Player Watch #46 Jacob Blight- Delisted

[Wooden Robot]

Old comment, but do you know if if was obstinace or was it that he just couldnt "get it"?

Smart cookie apparently .... a school teacher by trade (not that that necessarily qualifies as you as being smart) .... so obstinate I would suggest. Stubborn and selfish, which, with our premiership-winning run from 2017-20 in mind, is not what the club wants. In that period especially, we were a model of selflessness and sacrificing for the team.

As for West Coast's disinterest. Do you not think the views of Richmond players would have gotten back to the likes of Baker and Graham at West Coast? If your club leaders or at the very least experienced hands are hearing bad things, they are not going to launch in and invite him on board, however talented, especially when they are rock bottom.

Its always baffling when you hear stories of players being stubborn about stuff. Like, you are a mid season draft pick, listen to the coaches because they should know better.

Couldn't agree more.
It can only end one way - the way it did.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Can’t wait to see Blight and Cumberland tear up the AFL next season. Still can’t believe we’ve delisted them! Will be stars!!!

Don’t forget Stack!

Probably an ego thing, senior players and vets would be given roles with more freedom and know “when” to tow the team first line and when to go off the leash so to speak and play the ball

Seems Blight might of had some tickets on himself and thought he was higher up the pecking order than what he was

maybe

23 years old he is not a teacher. had a babe of a GF playing AFLW for the Eagles.

ignored by WCE as a DFA today too.

Not quite good enough. Got some traits but not AFL standard. RFC delisted Kosi too. Kept Gray. with Gibcus getting fit, Miller Balta Trainor are ahead of him. We could look at Fawcett in the backline

Reminds me of Sharon O'Neill's case 1352, Maxine, who impressively within one 4 minute film clip met her case worker, stormed off when being lectured, complained to some fellow street workers, met 4 nice gentlemen in a hotted up car Groupie might need to identify for us, when in doubt I normally just say a hotted up HQ, whatever that is. But anyway, back to Maxine, still within her 4 minute window she managed to run from the nice gentlemen after they offered her a seat in said vehicle, whereupon she immediately visited a public toilet. After exiting the same sewerage feeding facility she had a brief conference with some officers from the uniform branch. They of course take her fingerprints because it is a felony to be afraid of a car full of gentlemen who offer you a lift, especially when you are sporting a bleached blonde 80's rats nest hairstyle. She then proceeded on foot past a seedy live act cinema which at the same time was being exited by a person who looked suspiciously like Tanner Bruhn, but it couldn't be because he wasn't born yet. She then does the only thing a frightened female would naturally do and walks into a dark street where the four gentlemen in the hotted up car happened to be waiting for her. They again invite to take her on a sightseeing tour of the vicinity. She at first hesitates, then oddly tries to escape by running towards them. They can't believe their luck, scoop her up with a 3 man gang tackle and place her not exactly kicking and screaming into their vehicle. Next we see of Maxine she is on a trolley being wheeled through a corridor by an orderly who looks suspiciously like Kelvin Moore, the Hawthorn Full Back of the era, but I don't think it was actually him. Maxine completes her eventful 4 minutes by having a single rose layed on her grave by the frustrated case worker who had earlier lectured her that Fords are superior to Holdens when being abducted into a car. What is even more impressive is within the same 4 minute video clip Maxine managed to light up 8 cigarettes.

Anyway, Sharon O'Neill the singer manages to get some sage advice for Jacob Blight into the lyrics of the song:

Your not the only one
To take the whole world on
But no-one's ever won.

Sometimes in life it is good to question authority, and sometimes it is wise to follow guidance. Knowing the difference is not always easy.

Dima messed him up

I think it was a HK Monaro. That model had zero space in the back seat. So, I am assuming your message to Blight is to always be the driver and never get in the back seat or did I get it wrong?

And Stack

 

[lizard man]

Seems like a humble guy, sad he’s gone

Complete narcissist
Potential future serial killer

I don’t know about that, seems like he has leadership qualities

Molly did his best to push Sharon O’Neill. Right up there with Kim Hart.

Surprised someone other than me remembers that song; a sad indictment on the pair of us. At least it’s step up from Christie Allen.

Sharon was a NZ version of Renee Geyer. Cut price Marcia Hines.

I had a crush on Sharon

 

[PetterdHoisted]

So how are are our recruiting team looking and feeling after we delisted their pick 2 in the MSD after 1.5 years? Yuck.

G. Payne also gone for North.

Ned Long probably the star of the draft so far? Jack Hutch good, el-Hawli/Cooper Lord OK? And of course Doc completely overlooked but snapped up later.

Campbell Gray the sleeper

Any excuse to watch a Stacky gif.

Heard Stares and Whispers through decent speakers for the first time a while back.

Straight away knew that it wasn't Australian production. Sounded very LA to me.

On investigation, discovered that it was recorded in Hollywood with the best session musicians including Stevie Wonder’s rhythm section.

Back in those days Aussie songs didn’t sound as good as that. Great song, beautiful sound.

A lot, probably the majority of MSD selections are gone after 1.5 years. There's a reason they weren't picked in the ND....

sure and Payne made even less of a ripple at North, but Long was a central part of the Pies top-4 midfield

A top pick in the MSD is very valuable; newcombe, d'ambrosio, durham, tom mcCarthy (early days)

our man Pickett was outside the top 10, thank god for him, else MSD overall would be looking pretty sick for us, a net drain of talent

Cheetah were an Australian hard rock band, active between 1976 and 1984 consisting of sisters Lyndsay and Chrissie Hammond. The Vanda and Young penned "Spend The Night" was a success at #1 in Australia.

Pies were also in a completely different position to us when they took Long. If we were contending for a flag, I doubt we would have gone for Blight....
