Blakely "looks' like a replacement for Mundy, but geez,his kicking would have to improve by over 800% to be anywhere close to Mundy.
And if, by the time Mundy retires, we have not found/created another 'elite kick' running midfielder, well, it 'll be a blight on the crecruiting and coaching department.
At the moment, I'd be rating kicking skill above just about everything else....we are that deficient in that area...
Thats where The Owl comes in. He - at u18 - level is an elite kick. It'll be interesting to see if that remains, or, whether RoLy has just made him into a tackler....
