Sam Blease

A little surprised and disappointed that all of our new recruits and a couple of rookies have been named in the side to play Brisbane - but Sam Blease has not.

He is not listed amongst the injured players nor amongst those being rested. The silence is deafening!

This suggests he is still a long way from where he needs to be. It is about 2 years since he he broke he broke his leg. Surely there is a big question mark over his future.

If anyone has some specific news ... please pass it on - because he certainly is/was(?) an exciting prospect

 

I would rather they manage his load now thsn throw him to the wolves and have him break down again.

Have faith and patience......they know what they're doing.

 

We've been counselled in the past to remain patient and that is what we must do. Coaches expect a disciplined approach from players both on and off the ground and that applies to the patience needed in following the scientific requirements when it comes to recovery from injury. Perhaps it's only fair that supporters adopt the same levels of discipline when it comes to our players too. You never know, the wait might be worthwhile

Agree with this.... and hope you are right

Just a bit surprising that he wasn't named in press release which detailed the injured players .. and those being rested

Terrible terrible thread.

Reading into things that arent even there.

Not at all ..... just asking a question.

Maybe the club thought that it would be better for Sam to have a full run at Casey this week, he had his taste in Adelaide now it is time for him to build some form against lesser opposition get his confidence up playing well and hoepfully he can continue this into the start of the VFL season and press for AFL selection. Tapscott will be the same a taste tomorrow more than likely back to Casey next week.

 

I am just as happy for Sam to make his debut coming off the interchange bench at the 'G sometime this year...

A Huge roar will welcome him as we have all followed his story from the schoolyard.

Patience, the break in his leg was a bad one....He will make it, with the same pace he had before.

Terrible terrible thread.

Yep. Unnecessary.


Sam is going to be one of those players that comes in round 4 and makes an impact. I can see no cloud over his future, he looks every bit a player that would be drafted early.

It will take some time, but Blease will be a lock in this team by seasons end.

Got to manage his workload, even if he is fit and ready to play, he needs to take small steps to get where he needs to go.

Regular season is king!

Inclined to agreee, patience is the key. For mine only a lack of fitness will stop him being a good league footballer.

If it is a blessing better the broken leg now than at an age where it is very difficult to recover completely. See Nathan Brown amongst others.

Sam is still very young & patience is surely key. He IS an exciting prospect still & plenty to look forward to from him.

I agree 'dandee', but I thing we all need to remember thats it's not that he's been on the list for 2 Yrs. He hasn't had the opportunity Yet, to play much senior age footy, even @ Casey. So I think he should be @ least @ casey for 10 weeks, amongst the men. He's not much out of U-18's, playing experience wise. So IMO he Will make a big impact for us in the future, but we need to stay patient, & no doubt, Keep him patient as well.

i believe morton had played 40 odd games in his first two years at the club...blease has played none in his first two years...now both players 'arguably' need big years to hold there spot.

Dare i say Sam's greatest contribution at the moment is his close friendship with Sculs. IT ALL HELPS !

You are kidding....?... Surely.

There needs to be a stupidity ban imposed on demonland......

The guy has just made his way back from a badly broken leg, he misses a couple of pre season games with a cork and some of you are calling for his head. Get a grip people! Maybe think a little bit before you post..

Sam suffered a cork at training last week, Being rested for the Brisbane game.

That's the sort of information I was hoping to get. Thankyou J-Riv

If that had been on the injury or resting list... I wouldn't have started the thread in the first place! Good luck Sam

Somehow everyone must have missed it....but Sam was named for Casey Yesterday and played a fine game against Box Hill.....

It was thought that he would gain more from a full run with Casey than a half or so against Brisbane yesterday....

I wish this was posted at the start of this thread to stop all the misundertsanding and rubbish that followed!!!

Go Sam, this young man has been through hell and back the last couple of years. I hope now things are looking for Sam and he starts to enjoy his time at the club. Can't wait to see him in the red and the blue. :wub:

I posted that up the top, you have to understand some on this site want to rush the development of our young players. It was common sense for Sam have a good hit out and gain confidence at a lower level. It will be the same with Tapscott he will go back to Casey next week get another run and hopefully come round 4 or 5 both Sam and Luke have the form to force there way into the team.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
