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.

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.

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 :)

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 :)

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
