Yep they probably will but at least his family won't have to fly across the country to watch him get splinters so there is that positive.

Miller to second ruck to help out Nank would be wortth a shot.
This lad is a specialust key nack.
Aren’t a lot of key backs ex forwards? And a lot of key forwards ex backs? It seems that way.
196cms! Mobile, good hands? Give him a shot I; the forward line. There’s nothing to lose.
He’s a bloody good mark , we ain’t got too many on our list , get him in the side
I like Millers athleticism, disposal & closing speed in defence. He’s finally settled in a position. No way known I’d shift him now.
disagree there, the below off the top of my head are great markers of the footy

Blight looks like he can take a grab. Might be a decoy for Lynch in the forward line. With what we’ve got he’s worth a shot there.
Our key backs as of next game should be Miller and Blight.
Miller to Curnow. Blight to McKay.
Move Balta forward so he can torch Young.

Exactly.
LOL at trying to move Blight to the forward line. He simply doesn't have the athleticism and pace to play forward.
To anyone proposing it - Zero chance it will work.
We drafted him as a key back. He is dominating the level below as a Key Back.
How's about we give him his chance as a...guess what......Key Back.
Miller is finally building confidence at the level. He needs to stay there.
Broken record, but Balta is the one we can move forward and have an impact whilst giving opportunity to find out what we have behind the ball.
So simple.
Wherever Yze wants players going forward , imho he should be using the rest of this season as pre season for 2025 , great opportunity to think outside the square and see if we can’t unearth a player with a new role
Someone less kind than me would suggest that if Leysy gets then it cant to hard to "fathom out". But I am kind so I wont.
Yep, cant move Blight forward, cant move Miller forward.
I have doubts Balta will be anything better than an inconsistent ok forward, but if we want to give Blight a go, the best option is to move Balta forward for the rest of the year. If he is to turn into a truely good forward he needs the chance to develop there.
U might be right but Jack R and the Hawkins guy did alright without pace or athleticism. That pies forward goes all right and he is super slow.
Jack could leap small buildings and besides, was a genius. Hawkins was quick on the lead and a man mountain.
Blight has shown he's a natural defender, takes good grabs and uses it by foot very well. Love to see him in next week v Carlton. Don't care who he goes on, just want someone like him to compete in air against Curnow or McKay or play the role Stewart played at Geelong. Keep Balta back bc he's also a natural defender. We never put Rance up forward that I can recall, for the same reason. Three talls in defence - Miller, Balta and Blight is worth trying since Flossy, Broad, Rioli, Short and anyone else are often out-marked. He looks a class above VFL and that's a great indicator he deserves to debut.
What Spook said Code Black: Jack was an athletic freak (if not fast).
