Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir says midfielder Connor Blakely is here to stay after making a strong AFL return on Sunday.Blakely was overlooked for Fremantle's first eight games of the season despite the club's long injury list and persistent calls to include him in the team.The 24-year-old was finally given his chance on Sunday, and he shone with 23 disposals and three clearances in the club's shock 12-point win over Collingwood in Perth.When asked whether Blakely had a point to prove and would now stay in the side, Longmuir replied: "Absolutely he's there for a bit. Fremantle's 10.1 (61) to 7.7 (49) win over Collingwood was their gutsiest effort of the season.
Clearly he's got some work to do in certain areas of his game, but I loved his attitude. "I said to him during the week that he's a better footballer now than what he was eight weeks ago without having played AFL football, and that's because of his attitude.
