Welcome Jacob Blight

Good set of mits. We certainly need talls who can take a grab or kill a contest.
This pick is rightly insurance. Good luck to him.

and guns. I saw your Xwitter post. Another Rancey in our backline.

Solid fella too. No need to wait while he 'hits the gym!'

Yeah looks big and strong. Big legs. Big bum. Hopefully can hold his position in a contest

 

[Sintiger]

The player he reminds me the most of from the video is actually Noah Balta.
Maybe we did clone him?

Might eventually slot in next to Balta and release Miller to be the back up ruck to Nank ...who knows.

Look big strong and muscular

Look big strong and muscular

Whilst we all like the muscles and the players looking big and strong

Just think maybe for todays game he is just a bit too big

He looks like he would be 105+kg's

One would think that hitting up a full time professional role would see him fine down and lose a few kg. The big challenge for mid season draftees is always trying to get up to AFL level in such a limited time frame. Fitness level. Game structures. Completely new club and requirements. Simply getting to know the new team mates. Basically get 12 weeks to somehow fit in and show enough ability to get the opportunity for an extension to enable a proper pre season.

The next Truck Rutten.

I am guessing that Yze really wants to persist with Noah as a fwd

Hawkins’ day of reckoning is now near.

Our JB will shove him into the third row, (whilst protecting space of course)

Rightly so.

 

[zgod]

Rightly so.

I love Noah as a defender but if he can unlock his potential as a fwd than he is a scary proposition.
Certainly nothing to lose for rest of year trying.

Both boys represent flexibility. Toce was clear, they aren't short-term projects that can step in right away, they are long-term projects.

I wouldn't expect either boy to get a gig in the back half of the year, maybe Blight. It's interesting, the depth chart for KP down back at the start of 2025 looks different.

Tylar Young
Josh Gibcus
Ben Miller
Jacob Blight

What order they are in at this point next year is anyone's guess. I would hope that all of them are significantly improved by this time next year.

Hopefully we can buck the trend of KPP’s from the MSD being somewhat unsuccessful. Seems mids-onballers have a better record.
