For mine, I would rather have the ball turned over inside our 50 by a bloke who could get the footy, than in the guts by a bloke who couldn't get it.
Blakely would benefit from not having Peaches out there not getting on the end of his disposals, and would also be a good chance of getting the footy back when it comes back into the middle from his poor disposal (oh, I can see this could lead to even lower scoring games, but WTH, lets just try it)
