Lachlan Blakiston

After years of good form as a ruck in the WAFL, Blakiston has been utilised in defence since joining the Dons via the Mid-Season Rookie Draft. His versatility at 203cm provides plenty of room for development, despite coming in as a mature-ager. Competitive in the air and loves to take the game on.
