Good depth which has a good ceiling that can make him a regular 22 player.

Initially showed McVee’esque compusre which later disappeared after some inconsistency in performance. Hopefully more game time , learning of craft and fitness bodes well for him.

A good signing

I feel Blake still has a bit more development to go before he starts hitting his straps but you can see the talent there

I’m not convinced playing back is his best position but hopefully he can become that hybrid third tall/flanker type that can intercept but still take the game on with a bit of run and dash

 

Did Damian Barrett say it’s ok? 🙄

Good signing. Club rates Howes highly. Has plenty of improvement in him

Now need to get Judd signed. He remains OOC.

Shown enough to warrant an extension

Should spend some time in the gym to add some bulk. Gets pushed out of the road too easily


Another good signing for MFC Blake has the talent, skills and the size to make it at AFL level and agree with BDA needs to build greater strength, the confidence will come with more game time.

Staying with the Dees is a “No-Brainer.”

Love this kid ♥️💙

Rate him highly. Was stiff to get dropped earlier on but I felt like his performance on the weekend was solid.

Great for our future.

Can you please tell Judd to get a move on?!

😂

A good re-signing. I’m not sure he is a backman. Would like to see him off a wing or forward.

Got huge scope.

they've clearly determined that he can play that small / forward combo roll down back, sort of like hibberd

personally i don't see howes having the impact in the air or via his boot that i would like to see from this sort of player

at vfl level he looks so composed and assured; yet to translate to afl level

I instinctively like him, think he can develop into a solid versatile defender. Unlikely to be a superstar but neither are a great many players who build 200-game careers and are part of important moments.

I think it does translate to AFL. Not every moment of every match but he does enough right to be very close to best 22.

I think Blake has some solid AFL qualities. Not exclusively in the backline, but also as a winger or potential HF. I’m not sure where he will finally settle, but very confident that his time as a regular is not too far away. Good signing imo.

He's still quite raw but he's a solid athlete, a good size and most importantly a willing competitor. His first few games were really impressive before his form tapered off but there's definitely something there.

Apparently there were a few teams interested in him, so I'm glad we were able to lock him in for a few more seasons. The last thing we need is to see another fringe player thrive in different colours before we've really gotten a chance to see what they can do.

A handy fringe player. His biggest issue is lack of confidence, still scared to move the footy on quickly.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
