AFL Player 46: Lachlan Blakiston - Re-signed for another year! - 10/9

[Snake Charmer]

Not worth keeping imo

 

[Howard Moon]

Apparently his WAFL club wants him released for finals too

 

[MiguelM]

In the end it probably hinges on if Draper goes.

Unless there is a free agency ruck somewhere.

 

[faible]

Probably gone before our pick anyway, but likely concedes we won't draft CDT.

Not necessarily, you're drafting a young KPP based on what they'll do in 3-5 years, not next season. CDT won't be in the ruck or playing KPD in 2026.

Based on listed sides, they couldn’t make it work. Disappointing.

Might be a week 2 thing given he played Wednesday

Deals for Prior & MacMahon but nothing for Blaki - surely we keep this guy..!!??

I get the feeling nothing will be announced for him until the official Draper announcement comes through

 

[Skipper_]

Nothing official yet but it’s been reported that he’ll be getting a 1 year deal.

 

[bommer16]

Like him. Got potential.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I like him because every time I hear his name I get that Metallica song in my head.

Blakiston is the end! Winter he will send!

 

[jdstorm]

Disagree, @ 26 not going to get much better. Bring a kid in and develop

We’ve got 100 kids already and will be adding 6 more (at present) he’s VFL depth with a mature body and an afl contract

Will be far from the worst player with that role in the league

 

[mxett]

Like him. Got potential.

isnt he already 27? Surely he has peaked already

 

[Duckworth]

isnt he already 27? Surely he has peaked already

A ruckman-sized player with no AFL pre-seasons surely has a bit more up to go.

 

[Zach Package]

Low mileage too.

Been sitting in the lot

 

[bommer16]

isnt he already 27? Surely he has peaked already

For most players yeah. But as per Duckworth and ZP he’s got quite a bit left in the tank.

So the same as the other two then. Club has indicated they’ll have a one year deal but the details and the signatures aren’t finalised so can’t be officially announced

If this is true, Visentini and one other player will get promoted to the senior list. Unless, we are creating another spot from a LTI.

No one on the LTI list between list lodgement 1 and final list lodgement. Would need special dispensation for Cox or a bit of loophole-like delist and SSP re-sign

Yes, it was the Cox timing of the concussion panel meetings I was alluding to as a potential loophole. I'm not sure if that is the thinking or not though.

 

[faible]

Another year

 

[Old Campaigner]

Was probably a given once Draper decided to leave

 

[bommer16]

Very good.

 

[ant555]

Good
