A strongly built key defender, Blight was plucked from Peel Thunder, where he was dominating at WAFL level.

He vaulted onto the AFL radar with an impressive performance for the WAFL against the SANFL with 17 disposals and seven intercept marks.

He averaged 18.4 disposals, 8.7 marks and 3.9 rebounds in seven Thunder games before being picked up and bettered that at the Tigers with 19.3, 7.1 and 6.3 while making three AFL appearances (12 disposals, five marks) as well.

Looks like a player Richmond can build its new-look backline around.
