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.

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 ???

Forums are all about opinions so don't be a [censored] and offer one from time to time.

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...

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
