Welcome Jacob Blight
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
Had a good magoos game, as per Gray I'll be happy to see him get settled into the magoos, do a full pre season and then show what he's got during next year. Got me a feeling that if either of the newbies get thrown into the seniors this year that there'll be nuffers just hovering over their keyboards n waiting for them not to be stars so that they can start on the dismantling process asap.

He can certainly mark. He fumbled ground balls a couple of times. A weakness? Does he have enough toe to close down a forward on a lead? Or will he just be a designated intercept goalkeeper?
Definitely has the tools. Look forward to seeing how he goes in an AFL environment to help his conditioning.
Watching him closely t the game he reads the ball really early and gets to position. There has been some talk of “Rance-like” but the only Rance comparison that I saw was his two fisted spoil.
Miller is fast, like a cat with a stick of ginger up its arse.
Young is not bad. Blight appears slower but assume he’d have a different role.
Astbury was very slow. Not a problem if your role is to man up the gorillas.
Blight may be just what we need..even up forward if he is a big goal square target.

No! The season is lost - the side is the walking wounded and the club is forced through injuries to play footballers who will never be quality AFL players and have been in the system now for 2 and 3 years. Shocking selections.
Let this young man learn his trade in the VFL and build up his tank, knowledge of the game plans and his confidence followed by a strong preseason and unleash him in 2025.
