Welcome Jacob Blight

Yep, we want Blight to be our fullback. Miller CHB. Ease Gibbo back as third tall when ready.

Lynch, Balta, Lefau up front to terrify defenders.

Nice blend there if Miller and Blight can be above average

What of Balta back and Gibcus forward, given Gibcus May be reportedly better than Balta up forward?
Too slow down back?

Will jump in here.

Gibbo has missed so much footy and his body has taken such a hammering.

Surely everything we do is geared towards him getting confidence to perform and feel like he belongs at the level - As easily as possible.

And that sure as hell aint coming back and trying to be a key forward - where he hasn't played for many years.

Let's play him, at least initially, where he is both most comfortable and most suited.

Lest we might break the kid.

No brainer.

If Balta goes forward it will be testing debut for Blighty. McKay and, or Curnow will keep him honest.

He'll be right he'll probably sit on the bench until the 20 minute mark of the last quarter anyway.

Or theyll do something dumb and play him forward then drop him when he struggles.

Oh yeah.

Congratulations Blighty, have a great debut game and enjoy the big stage son.

Hopefully the first of many. Rip in and Eat Em Alive.

The umps will have a field day. The ball will be in our forward line and they’ll blow their whistle “free kick Curnow or McKay, doesn’t matter which”.
 
Named on extended interchange hope Blight gets a full game

Funny how Blight goes into Ooze's office to ask for a review on how he's travelling and is happy to keep playing VFL and then he gets an announcement he'll debut for AFL. Shock or what!!! Going by the way he did this and the way he speaks, seems like a really intelligent kid. Could be a good leader years later.

Nothing wrong with knocking down Yze door to see where you stand when you’ve got 6month contract
Loved the initiative shown by Blight

He’s a good size the lad. Got a bit of muscle, not a skinny arse.
Well spoken, quietish. Hopefully can become like Dave Astbury. No fanfare, No fuss, just gets the job done and teammates love his presence
