The reason given is that he has played 2 games since June last year and on top of that missed most of this year’s pre-season. He obviously went a long way to dispelling those concerns with his last training session (by being put on the emergency list) so you would think he would be in this week.I still haven't heard a plausible reason why Blakely didn't play. One reason given by Ross was you don't change a side that's doing well. Hello coaching panel we lost against Adelaide.
I thought there would me more said about Connors omission. Thought Ross would have caught more flak over it. Connor instead of Colyer could have made all the difference.
