Do you know Sam??

Sam's mother is a very good friend of my wife. So, I get all the 'goss about Sam virtually first hand.

As I said in the post, Sam is very keen to be promoted to the senior VFL team. He has had a lot of chats

with DB in recent weeks. DB wants to move things along very cautiously. The injury last year was very serious.

    Anybody have a time frame on how far away is Blease from the Casey senior side?

    3 weeks

    Really?

    That kinda sucks. But he was picked with a long-term view in mind so another 3 weeks isn't that long a period, but I do want to see him pushing for AFL selection before the end of the year. As others have said, this kid would slot into our team beautifully, and I'm sure I read a report last year that he was quicker over 20 metres than Davey is.

    Was Sam's injury sustained at school? Can't remember if this was his or Strauss'.

    U reckon he is mates with teh bloke that has potentially stuffed his AFL career?

    Yes Blease. Not Strauss.

    I walked passed Sam in the Casey car park. I was leaving at half time of the 1s. I asked him how he went and said he got through OK and said his leg was fine. Surprising to hear he may have an injury. Maybe he lied to me.

    He may have felt that way then, the day after might be a little different. This is nothing out of the ordinary.

    Really no reason for concern on Blease. Remember he's only first year out of school as well. There's nothing negative about a player who doesn't get a game until his 2nd year out of school, it's extremely common, particularly considering Sammy is a very small bloke.

    blease is 184cm, 70kg:

    same height as green but only slightly heavier than bennell, even without the leg injury i'm not sure he would have had much impact this year

    Having watched him at TAC U/18's, his style reminded me much of a young skinny David King. Plenty of pace. Would compliment the side very well and would trouble most opponents.

    That's a pretty interesting call.

    I really liked King.

    Blease doesn't strike me as quite as 'tough', but you did say a young and skinny King.

    If he can give us the same type of run North got from King I think I'll be happy.

    Watching Blease play you'd suggest he has more talent in his index finger than King. Strange comparison really. 2 totally different players. one a pacy grunt, the other a sleek, pacy, super skilled young Demon!! :)

    Yeah, King is a strange comparison.

    I think you'd be looking at someone like Stephen Hill at Freo

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
