Blake to miss grand final?

Blake had a bad game so what,he has been better than King all year other wise if King was better he have benn in the 22 its that simple.

Was he not in the 2's due to injury.

Partly but if he could not crack a game until now IMHO he doesnt deserve it.

He wasn't considered ready until last week,

Very tought for the kid, I imagine that would be very hard to get over.... but... I can see the reason for inclusion of King just on form alone, isn't he coming off a (near if not) BOG performance in the VFL Grand Final? I think I read he had around 20 disposals, a goal or two and 30 HOs? Proves a point you can run out a game.

I think this comment is particularly pertinent.

Nice Bomber, you have let this kid down, he trains his heart out, plays his heart out in the VFL / AFL throughout 2007 and then misses the opportunity to play in either of the two Grand Finals, this kid will be shattered. Posted by: Barry of melbourne 7:54am today

I dont think he should be considering he has played all 22rnds this year.

Blake was left out for rds 19 and 20.

King makes sense when Lade is so important for Port.

Tough call, I know how he feels. When I played 18's I played all year and 2 finals (in an undefeated team) and the coach saw fit to dump me for the GF for a bloke who's knees were shot and could barely raise a gallop.
