If Blakely joins Lachie we will have two superstars on our hands.Im salivating at our future midfieldRichmond are apparently the team with the most salary cap space of any of the Melbourne clubs. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that they offer Dangerfield 1.2 million a year and we can then poach Rance for 650K ish.
While he will get a buttload of money no matter where he gets, I don't think he'd be leaving just for the money. He's always said he wants a premiership and I seriously doubt that's going to happen at Richmond any time soon. I'd say Geelong would easily be the front runners cos Hawks can't afford him.
They will be throwing the kitchen sink at Rance first and foremost. He is an All Australian CHB!

At Geelong Vardy has had more knee surgery, Clark has tweaked a calf and Stevie J's foot that was hurt when Lachie viciously head butted it has flared up.
And everyone else i sa year older (not that that really matters)
Surely, this is the year Geelong start to slide. Everyone has been saying it for years now.
They slid last year, as far as football was concerned. Geelong ducked their way to the top four. Until the umpires actually follow their own rules in Geelong games, they'll keep winning close games under dodgy circumstances.
I think Geelong should be on the slide too, but Richmond don't even know what end to kick at.
Is Tom Hawkins up for free agency next year ? He will cost Geelong plenty to retain unless that is why they picked up Clark.
If?If Blakely replaces Lachie we will have a super star on our hands

Especially with the Boyd deal. Imagine if they tried to offer him less than a 19 year old who has played 9 games and kicked 8 goals.
If Boyd end up being an ordinary player (or worse) they will never live that deal down.
Love Blakely ( Black Duck afterall !!! ), but Neale is cemented in our best midfield group. As good as Blakely could be, he is still 3 years behind Neale.
It is more likely that a player like Blakely will end up replacing Mundy in the midfield group.
He's a good foil for them
Fair to say he is slipping under the radar of the opposition.
The moment he starts copping a tag, he has arrived. That is not saying it is elite level though.
As he is only 21, I don't think he has necessarily reached his ceiling. Improved immensely last season so who knows where his potential might lead him. I hope people don't write him off as a potential elite starting mid either when we haven't seen his full potential just yet.

He's not going to get any faster, taller or learn to kick on his opposite side. He's a handy player and always will be. Elite mid, probably never.
What is his ceiling?
His ceiling would be when he warrants being tagged.

Realistically what he is now but with a bit better kicking.
He's not the slowest unit considering how small his legs are. I'd like to see him take a few more steps before belting the ball forwards out of stoppages.
