They possibly just want Blight to spend some less pressured time getting used to the ruck/forward role in the VFL. And to be fair Ryan has been doing very well in the VFL, so they want to reward his form.

They have to play Balta on merit, to do otherwise would make a mockery of him being our most major outstanding contract. They either have Miller ahead as the 2nd key defender, or they don't want to destabilise the backline further.

Blight will be fine.
 
Blight out makes sense in my opinion.
I had him as a potential out last week if they brought Balta back early.
Balta can play back up ruck if needed.
Don't be shocked to see Samson get primarily only forward minutes and only ruck in the forward line.

I'm not a Ryan fan but he has been strong at VFL level in the forward line. He just needs to back himself in.

Common sense changes.
No concerns from me.

Blight out
Disappointed Kevin Sorbo GIF
 
And there it is. We mess around with a bloke finding his way in the backline and now he’s in the twos for a player we all know isn’t up to the level. My comments re the coaching staff messing with blights career was fair.

Very unpopular opinion but not surprised at all Blight is out. I’m probably in the small minority that can’t see him making it long term. He’s an intercept defender that is relying on injury and other circumstances to get a game. Gibcus and Balta way ahead of him and the club love Miller. Blight won’t fit with those guys and Trainor isnt small either. The forward/ruck role just isn’t for him moving forward either. Fawcett or sims are going to be battling for that spot in the coming years. Having said all that if sims is doing enough yet to earn a debut I would still play Blight before Ryan. At least blight has a crack.
 
Blight omitted, wtf. MRJ still in after 2 disposals after quarter time, wtf. Mcintosh finally out of the centre (good) but still in the side, wtf. Am I going to be at Etihad, wtf.
You do realise the teams line up nothing like they show us on Thursday nights?

Would be awesome if Ryan can put it together.

Has his contested marking improved in the VFL? Despite his size he seems easily pushed around in one on one marking contests even against smaller oppo.

is Ryno clunking them?
 
No issues with Blight out.

big boy and fit as but Balta is 5 times the player and Miller had a stinker last week so will probably play well this week as he’s a FIFO footballer.

Sam Lalorrrrrrrr.
