Blake or West?

[Frappe]

I didn't and wouldn't suggest he was the worst tonight. But it was a crucial moment in the game that ended it as a contest. Momentum gone, we were gone.

Blake and Mumford will ruck in the finals and do as well as can be expected. Please don't bag Blake when players like Joel Corey continue to rack up clangers at a rate of knots. from what I saw he competed well in the ruck and it allows Mumford to fill in the backline or forwardline when required.

Yes but this topic isn't about Joel Corey is it? Anyway as I said, his tap work was good. We were winning it in the middle which we weren't doing for the weeks prior and he played a major role in that, it's just a shame that the delivery to the forward line was so poor because we paid for it in the end.

But in my opinion, his efforts in the ruck do not outweigh his lack of ability in every other situation. Ah well, if he plays finals, alrighty then, I wish him well.

Decent at hit outs, not a footballer. Should be playing basketball.

Keep him in the two's, just too frustrating to have in the side.

Honestly when i saw Mumford up forward i got worried. Them wanting to try him as a forward gave me a feeling Ottens wasn't coming back at all and they wanted Mumford being able to play another position come finals. Blake today was a joke and a half. His actions cost us the game without a doubt.

I can and will continue to bag Blake. Unlike Corey (who if you watched tonight, actually won a lot of hard ball and created a number of goals with his work in traffic), Blake has almost no redeeming features. His tap work is questionable (why tap backwards into open space for an opponent to run onto??? repeatedly???). His ball skills are non-existent, and his decision making is woeful at best.

The sad part is, for the last two weeks since he got back in the team, he actually seems to have been trying harder to get involved in the game. Unfortunately, the harder he tries, the worse it gets. I'd rather him not get involved, than get involved and cost us goals.

I used to knock him because he had no impact outside of the ruck contests. He sure had an impact tonight, but i wish he hadn't.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Hehe I am not to sure if it is my getting older, wiser or just being further away from source but I find the hysteria on this board amusing.

Agreed....if Ottens comes in this week and Blake doesn't go out (i.e. Mumford goes out) I'm gonna call Freo and try and get a trade in motion
