Luke was always a good mover at Carlton before delisted. Some Blues supporters still reckon he was unlucky.

He is a skilled left footer, gets the footy, has good pace and has footy smarts. His bio backs it up.

If he is overlooked in the national draft, he MUST be on the Dees rookie menu.

    Luke was born in Melbourne whilst his dad Wayne was playing for the blues. He was a father son pick in the 2004 draft for Carlton.

    He spent most of the 2005 season playing for the Bullants (carlton ressies) as an 18yo. He was a very light teenager and it wasn't until halfway throigh 2006 that he got into the Blues Seniors. He played 10 of the last 11games of 2006, and was set up to be part of the Blues rebuild alongside Murphy, Gibbs etc. In 2007 and 08 he played a further 13 games before being delisted at end of 2008.

    Then as above, he has won 3 Claremont B&F's (2009, 2010, 2011), runner up in the 2010 Sandover, won the 2011 Sandover (WAFL League B&F), and won the 2010 Simpson medal for the best player in the WAFL interleague match. He played a key role in Claremont's 2011 Premiership.

    Get him now at the end of 2012 - likely with MFC#3 pick in the rookie draft ... we would NOT be disappointed. He HITS targets !!.

    There aren't many players who come back better players re-drafted after being de-listed. I doubt there's many tricks a player learns at the second division team that makes him a better player. Furthermore, struggling to get a game at Carlton in 07 when they were probably the worst team ever known to man, so bad potentially I could have got a game further worries me. However, good research of him Jurrah and I'm sure he wouldn't be the worst pick up if he chose to get him.

    Height & weight?

    Why did he fall out with Carlton? injury? not fully developed?

    Blackwell is one of the elite midfielders in the WAFL competition.

    Height 180cms

    Weight 78 kgs (would be 80-81 with an AFL pre season adding that extra muscle)

    -skilled left footer

    -gets his own footy and distributes

    -has won the 2009,2010, 2011 Clremont B&F

    -won 2011 Sandover & runner up in 2010 behind Andrew Krakouer

    We should be falling over ourselves to add this bloke (as a mature rookie #3) to the young guns from the draft.

    dissapointed that he went to the tigers after beeing delisted. He got drafted from Swans!

    The bloke can find the ball and generally does good things with it. Could do far worse in the rookie draft

    thanks. Blackwell's ability to get the footy, run with it and dispose of it is AFL standard.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
