Ryan Batchelder

@DanielCherny @codesportsau This better not mean the end of Simpsons related content!

As of Wednesday, I start with @codesportsau. It is very exciting to be part of something new and we hope to provide a fresh and insightful offering to readers. Lastly, in whichever form you consume it, please continue to support journalism. 👊✍️

Time to announce that after almost eight years, I am finishing up with @theage. It has been a privilege and I will be forever grateful to have lived out a childhood dream while working with so many wonderful, talented and committed people. (1/2)

@scott_tutton @NRG51628 @reeeens15 @SarahCarpinteri @aaron_wharton @DarrenAndo It’s not hard is it!? I’ll have to find the diagrams I drew when trying to explain it to Hog

@NRG51628 @ryanbatchy @reeeens15 @SarahCarpinteri @aaron_wharton @DarrenAndo If you can afford the car, you can afford the lessons to learn how to drive and park it properly.

@ryanbatchy you writing for the Daily Mail now Bristle? @reeeens15 @SarahCarpinteri @aaron_wharton @DarrenAndo @scott_tutton

@rohan_connolly It’s a Melbourne Cup field. She needs to be a bit more creative than simply whinging about everything Dan Andrews does and suggesting we should be doing the opposite. At least Creighton & Panahi put some effort into their horrific hot takes.

I'm blocked (hence no tag) but can say categorically Sophie Elsworth is THE biggest hack in News Corp's stable of headkickers (big call, obviously). Can't argue a point coherently, no original ideas, writes like a 6th-grader & thick as two planks. That's a sort of status, I guess

Literally every person I know in Vic is looking to relocate to a different state as soon as borders reopen. They’re terrified they’ll be in lockdown again if there’s another wave - which is in no way out of the question. A mass exodus would have huge ramifications on other states

@Emob26 @aaron_wharton @monty64 @NRG51628 @JPMcCurry @ptrotts @andy_waz01 There weren’t many EB3 games over that 2 year stretch that weren’t marred by controversy. We’ll need to go over them again at some stage soon #hogtrick

@aaron_wharton @monty64 @NRG51628 @ryanbatchy @JPMcCurry @ptrotts @andy_waz01 YES. Anything to get out of square leg duty

To my twitter followers, @JPMcCurry and I have been working on a little side project to bring the passionate leaders of D&I in sport together. We expect to launch in the next couple of weeks and welcome your interest and feedback.....stay tuned for more info #strongertogether 👊

@aaron_wharton @NRG51628 Does @JPMcCurry know the legend of the spoonbill? #EB3 #hoglyf

@NRG51628 @JPMcCurry @ryanbatchy That is a seperate project with a much higher calling 🦅😂

@Adam_Creighton @JaneCaro @ABC Given you only care about yourself now, what makes you think that will change when you’re 80?

@JaneCaro @ABC Unlike you, when I'm old I will never selfishly and pathetically demand by fiat the destruction of millions of livelihoods and a great recession so I might marginally increase my own chance of living a year or two longer in my 80s. You should be ashamed.

Perhaps Turkey had the most sensible responsible to Covid-19, locking down over 65s in line with the evidence they were most at risk. Death rate 1/6 that of US. abcn.ws/3fX8DHT via @ABC

@John_Hayes13 Love your work Purple. Good luck in your next venture!

After being made redundant recently I have taken some time to reflect upon what #cricket means to me. My family have encouraged me to share my #thankyou letter to the game...

@mickdel89 oh Margaret. Her quotes made my brain hurt. How ridiculous is it that this isn't satire!

@mirandadevine The top photo was taken in May 2018. Are you actually ok with using factually incorrect memes to support your agenda? Unbelievably irresponsible.

@wutube @plalor It’s amazing the amount of people that state it’s not about racism then go ahead and specifically list reasons why it is. How have they not worked it out? Who is talking to these people?

This person says booing of Adam Goodes was nothing to do with racism, then says he was booed because of his take on issues of race. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sadly, it’s not an uncommon view - still

@NRG51628 @scott_tutton @DarrenAndo In their defence, they aren’t costing anyone else a park

@scott_tutton @ryanbatchy @DarrenAndo

@ryanbatchy @DarrenAndo @NRG51628 thoughts?

@NRG51628 @TitusOReily At least we both get a road trip to sunny Hobart!!

@TitusOReily Tough times Bristle @ryanbatchy

Unless they play finals, the Kangaroos have played their last game at the MCG this year. I'm a bit worried the same applies to the Demons.

@NRG51628 🌵 Brad

@ryanbatchy classic Scotty

@NRG51628 Flat about it. We were going ok too!

@ryanbatchy can’t take a trick bristle

@aaron_wharton @AFL Ready for round one the early leader

@AFL @ryanbatchy

We love a good cliché… 💁

@mickdel89 Do the Hawk make 3/4 ones? They wouldn’t look flash

@NRG51628 @aaron_wharton Driving there might be ok, driving home would be tough!

@ryanbatchy you must do it Bristle @aaron_wharton

@mickdel89 Yes: 1. Everyone's opinion on tribunal decisions 2. Everyone's opinion on the score review system

@mickdel89 I’ve seen it. How infuriating! It’s unbelievable that people still can’t see it and think they actually know what they’re talking about. I don’t know what else we can do 🤷‍♂️
