Arguably the face of draft hopefuls out of the VFL this year, Blamires has the backing of his Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal win - the last 18 recipients have gone on to make the top level. He played a variety of roles this season but earned his Team of the Year spot at half-back, where his running capacity shines. He has now brought his ball use and decision making up to a similar level. Blamires played every game for Frankston in 2025 after crossing from Sandringham Zebras, averaging 24.5 disposals. He's a graduate of the prolific Sandringham Dragons program, where he was an over-ager in 2021.
