Player Watch #51 Jacob Blight - Re-Signed for 2025

[guruisatiger]

He got Prestia all those years ago and a few others. Typical ozzys keep punching while the man is down. Lucky I'm a Greek Ozzy I only punch them

It's all jokes and giggles in here
Just some gentle sledging

[Grrr]

It had to be done.

He’s a 207cm developing ruckman who is right where he is expected to be and has shown good signs at vfl level. He could develop into a good player

he doesn’t know how to play nor will he

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Will be interesting after a preseason. My only negative comment about him after watching him play was that he took an age to get up off the ground.

All players go to ground at some point but you have to try and stay involved. Like to see him jump up to be of use rather than slowly get to his feet. He’s not 60 years old.

The thing the excites me about Blight is he came in and did extremely well ar VFL level and was not too bad at AFL level after just coming in from the WAFL.

We will know better once he has a full pre season against Lynch / Balta / Kosi and learns the game plan and his deefence team mates better.

Could become a real find next year and if he wants to go back the eagles will pay through the nose

 

[Woodstock]

Allows Yze to move Balta into other positions. Play Blight all year as full back, we’re 18th on the ladder so can’t do any worse. Let’s see if we have a player or not.

I will reserve my judgment until end of next year. So far good intercept mark in vfl, drops them in afl. Looks very slow in afl looks of athletically in vfl

Miller and Kosi are the same. Very slow recovery time.

 

[lizard man]

is he capable of playing on the wing?

 

[tropicaltiger]

Hopefully Dave Astbury can be invited by Rutten to come down for a session or two and work on a few things with Blighty (Miller and Young too) We are gunna need a backline rock and enforcer for our backline ASAP. see vid.

Ol' Blighty gonna be a revelation down back after a proper AFL preseason. Needs the summer of geling and learning our structure but will be our locked in FB next year I'm calling. I just hope we can keep the WA clubs from poaching him.

dusty & shai money has to be spent and Lynch coming out of contract. we need someone to spend the cap on.

 

[Tigerbob]

Very interested to see how he goes. Think he’s dropped his gf in Perth and focused on his fitness as soon as season ended. That shows mental strength considering his Mrs was a stunner.

Single minded focus. Hoping for the best for him.

Interesting stuff
His fitness definitely seemed like the biggest factor holding him back especially if you watched him live at the ground

Wonder if his intentions to stay in vic and really focus on his footy career was one of the factors with the split with his Mrs as well

 

[Tiger 7]

I'm teling ya, this guy has no idea, when the ball hits the ground you'll always see him running around like a chicken with his head cut off, no f***ing idea this guy.

Still, hoping to see him put in a solid VFL season next year.

 

[tiger_tough]

Just had to listen to him speak after being drafted to see how driven he is to succeed.

Reckon he could be a surprise packet next year.

Any time Chief. No doubt you'll be plagiarising it shortly.
