Recommitted Connor Blakely [re-signed until 2022]

[Virgin Dog]

With Blakely in great WAFL form but still failing to break his way into the team, he must have opposition teams enquiring if nothing changes. He's a Bunbury product, and regional WA players tend to suffer homesickness far less often.

Could have some serious offers coming his way given he is a huge talent

lol

 

[mike91]

Agreed. Talk about a ridiculously stupid overreaction by OP.

lol

 

[exxcessivve]

Wait a few more weeks before thinking he's failing to break into the side

 

[Righteo]

Now that's some impressive straw clutching, OP.

 

[Demons09]

Lol

 

[tigs2010]

Presuming he's coming back from injury given the responses?

Long term hamstring injury

 

[Vindicater]

I will just assume that the OP is correct.

Please trade him to Essendon, Freo.

Good mates with Lachie Neale ................ just saying.

I 100% think he should be playing, but lets not get carried away. Got tagged to 20 touches 2 weeks ago and then had 31 and a goal against witches hats last week.

and Lachie Weller, Langdon and Fyfe.

Therefore confirmed 50% (maybe 25% with the other half going where Ed goes) of him is playing for Freo and 25% each for Brisbane and Gold Coast next year.

Loves the surf down south, his car knows it’s own way.

Will back in the senior team shortly, so he ain’t going nowhere.

Plenty of good surf just out of Geelong. Part of a trade for Kelly maybe....

Dockers will need to pay good money to keep him

IMO he is off to the Lions

 

[theGav56]

Have there been any WA players who have requested trades interstate (or even down the road) since Lyon has been here? Or....ever?

 

[Wally Walpamur]

100% off to Brisbane. BigFooty ITK’s have all said so.

Bump!

Great news people. Connor has re-signed for 3 years... How about we give that a bit of attention. As another poster said elsewhere Connor staying is a much bigger and better story for Froe fans than Kersten walking, liming or being pushed out the door. How about we give this some real attention and stop looking for the negatives in everything Freo for just a few moments.

Just glad he get good money from Fremantle. He deserved a better contract.

These posts aged poorly

Had to pay overs to keep him

What is the contract worth?

He deserved it, Fyfe and him are the few not under Colin Young.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Glad he stayed at Freo. Leaving for a bigger part cheque or opportunity would have been the easy way out.
