At last ...

Fcuk Sam has got some speed!!! He is going to love playing on the MCG regularly.

Just loved his game, it was a bright spark in a very hard year...I hope the Form of Blease helps Tom Scully remain in town....very close those 2 i hear.

Well done Sam....no more kick to kick in the backyard though!!!

    Can someone explain why it's taken so long for him to get a senior game?

    Um geez hard one, maybe it was the broken leg or maybe the lack of fitness, or it might have been the largely uninspiring VFL form until midway through this year. Tough to tell really.

    Badly Broken legs need very careful management-His was a bad break.

    Strauss will be very similiar...6 months before he can resume training...then you must rebuild muscle that has literally wasted away...

    Long Job. I have had dealings with Physio Therapy.

    Great stuff about Blease.

    He has many of the attributes that this side is lacking. He is part of the exciting young group we have going forward.

    I look forward to 2012

    Last bit is correct I think.

    I saw him 3 times early in the season and he looked anything but an AFL standard player.

    However he has slowly come on as the season progressed.

    I have to keep reminding myself he had a very serious injury and was out for the best part of 1.5 seasons.

    2011 has really been his first full season since being drafted.

    Nice to see Blease given the nomination. We was close to BOG for us against the Suns.

    He has had a number of setbacks, but he certainly looks like he belongs at the top level.

    I realise he was out for ages recovering from a very serious broken leg, but my query was really about why he's been playing at Casey for a while now, instead of with the seniors. Anyway, it doesn't matter now. I don't expect he'll play for Casey much (if ever) in the future.

    Frank Adams exit stage left (1964), Sam Blease enter stage right (2011).

    So true Bushy....Blease WANTS the ball, he is not frightened to get in there.

    His attitude is needed around the ground....On saturday he reminded me of a Turbo Charged Jordie Mckenzie, as if Jordie had gone to the HSV performance workshop!!!

    Due to the above ,Sam had lost a great deal of confidence- but to win a nomination like this in his 3rd game must surely set himself up big time with a huge pre season for 2012. Great stuff Sammy.

    Great news and well deserved after all his injury setbacks.

    This kid is gonna be a star!

    It would be all about confidence i am guessing RB....Blease is in the side for speed...a broken leg takes all that away.....for a time.

    But he certainly let it rip from centre half back a few times last saturday!!!

    He will be right to go now for a full pre season.

    Think I've mentioned on here, mate from work knows him and doesn't like him, reckons he's up himself.

    I don't give a rat's. If he keeps jetting like he did Sunday, he can be the biggest [censored] in the world but he's OURS.

    Stoked for Blease. Slightly off topic, does anyone know what his nickname is? I've started calling him Geez, as that is what I kept saying every time he took off for another blistering run up the guts :)

    And dare I say, looking to be more of a beast than Scully! GWS may be re thinking there decision haha

    ... and not just with Blease either. The whole team is lacking in it. So much of footy at this level is about what's going on upstairs.

    Well done Sam.

    Sam Blease playing well and Jack Trengove signing will get me to next year. Let's hope the rest of the club can follow their lead. Pace, Determination, Will to succeed and COMMITMENT to the Red and Blue.

    I love this bloke, not just his speed but his attack on the ball and his confidence to take the game on.

    Have heard time and time again that a broken leg is a two year + injury and thats about where Sammy is at.

    I really enjoyed the catch cries in a fearly dull crowd on Sunday, every time he got the ball the crowd lifted "RUN SAMMY"

    He is going to thrill and provide alot of great moments for our club for a long time to come.

    Good on you Sammy......Keep Running!!

    Blease Lightning! Not a very practical footy nickname (I'll bet the boys have gone with the ever so creative "Bleasey") but it's what I think every time he jets off. That, and that "sneeze" sound cars with nitro make.

    Haha, nice one. Think I'll stick with my 'Geez" though. Still got me buggered how he runs and weaves and leaves all in his wake. Brings a smile to my dial just typing this :)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
