it hits the gorund

As for Conca, Sub him next week and give him a run on the wing or in the guts

Batch, god i love his ferocity, anyone else see his hit on Dal Santo in the last qtr, it was better than a tackle

All 3 should play throughout the season or until there form drops off

Yeah... I'm not an advocate of the 'now they have a taste of it, send em back to Coburg to develop' theory...

If form warrants it play them all year I say and at the moment, I would leave all 3 draftees in.

Helbig has really surprised me, I simply love his attack on the man and the footy. :thumbsu:

All three have been super impressive but I'm most shakiness with Helbig. Had my routs about him but by jove the kid is all class! Boots the ball a mile and just looks good when he has it!
 
All 3 give the indications they are not out of place at this level. As you would expect they are learning. But to see what they've shown in just 2 games is just great!! And looks great for the future of the RFC. GO TIGES!!
 
conca, batchelor and helbig will all be long term players for our footy club, conca i thought showed great composure and didnt go into his shell when milne was giving him the run around. he isnt a defender, he is a midfielder, its all about educating the players and getting him ready to play in the midfield IMO.

but geez, conca shows a great footy brain, good skills and isnt overawed, works hard too.

helbig is exactly the type of player hardwick would love, and he is actually a pretty good kick so once he settles down i think we will see him be a lot more effective with his disposal.

Could of played anyone on Milne would not of mattered as he usually kills us. Having him on the little prick all night would teach him a thing or 2
