List Mgmt. Mark Blicavs CONFIRMED RE-SIGNED

[Farmer2Goggin]

Blicavs ain't a ruck. He has become a decent midfielder who is exceptional at the third man up role. Who knows how long he will get away with it before a rule change is made makimg his main asset redundant. Motlop gets more of the ball then Blicavs despite playing less minutes in the midfield, Can carry the ball and break lines, players which we seriously lack and is seriously dangerous around goals which we also seriously lack. Motlop is more important then Blicavs.

I am a huge Blitz fan and I think your analysis is pretty accurate. He is necessarily a fill in #1 ruck but is only pinch hitting in that role in the absence of a fit Stanley , Simpson or perhaps Clark.
Stanley showed what he can do v Port and his absence has a negative flow on effect ( compounded with Clarks absence) - it means both Blitz and Walker play out of position and we are a weaker side as a result.
Blitz needs more time to develop as a mid but he was showing fantastic signs in that role and the sooner we get him back there the better.
Similarly Walker should be having time at CHF in Clarks absence but we need him to support Blitz in the ruck - it's no surprise he is inconsistent when he is moved from pillar to post instead of being alllowed to settle into his best position.
Mots is fantastic when he plays the team game and is a rare player in that he is a game changer when he's on.

I am really looking forward to the second half of the season and in particular what we do with Gore and Jansen. Both have potential to make a difference in 2016 provided they get some exposure this season. If one or both come on it will take pressure off Caddy and Guthrie and give us Selwood and Duncan as our more experienced group - Dangerfield would lift our midfield group enormously if he comes. We have very good forwards and backs who can hold up strongly when our mids get on top - as our good wins have shown. Let's get back to having a powerhouse midfield

Yes!! #blitz

 

[Sttew]

Great news with Blitz extending his contract. Probably was never in doubt, but he is an exciting player and will be integral to our next premiership push

This is fantastic news for the club, very happy about this.

Together with the recently announced funding deal between the state government and CoGG to fund the completion of our highly secretive Blitz Cloning Machine (BCM) this just made off-season recruiting and next season's team selection so much easier.

Lol!
That's gonna save us a stack of money, too- because we won't need 40 of him on the list, will we? Just a few spare parts in a box in the back room at the club. All interchangeable pieces.

I know this is a bit left field, but congrats on news of him resigning soon. I felt like expressing a bit of Blitz love and didn't know where to go to do it but this seems like the place haha, I'm very envious of him on your team, phenomenal athlete and such a great utility to have on a footy team with his size and tank. He'll be a terrifying player to match up on as he gets older, stronger, and more experienced.

Your sentiments are much appreciated, and yes he's a wonderful story.

[GFrost]

Whoo hoo.
All your work and effort, you deserve it Blitz.

"And whoever we recruit into the team or draft into the team, I'm sure they'll fit into the place nicely, which will be good."

 

[fpm84]

Good news. No word on contract length? It had been speculated he would sign a long term deal. Hopefully not another two years like Mots and Kolo!

 

[sauron256]

Oh yeah, Blitzing our signatures.





Not sorry

 

[WaxiesDargle]

Never in doubt, onya Mark

 

[bulletproof]

And he is heading off on a holiday to Japan! No Las Vegas for the Blitz! What a man.

 

[Lager]

Fantastic news!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

May he be rewarded with a best and fairest in a few weeks!

 

[Teriyakicat]

Is 20 years long enough?

Assume from this it is three:

 

[Baudolino]

Awesome news. Confirmation of contract extensions for Blitz, Kolo and Motlop means that all the most important signing are done. Really looking forward to the trade period now.

First - great news, hope its the 3 years in the tweet. If he isn't in our first 5/6 picked each week I would be surprised - his versatility to the team has become so important over the last 18 months.

Is anyone else having issues when they click on the link in the email from the club to open the story? If I click the "read more" button at the bottom of the email I get redirected to JK's re-signing article, while when I click on the picture at the top I get a "page not found" message. Frustrating
