If you think Will Brodie is doing it tough to get a spot in the team at the moment, spare a thought for Connor Blakely. He was a pure inside midfielder who was trying to break into a team with Fyfe, Mundy and Neale ahead of him!
I thought it was an interesting move to send him to half back, and while he won a fair bit of the ball there (he always had good hands and was steady over the ball), he probably didn't have the right combination of pace, skill or defensive prowess to make it work in a good team in defence.
He cracked a top 10 in the Doig at least once from memory, so he could obviously play. I reckon with another club he would have got a better run at it.
