I watched the last scratch match. Blakey showed the full range from amazing to fumbly and crap. Especially in heavy traffic he seems to be nervous about the bodies around him and is very fumbly. When he was able to get clear he was very good with a penetrating left foot. Contested marking which should be his forte was also poor. I think he has previously relied on being bigger than his opponents. At AFL level he doesn’t have this advantage and is struggling a bit.

They figured out a way to turn Hayward's form and confidence around, including a change of position. Lets see if they can "fix" Blakey?Comment

Still not sold on COR, hope he proves me wrong.
You look at players and wonder if we would regret losing them, i couldnt see COR getting a game anywhere else
All the others, in and out of the side for their inconsistency, you could easily say they would be picked up and be valauable....... but i did think that about Jed Lamb tooComment

BTW Tom Harley said on SEN that Will Gould had a good game in the practice game last week.

Good point, and when he first made it into the 1st's he was playing in more freewheeling manner.Comment

I hope the favouritism that Blakey seems to be afforded doesn’t put any noses out of joint. Must be frustrating to some other guys who don’t get afforded the same level of leniency on performance, or the lower standard required to win back their spot.
Whether it’s anything to do with his Dad being there who knows, most likely not, but it would be human nature for some to assume that is a factor.
