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.

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???
