Mark blake

[afl genius]

Watching the Vfl today he did some good things and some good taps (one to ablett was amazing ) Hes starting to come along as a player.
just want to no what every one thinks of him?

at first i agree, then i think of the big boys up a level and um....

 

[sarah.13]

have not been a big wrap for him, but I was impressed today. Won plenty of taps, took several strong marks,kicked a good long goal.Whilst I realize it was VFL he looked a class above the rest.At 20 he'll improve over the next 3-4 years and Geelong have a lot to look forward too.

 

[ablettjnr]

He will be good. Too good for the VFL.

Big blokes always take longer to mature in Footy. I think his run in the AFL side early in the year has done him alot of good. He has seen the level he needs to get to. He has improved no doubt which means he will be handy for when Kingy injures himself again which is a dead cert.

His still got work to do but he is coming along very nicely. Good to have him for back up incase things go wrong in our senior team.

Has improved, I really like the idea of reading someones post on here to have Blake/King ruck combo and Ottens up at FF all the time.

as has been mentioned previously, he's still only 20 years old. He's got the ability, all he needs is the muscle, and learn a few of the tricks to outmuscle opponents without getting pinged for pushing. Keep.

I think King has only got a couple of years left in him and its probably better for the side if he retire soon as he has a huge mental effect on the team as the captain and him constanstly getting injured is annoying. Hopefully when he retires, Blake will be ready to replace him than we can keep doing what we're doing now. Can't really see us being able to ruck well without Ottens in there.

 

[cattalist]

definately keep - Kingy is an injury waiting to happen, its only a matter of time.

Spot on

Has been given a taste of senior footy, over the last two seasons. Still maturing as a player. Glad to see he is rising to the challange in the vfl. I think keep him there, get another pre season into him and look at him in 2007.
