    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

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.

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.

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...

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
