OMR's Crystal Ball - SAM BLEASE


Old Man Rivers

Recommended Posts

Knowing the emotional journey this kid has been on over the past 5 years I thought it would be a nice to revisit

his meeting with The Prez when he 1st arrived @ the club.

I've seen a few other threads about Blease and reckon you could have used them to revisit the topic; I thought it was grandstanding.

Rogue - Some interesting reading in your homework, not sure what provoked your attack however has been noted.

Your assertion that you were an Oracle prompted it; I wondered whether you perhaps really were an Oracle, so I clicked on your list of posts and looked at the first page of results.

Sadly you're not - I was going to ask for the tatts numbers - but it's all tongue-in-cheek so I hope you took it that way.

As I said in that very post, I'm no oracle; I gave the McLean example as one I got very wrong.

So what do both of you actually think of the form of Sam Blease in the past 3 weeks?

I've commented on this in other threads. In a word, promising. If there were two words, I'd add 'very'.

Geez, you fair lined him up, Rogue? Something get you shirty enough to come off the long run?

Haha, not at all. I honestly can't even remember reading a prior post from OMR. I just took the same view as Thomo:

You did not start this thread to discuss Blease, you started it to congratulate yourself.

From the reaction I get that my post might have been a bit harsh, but that wasn't the intention.

Fwiw, Rogue has been looking forward to seeing Sam Blease ply his trade at AFL level. Yesterday's game would have put a smile-on-the-dial, no doubt.

Absolutely; it was great. The crowd reaction when he went for a few runs seemed to indicate I wasn't alone.

Steady on!

If you're going to set yourself up as the Oracle you've got to embrace your other calls too.

Let's take a trip down memory lane with Oracle Man Rivers:

How about we start with Chris Johnson?

.......

That said, your hit rate is probably as good as Nostradamus.

NB. I've made incorrect calls - I was all sorts of wrong on McLean - but I also don't start up threads boasting that I'm the oracle :P

*Stands and applauds*

Awesome detective work Rogue. Ouch.

Rogue & especially little Mr Fushcia

Thanks for the negative response to what was a light hearted attempt @ higlighting the scintalating form of Sam Blease

in what has been a dark year for our great club.

Mr Fushcia - You just enjoy going about sucking the life out of everything you come in contact with your bullsh_t Wisdom quotes.

Highlight Blease's form not your own. ;)

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
