Whether you get 100-1 or 20-1 it makes no difference if he isn't going to play.

Sounds exactly like what my mate was saying when he offered me 400-1 on Hawthorn missing the 8, and Essendon and Carlton making the 8 last year. He said never going to happen, so I'll give you 400-1. Whoops.

I bet $50 and he still owes me $20,000. haha
 
Essentially you own this friend now Joxstrap - that's how easy your life can slip away from you.
 
He won't play round one, better off putting your money on Melbourne to win the flag, He is a defender and at the moment Harry, Maxy, Presti, Reid, Brown, Brown, Toovs, Shaw, Bucks, Goldy are all ahead of him.

like everyone on this board i don't know what malthouse and buckley are thinking but i would assume he would get a game in the NAB cup and then be used in the season as a rotation player at best. i.e come in for an injuried player or to give someone a rest towards the end of the year.
 
Revisit this after a couple of NAB cup games.

Then a market will emerge. But as so many have said, no way will he play bar massive injuries. Buckley or even Corrie will get a go before him early on.

Love Blighty, not a fan of Corrie.

That's how i see it.
 
Corrie? No way. Blighty was an emergency for a few games late last year, it shows he's at least in the selection committee's thinking (perhaps even moreso after a solid preseason now). Granted we had a few injuries then, but he's got to be ahead of Corrie in the pecking order.

Totally agree, I just think he maybe given a go to find out what he can produce at senior level in the last year of his contract.

Although I guess this can be accomplished during the NAB cup.
 
Will Jarrad Blight play much football this year?

Will he play in NAB Cup?

Good replacement for Toovey or Leigh Brown?

Round 1?


27.Jarrad Blight - Not his best hitout, but shows glimpses of being a real player here and there.

Report from today's scratch match.

He could replace Tooves when he's ready to retire in 2019.

So you are saying he will be going to the GC?
 
WTF Dave? :confused:

Well he said try him in the last year of his Contract making it sound like want to raise he Stock.

Hey Steele has not Re-Signed yet so we could Techincally still lose him:(

On Corrie, just because GC are new they are not from Mars.
Collingwood will be Corries last gig in the AFL.

No Dave, all I meant was let's see if he's got anything to offer.

We will have invested 2 yrs in him, so let's just see. Of course this depends on NAB or VFL form.

Personally he's a list clogger for mine.

Have you seen him play? He is not a List Clogger like Cook and Corrie

Dave, sorry i didn't use the quote function in my other post, i was replying to TRS above me.

I'm talking about CORRIE. (list clogger)

BLIGHT will be a very good player, i have NO doubt.
 
The one calling him the next clement was funnier

The kid has some talent but gee he will never ever been in the jimmy class

Well we don't know that and we won't now
Dave Blight even with us would NEVER have reached Jimmy's level, ever.

I'm not sure how i can make that clearer, it just was never going to happen
 
You have got to be kidding trying to compare him to Clement. :rolleyes:
If he was anywhere near him, he would not have been delisted.
The coaching staff did not deem him good enough - simple as that.

Agreed - how can you compare a skinny teenager who has never played a game to a guy who was, for mine, the best medium/tall defender in the business for probably 5-6 years?

Jimmy at his best was as good a backman as I've seen.
 
Favourites, I owe you $10 assuming you would have paid out the $1,000 had he played round one. If you would have, let me know your bank details by PM, and I'll ship you the $10.
