Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
By Stephen RiellyOctober 29, 2004Jason Blake may take his career to Hawthorn or Richmond if, as seems likely, he leaves St Kilda and joins teammate and fellow ruckman Trent Knobel in the national or pre-season draft.The Tigers and Hawks both declared their interest in the 23-year-old yesterday as it became apparent to a number of clubs that after five years and 59 games, Blake was more likely than not to depart Moorabbin.Richmond director of football Greg Miller said Blake was being considered by the Tigers, who, being set on a ruckman in the pre-season draft, are also paying attention to Knobel and one-time Tiger and former Collingwood ruckman Steve McKee."Jason is one, certainly," Miller said. "We understand that he hasn't signed and might be looking for a change. I think he could definitely help us."Richmond and Hawthorn hold the first two picks in the pre-season draft and are therefore able to offer Blake, who played 19 games this year, a guaranteed path to a new future.
