Blake Kelly was one of the WAFL Colts' best on-ballers this year, averaging 26 disposals a game for Swan Districts. A victim of WA’s stacked midfield, Kelly was at times pushed forward at representative level, where his superlative ground ball skills and competitive streak made him a useful option. 

In a superb outing late in the year, the dogged Swan District's midfielder almost single-handedly propelled his side into the second week of the WAFL Colts finals series. It was a late reminder of his potential to play as a genuine on-baller at the next level, setting the tone for his side at the source. 

While combative on the inside, Kelly has had to work hard to boost his hurt factor on the outside. He is prone to rushing his disposals due to the high-intensity style of footy he plays, impacting his effectiveness by foot. But when the ball is in his sights, he is a fearsome competitor and you know what you're going to get from him each week.

DRAFT RANGE: Late/Rookie
