Player Watch Welcome James Blanck. Extends to 2026!

[Hodginator]

How long until there’s an article about how we’re rorting the mid season draft again?

Came on to see if Blanck made the team.

Ended up having a Blanck look

With Frost out for a few weeks - I really hope that no matter how he goes this week, we give him a run in the seniors for a few weeks at minimum. He shapes as a serious contender as our full back for the next decade and a key piece of the puzzle for our rebuild - so fingers crossed we'll give him a good crack!

I approve of this outcome

 

[HairyO]

We really do like this mid season draft caper.

Well done young man.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Be interesting to see how he does, I've seen very little of Box Hill this season.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Naughton his first opponent?

Welcome to the big league.

 

[The hands of stone]

Looks to have some nice attributes .
Decent opponant on debut in the astronaught too.

Hopefully we all show him some patience and a chance to develop

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Great news. Hopefully he and DGB form a strong partnership.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Massive win for our rebuild if he can handle the step up into the big league. We desperately need another key defender to partner DGB moving forward. Hopefully he is Sam Collins mark 2. Good luck big fella.

[Simon Crawshay]

In nothing else he looks a very solid unit (although he might be doing the old footy club photo trick of using your hands to push out your biceps)

Similar height and weight to Naughton. Hope Mitch keeps Blanck on him no matter what for the entire game ……. especially if he keeps him goalless! That would be a nice start

And if it's going the other way? Zac Dawson the guy?

 

[Flukey!]

21 so plenty of time to find his feet.
I wish him well and hope he is our next KPD.

 

[SammyC]

We needed to pick someone for naughton. Frosty has the speed and agility, hartigan doesn’t. Fast leading not DGBs go.

I’m assuming that’s why the boy gets a go - what a challenge!

If he can become a genuine full back, that’s a massive gap filled. DGB more CHB and Sicily released (like we were able to do with gibbo when lake & then frawley came to the club).

Go well!

I'd say Monday. Box Hill is just a good place for talent to thrive it seems, rarely spends time outside of the finals and is almost always competitive. Could build a decent core of a team from recent Box Hill draftees in Collins, Switkowski, Reeves, Bramble and Newcombe - here's hoping Blanck adds to that.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Welcome to the big league.

Has to be. Matches up size, athleticism wise.

 

[Agent Smith]

And if it's going the other way? Zac Dawson the guy?

Are you shooting Blancks?

Think we have generally done that, so hopefully at least 2 and maybe 3. How nice would it be to see:

HB: CJ - Denver - Scrimmers
FB: Hardwick - Blanck - Sicily

Playing hangman to know that you're debuting is sick!

Fully.

Love that they do it a little differently each time for the debuts.

Golf putting for Buttsy was a nice touch, maybe Blancky is a bit of a games fan?

Im thinking outside the box here but maybe, just maybe they chose it because it involves filling in the blancks?
