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!!!

The kid will be a gun.

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.

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 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 :)

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
