Is anyone aware of what is wrong with Sam Blease and why is not included at Casey one's or two's this week? Same for Stef Martin but more concerned with Blease.

Blease had shin soreness last week and Martin must be injured.

  • 2 weeks later...

Spoke to a mate of Sams the other night, said he has a bit of fluid in his shin, won't be playing for 3 or so weeks.

Martin played an average game mostly in attack. I suspect unfortunately Sam Bleeze's injury is worse than he or the Club had hoped

Today...

Martin played today with the Casey seniors & went OK, but is coming back from some time off & a big drop of confidence it seems. Don't fret, he's a winner & will be back to his best in good time. IMO going through a patch of self searching, he'll come out stronger.

I think Sam is due back Next Week.

Did he back up ruck, I think that is his best chance at making it and with Spencer out after Johnson fails again (sorry PJ I love you big man but you've been disappointing since 2008) the spot could be his. He needs to get it and hold it!

From what i have heard from some people at Casey Big stef could be closer to a spell at Casey 2's than the Demons.

Not a good sign, i have said it before but he was a shining light in defence for us last year, IMO this is his spot as he is pretty 1 dimensional. As for Blease forget this year get his body right and aim for a string pre-season and a debut early next season.

Was it some other Johnson named in the best for Casey then?

He can play forward, but he's lost confidence & will learn to fight back from this downer he's on.

I think what he needs is to be kept from AFL for some time to play @ VFL level. This is definitely a level he can handle whilst trying to learn the forward caper, but I reckon he needs to stay put with Casey while he develops.

Putting him up into the AFL, He coped well in defence, also pinch hitting in the ruck last year, he did some very nice work, but has struggled this year, I think from the forward plan. Plus whatever else is going on.

He's a great reader of the ball inflight, has a very good leap, & really good hands. He's got the body to play CHF @ VFL... But leave him there for 6 weeks, please. Gotchy, do you read this stuff???

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
