Player Watch #46 Jacob Blight- Delisted

[Muddiemoose]

He nominated a 6 month contract. Is that the norm for MSD picks or not?

Pretty standard
Majority of players opt for the 6th months

 

[tiger_tough]

Happy enough with this selection. A ready to go intercept marking beast.

At the very least will be a huge boost for the VFL side this season.

 

[beema limapep]

All the best to him.

Calm down.

Happy enough with this selection. A ready to go intercept marking beast.

At the very least will be a huge boost for the VFL side this season.

he will have an opportunity with Young out and other injuries. He is a 22 year old to rather than 18, Interesting to see how he goes

Miller and Young are both absolute trash. This kid looks a footballer.

Miller is thrash what games a you watching lol ?.

He nominated a 6 month contract. Is that the norm for MSD picks or not?

Players get the option to nominate 6 or 18 month deals

Hope his Dad Malcolm is happy

Blighty is a ripper, strong in the contest, good mark and ready to go. Kicking is as neat as a KPD needs to be. Deserves the chance and I'm sure he's an AFL level player.and you'll love this pick

Cheers - let's hope he wins over this fickle mob quickly!

 

[tiger_tough]

Can we bring him in this week?

 

[Diverbelow]

I have seen a few Peel games this year and Blight is definitely AFL level. Reads the play well. great intercept marking and a decent kick. Good size. Give him some games.

 

[Truetiger]

Can we bring him in this week?

I believe so yes. Available straight away.

Jacob Blight (Peel Thunder)
Key Defender | 196cm | 14/12/2001

2024 averages: 18.4 disposals, 11.7 kicks, 8.7 marks

Blight came through the ranks as a Claremont junior but has progressed strongly since moving into Peel’s senior program. In his second full season at the Thunder, the defender earned a state debut and is ranked in the competition’s top echelon for marks. He’s a kick-first type of distributor who reads the play well and intercepts at will, firming as a readymade option who fits the modern day key back mould.

What the Richmond recruiters say about Blight...

"He’s a consistent, competitive player whose strength lies in his defensive and aerial game. He recently had a strong performance in the WAFL v SANFL State Game at Optus Stadium, in which he took seven intercept marks and had 17 disposals. He is a super professional character, who has worked extremely hard to continue to improve and develop, and we are extremely delighted to give him this opportunity."

looks an old school footy player, back when theyd look about 43 when theyre 23.

At least we can give Grimes the lemon and sars now.

Our WA scout doesn't miss....

And he’s gonna have better picks to play with now instead of rookie selection 83 and selecting Bakes

Knightmare is a fan

Oh no...

[Nostradumbass]
