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 :)

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 :)

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
