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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
