Exactly right. We absolutely smashed them in the 4th in clearances, contested etc. However, just didn't kick straight.
That just proves the last 3 weeks, we just needed to finish injury free
It's extremely positive he gets into those positions. He will nail one of them one day and that will be a great day.
He doesn't lack confidence that's for sure. It's just his 3rd year

Blakey is really starting to remind me of Rohan
All the tools , height , speed etc but not much smarts

No not Rohan! he was generally a good finisher when streaming into goal.

It was an ugly win but might help us in the long run. It allows you to show what happens when things are going well and then compare the not so good things.

He's just a baby Giraffe. When the co-ordination clicks he will be majestic but for now he is just swaying in the wind.

As much as I regard Dodo as a liability, he does seem to have drafted a few gems. Cox looked great & Perkins has enormous talent.
We have competition for the Rising Star.

Okay, so I must have watched a different game to the rest of you...
What I saw...
1. An outstandingly hard fought out win at night in very dewy conditions, by a bunch of under 23-year-olds, with limited experience and limited pre-seasons, five days after an immense game in 30 degree heat. They had every right to drop this one, as young and inexperienced teams are wont to do when the pressure is on and the conditions adverse, and the ball is sliding off the side of the boot, but they fought on, never giving up, like true bloods... and they BLOODY WON!!!
2. Blakey is playing as instructed, otherwise he would have been dropped. There are numerous instances over the last 10-15 years where an infraction (whether it be on the field or off the field) has led to a player not taking the field. Blakey is no different, he is playing as instructed, and all it will take is for him to hit his stride in one game and light it up, and BANG! he will be an instant A grader. The Swans have a proven history of this type of development plan... anyone remember a bloke called Jetta??
3. The umpiring was pretty reasonable over all... As usual they missed a fair bit, and while 29-16 seems fairly one way, I felt that Essendon were clearly willing to give away a free kick rather than let the Swans use fast corridor ball, and to control the inside 50 marking. I thought our skills were better than theirs, although they clearly have the makings of an excellent young team.
All in all, I think the cygnets did very well, and we ground out a hard fought win which leaves us top of the table for the next 24 hours!!! Woohoo!!!
Go BLOODS!!!

I said exactly the same thing to my brother last week. I'm still holding out hope that he'll be a very good player though.
Bullshit good or fake "pressure acts" stat padding?

I feel bad criticising Bell - but it is frustrating watching him struggle (again) whilst Hayward and Stephens can’t get a look-in.

I’ve been defending Blakey passionately since round one as the effort and possibility are there.
His play on and kick to Heeney in the first is the glimpse at the good but his decision to try and second guess the defenders with a dinky one to Bell in the pocket for a low percentage shot was admittedly the frustration voiced by many posters.
Still think he is on the cusp of a special game but he could also be on the cusp of costing us a game in the same breath. If not for Heeney’s injury and that Lloyd is safe I would have conceded him to be the one to go out.
He really needs to put a good few weeks together to retain his spot and seems it’s the mental side of thegame more than the effort.
