Player Watch #41: Blake Drury - 17d/2 goals vs Geelong - keeps his spot vs Hawthorn

[Snojet]

A definite upgrade on Kane Turner.
Got a good boot.

A definite upgrade on Kane Turner.

Upgrade on 2022 kayne prolly not 2016 kayne yet.

I like him. Give him a good month to see if he can nail that small forward role. Harvey needs to build fitness anyway.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

I wish he would use his nuggety body like a wrecking ball. He could impact the contest stronger…

 

[tazaa]

Started well and faded. Was presenting at least but needs a few more summers on the track and at the gym.

 

[Errol Street]

He gets at least one more year.

Has to be signed up can’t keep turning through players after some development

Potentially the highlight of the day was when the broadcast had a close up shot of him lining up before the bounce at the start of the 3rd quarter looking confused and saying “Where’s Stevo?”.

At that moment, Blake was all of us.

 

[disco_cowboy]

put him behind the ball, surely no worse than fisher at distribution.

 

[viccles]

Persist. I initially thought he'd be delisted by now, but I think he's got some good qualities

 

[Reagan Smash]

If only some of the more talented players had his desire and effort we wouldn’t be 0-8

On what planet is Drury playing 100 games, good grief.

He does some good things for sure . And is it just me or does he remind anyone else of Kosi Pickett

Better.

We’re not going anywhere if he’s in our best 23. Prefer Harvey, Ford and B. George before him.

As is the lot of the worst team in a very long time. You are filled to the gills with those not good enough. It makes sense.

Not sure about Harvey either tbh. I Like Ford and George fwiw

Really? He hasn’t really shown anything to suggest he’ll be a decent AFL footballer IMO.

He’s another undersized player on our list with no real outstanding attributes other than being a great kid who tries hard.

What did Rawlings and co. see in all these sub 6ft guys to think they would lift us up the ladder???? I seriously don’t get it. I really don’t.

He tries his best

He tries his best

He has a massive crack, many of his teammates could take a leaf out of his book.

Oh dear

When did “having a crack” become enough to be on an AFL list?

Put me on the list, and I’ll have a crack. But guess what? I’m no good.

Its an indictment on the NM playing list and those in charge, that “having a crack” has become optional.

Doesnt just have a crack, he is disiplined, works hard and does much to improve himself. He wont die wondering.

Having a crack is why he has played games in front of other more talented players.
You think this is the only difference between Drury being on a list and you not?

 

[ChairmanZia]

drury is more like your traditional crumbling forward, we need to train him up.

We somehow got lots of medium sized fwd who we want them to become marking type that are not quite tall enough to be key forwards.

 

[harper2bastinac]

Clarko clearly sees potential in him especially after he came to the u.s with him last off season, will get another year at least

 

[Engimal v3]

I like his effort, but I struggle to see him as an elite forward.
