What an absolute sweetie! Shy and humble as ever. Hardly changed at all.

Reckon he hasn't stopped smiling since 1999 either.
So glad he ended up at the Saints.

Excellent work finding that footage SainterK. Blakey has always been a dedicated Sainter and to see that vision brought a little tear to my eye. Good Luck for Sunday Blakey and Go The MIGHTY SAINTS

Re: Aww too cute, Jason Blake the day he was drafted :)
Played well for Sandy last Sunday wearing number 81.
Did a few characteristic big thumps to emphatically send dangerous balls out of play.
Always seemed to be in the right place.
Then they rested him on the bench for the last quarter.
So he's all primed and ready for 200.

Re: Aww too cute, Jason Blake the day he was drafted :)
My fave Blake memory is in 2009, when the fans gathered for the training before the GF. As each player ran onto the field they got a cheer. When Blakey ran out, he got a really big one, humble guy that he is...he turned around to see who ran down, then blushed when he realised it was for him.
Shame his 200th isn't in Melb to give him a big cheer. Great thing with technology, we can still congratulate him via twitter. Just an idea, those of us online, how about starting a hashtag #lovetheblake and sending him messages?

Great idea SainterK.
But you'll have to take me through it step by step.
I do have a phone and a twitter account so you can start at step three

TImmy remembers
http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default ... medium=RSS
http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default ... medium=RSS
As fate would have it, Watson was Blake's first AFL coach, albeit only for a year.
It is 12 years since Watson left the Saints but he said he only had fond memories of the teenager trying to make his way in the AFL world.
"He was a good kid, Jason, he was always diligent. He wanted to work hard and he was no trouble at all as a young player," Watson told the AFL Record.
Watson's involvement in the AFL these days is as a media commentator and as parent of Essendon captain Jobe. But he says he still takes particular interest in the players he had a hand in recruiting to St Kilda in his two years at the club.
"You keep an eye on them probably more acutely than you do other players," he said.
"He has played a lot of football, Jason. He's done a really good job and he's been able to adapt to different roles. The thing that really stood out for him in the bits and pieces we uncovered about him was how big an engine he had for a guy of his size. He had an elite midfield engine so he was always going to be able to adapt in a physical sense to the modern game."
For so long a consistent, certain selection in St Kilda's side, Blake carries the unwanted record of the most AFL games played without winning a single Brownlow vote, even though some of his performances were more than worthy over the past 12 years.
