Blake Howes

After patiently spending two years on the list waiting to get his opportunity, the young defender made up for lost time with a very impressive debut campaign in 2024. Despite a stint in the VFL in the middle of the year, he became a solid member of the backline for the most part in his 16 senior games. This is the last year of his contract, but he should earn a new deal.
