Stoked not the finished product but there's something special about the way this guy plays.

It's a very strange award when a guy that is in his third year is in the same category as someone in their first just because he wasn't able to get a game in his first two years. Not trying to put a downer on it it's just something I've alway found strange.

Great news for the kid though as I think it will only help his confidence. Also great news for me as I had money on him to win it at pretty good odds...

Now for him to receive some well earned regular game time

Was announced on 3aw about an hour ago

Onya Blake!

What would it take from here do you reckon? 25 disposals, 13 contested, 4 clearances, 5 tackles and two goals a game from here should seal it. Weitering may be in for a stint on the sideline. Mills playing a role that isn't too glamorous. Oliver hasn't cemented his spot at the moment. PTrack needs to find another gear.

It would be a wonderful sidebar for the club.

Saint Blake Acres says he was dropped after Rd 1 for inconsistency and Rd 4 for lacking hardness.

He's the Rd 6 Rising Star. Fair response.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Well done and well deserved.
Onwards and upwards, Blake, we're all behind you!

 

[kernelT]

It wasn't a perfect game so back to sandy for Blake until he can put it all together for four quarters, we don't accept anything less.
