I wonder if Port got their ruling on the academy player because they know Rogan is going to choose us?

they would’ve got it regardless, free hit at elite talent for nothing

We will have to do a Gold Coast and stock pile picks for Justice,Rodan,Bewick

Nah pretty sure they’ll all discover their previously unknown indigenous heritage by the time their draft years roll around.

Going by the footage of Justice at training he already looks to have added filled his frame out a little bit.

Would be nice to have the first players of Iraqi, Vietnamese and Indonesian descent all at the club.

(It might make up for the fact we won’t have any indigenous players when Gresham is delisted.)

That size under 17! Phwoar!
Still with a bit of growing to do, he is going to be a fully fledged unit by the time we get to draft him.

Will hopefully have some middling pieces to sell off for draft capital in 2027.

Similar to the suns with Flanders

For anyone interested, Enhanced Football on Instagram has posted a bunch of recent Blake Justice training clips. You can see exactly what I noticed in his Noober videos , his kicking is elite. Flat, quick, and a bit Mark Waugh like, with really nice and effortless touch.

Are we certain to get him if we want him? Or are we still expecting rule changes this year that will stop us?

I’d say no issues in getting him, will just have to pay closer to market price than years ago.

Blake Justice will be on our pod as guest next week

That’s your lock he’ll be playing in red & black next year. Pod running at 100% of players we wanted*, that were on the pod that we end up drafting.

*Obviously W Duursma was on the pod… but… you know… we wanted Robey & Sharp over him?
