SNAPSHOT: “A classy midfielder who darts out of traffic and carves up opposition defences with his foot skills.” – Michael Alvaro
A long-time gun of the South Australian talent pathway, Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier paved his way through adversity this year. The North Adelaide midfielder sustained a shoulder injury in preseason which threatened to derail his campaign, but ultimately only cost him an interrupted start to season proper. He went from strength-to-strength thereafter, earning dual senior promotions and running out a full state championships.
Oudshoorn-Bennier came into his top-age year with quite the reputation. He played back-to-back carnivals in the state Under 16 side and was included in last year’s Under 18 squad without playing a game. The now 18-year-old also captained North Adelaide as a bottom-ager and made his Reserves debut on the back of 17 outstanding junior performances, notching 26 disposals, eight marks and six clearances.
Backing up as captain for the Roosters in 2025, Oudshoorn-Bennier was one of just three players to have a 100 per cent attendance rate in the state preseason program, before going down with injury upon returning to North. He got back onto the park in Round 5 of the Under 18 season and improved with every game, building into the National Championships to help South Australia take out the title undefeated.
The Port Adelaide supporter, who moulds his game on the likes of Zak Butters and Nick Daicos, was then allowed to build on his Reserves experience with four appearances. They were middled by a pair of League games, with Oudshoorn-Bennier debuting in Round 18. He returned to the twos to run out a top-age season which almost ended before it began, playing a part in the Roosters’ finals campaign.
STRENGTHS:
+ Class
+ Clean hands
+ Kicking power
+ Leadership
+ Side-step
+ Speed
IMPROVEMENTS:
- Defensive transition
- Strength
Oudshoorn-Bennier is a midfielder with weapons, and one who looks stylish while carving up the opposition. His base is in midfield, where he collects the ball one-touch with fast reflexes before darting out of congestion in a flash. The North Adelaide prospect prides himself on his reaction time and does a power of work on his fundamentals, which lends to such deft touch at the contest and clean ground level extraction.
His speed was exhibited at the National Draft Combine, where he ran the 20m sprint in 2.98 seconds. Oudshoorn-Bennier is not just quick in a straight line, but also possesses a sharp side-step and great vision to find space before taking off. He tends to play in bursts, using his acceleration to drive forward and link up with teammates. He either distributes by hand or looks further afield to find a kick heading inside 50.
Oudshoorn-Bennier's kicking is another trait which sets him apart. His delivery is flat and penetrative, able to pick apart opposition defences and hit targets through crowded areas. The youngster's first kick at League level comes to mind, where he seared the ball inside 50 from the edge of the arc to find a leading target. It's something he has sought to make a serious weapon this year, especially when breaking from packs.
Among the intangible traits Oudshoorn-Bennier possesses is his leadership. He captained North Adelaide's Under 18 side from a bottom-ager through to his draft year, setting standards with his professionalism. At risk of highlighting it ad nauseam, Oudshoorn-Bennier led by example this year with his ability to push through a serious shoulder injury, showing great resilience to extract the maximum out of his season.
There remain areas for improvement, too. The man himself has outlined defensive transition as something to work on, showing decent tackling intent but perhaps needing to enhance his accountability both at and away from stoppage. Similarly, he wears contact well but isn't necessarily a crash-and-bash type, so could add strength to be held up less often through congestion. Otherwise, he keeps his hands free quite well.
Despite making slick contributions on the inside, Oudshoorn-Bennier does much of his damage on the outside. He's a classy and polished type, capable of hurting the opposition when allowed to use his weapons. He could do so more often - even on self reflection - by utilising his kicking more than his hands. That was particularly evident during the National Championships, where he averaged 5.3 kicks and 9.5 handballs per game.
