I looked at the photo's taken during training and they look much better than the video.

His development has been hindered by injuries hoping he gets a good run now.

 

I hope Max hasn’t put a mozz on him one of the Captains nominated him to win the Rising Star Award and Max is probably the only Captain that knows he exists. Lol.!!

Unfortunately the club can’t list their weight anymore so we may never know who is building body mass and who is trimming down. The AFL are going just a tad too far in some directions but not protecting the most important aspect the head. Quite weird if you ask me.!!

In fact, the AFL's decision is all about the head, or, at least, what goes on inside it. The AFL believes not publishing player weights may be beneficial to some players' mental health. I'm not convinced, but I assume the AFL has had specialist advice which supports this decision. 

 

Hope Blake has a very good game in a Dees win and gets the confidence to go onto a fine career with us.

Really glad to see us push him into the 22. We lucked out with McVee - not everyone progresses like that. So he needs time and what a backline to develop in?!


Probably the inclusion I'm most excited about tonight. Versatility and high ceiling. Glad his moment is finally here.

He was the player I most wanted to see debut this year for the progression of the list.

I wasn't so sure after his pre season form.

Wow what a great debut in a tough game, in a tough role under the pump. 

Here are his team rankings in some key stats.

1st intercept possessions 9

5th equal contested possessions 9

6th disposal efficiency 82.4%

6th equal most tackles 3

8th equal most disposals. 17

11th Uncontested possessions 9

12th most metres gained 224

20th game time.  (Take into account Laurie was subbed off, Bowey went off injured, Billings was only the sub)

 

 

 

The kid was very good. I only hope Howes can have an injury free season as he should become a regular first team player.


Great debut, Blake. Well done.

Let's hope he slots in like McVee did last year, got faith he can! 🙏 👌

Hasn’t exactly been banging the door down, but I hope he goes well. 

He needs to add another 10kg of muscle to his frame, before he starts impacting games the way we want him to.

what? hes been banging the door down, he was emergency 3 times last year and was getting picked before injury

Would have played last year, but injured his hand on the eve of being selected.

I've listened to both episodes of Benny Gibson's podcast and it has been really good!

Also won the signed Kade Chandler poster so that was also pretty cool 😆

Impressive kid. 
 

I loved how hard he ran to create space and how calm he seems under duress. Good to see some class pushing through the ranks.


I’ll admit had serious doubts on whether he would transition to AFL level footy but in his two games to date has been a worthy addition 

Hopefully he continues to build confidence and strength - his disposal efficiency is certainly a real bonus 

Has slotted in nicely.

Goes to show the value of being patient with youngsters. They come on at different rates and it looks like blake needed a little longer to get ready for AFL footy.

MFC development philosophy and approach vindicated again. 

Wot a ripper, good luck to the young fella.

Great start to his career, keep it up.

 

Thought this guy might have lacked intensity and was a bit flaky in the contest…. Boy was I wrong. 
I am sorry Blake! 
 

PS… can’t wait to apologise to Jeffo.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
