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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
