Maybe replace the word 'improve' with 'recover' and such petty misunderstandings can be avoided in the future... sheeesh!!

It is such a shame because his pace was his one of his major attributes before he done his leg. Assuming he fully recouperates from it the only thing we have lost is a season with him. He will get a chance to justify his selection 17?? so I will look forward to that. This kid could be our Matera.

David Wojinski had a bad break and not sure of all the details but he has definately not lost any pace. Blease still has time to get his confidence in it back too. I think he will show his potential, whatever that is going to be, maybe by the end of next year and into 2012. If all else goes well.

Hmmmmn.

Does anyone remember a bloke called Garry Lyon, you might know from that footage where he is being carried from the Whitten Oval with a BROKEN LEG in his FIRST season of football.

He turned out alright....I think.

Come on johnny boy, you'll believe anything I tell you...

Antiquated coach or not, those words and phrases still mean the same thing.

This is what I read into it Enforcer, As I've said in previous Blease threads. I believe this kid will struggle to make the grade at AFL level solely because he broke his leg and his game is built on speed, run and breaking lines. Seasoned AFL players rarely come back from seriously broken legs let alone skinny kids yet to play senior footy. I hate to say and I mean this I really hate it but I think we have lost out on a No.18 pick. Shoot me down at will, I hope I'm wrong.

BTW I know he's young and has time on his side.

He's lost none of his pace. If you'd actually bothered to follow what's going on at the club, rather than just blurting whatever idiotic thought comes into your head you'd know that...

I agree.

It sounds like speculation by someone who hasn't actually seen him play this year, but is going by the reports that his form hasn't been fantastic.

I think you're being a bit generous there... anyway, i'm looking forward to seeing him next year. He's exciting and I reckon he'll add another dimension to our midfield if he can stay fit.

The club has nursed him along well IMO. I don't think it's difficult to imagine the FD have very high hopes for Blease and him being part of the 'aspiring' premiership side. This year has been about getting time into that leg and there is no reason to believe he couldn't come back as well as his talent allows.

There are no guarantees on him, broken leg or not.

The pins out & a full pre-season and we can judge him on what will be, essentially, his first season.

For once in my life- I have to agree with you on all counts.But you are still a *blank*.

You might as well point out that Max Gawn will have to "improve dramatically to make it", too.

He is a slight, physically undeveloped kid, coming back from a monstrous injury setback. His form in the VFL has apparently been solid without being outstanding, with the occasional good game, like the one against the Gold Coast. To expect his output to even remotely measure up to what is required at AFL level is patently absurd, and so to point out that his performances have been a long way from AFL standard is absolutely pointless.

Similar to Blease.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Two Sheds wasn't talking about Gawn being a skinny undeveloped teenager who showed flashes against the GoldCoast.

He was referring to Blease.

I think this is where the confusion lies.

I believe Blease will be a very good player for the MFC. I see a very clear team role for him.

I have less concerns about him than I do about some of our other higher profile recruits.

Remember that he played a lot of part games in VFL reserves (in which he did well and looked a class above) before dipping his toe in at Casey seniors. It was never about this year for him. From what I saw of him he looks every bit an AFL player.

Daytona rather than just attacking an opinion how about offering something yourself !! Far from idiotic but rather a fairly well informed opinion, I have followed Sam Blease quite closely since he was drafted from Norwood. I have nearly watched all his ressies games at Casey live HAVE YOU ???

One of the problems with a democratic society is that flogs are allowed to express an opinion no matter how little knowledge they have of the subject at hand.

The other problem is that they're entitled to vote.

Yeah, I did say something.

You don't have a clue. You're, as they say, clueless.

If you'd watched any of his games this year you'd see his pace and athleticism is intact, merely he is taking a while to get back up to speed after a year out of the game at a young age.

Nothing out of the usual there.

Having also suffered a similar injury to Sam, I happen to know what the recovery is like.

Having the pins removed will make a big difference.

I'd say beyond offering a terribbly uneducated opinion, you've offered very little else.

Like, for argument's sake, some facts to back up your inflammatory opinion..?

You're the only one in this thread who thinks Blease's career is over.

That makes you pretty special...

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
