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

And, possibly, number #6 may become available for another star ranga in 2012 ??????

Not sure that he is quite as quick (relative, 2010s vs 1950s) as Frank Bluey, multi Premiership player, but pretty bloody fast.

Pretty sure Blease will be holding out for no. 17, and that will also be why it has been warehoused for the last few seasons.

Yep, Sam wore 17 in juniors and his late father also wore the number.

It holds quite a lot of significance for him, but obviously the club wanted him to earn it too.

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 call him Engrish, aka Sam Breeze, cause he's as fast as the wind

Considering his setback his done well just to actually win a spot in the seniors let alone contribute the way he has. Love watching him play

Well done Sam Blease. Some satisfaction and reward for his hard work to get back.

I'd like to see Brett Lovett present him with the "17" if it has been 'warehoused' for him. The run off half back by Lovett from down back and his shrugging of his hips to evade tacklers was great stuff to watch. I really liked Brett Lovett as a footballer.

Some have described Blease as 'cocky' and 'sure of himself' - I like that in a footballer. Air of confidence is a breath of fresh air for this team.

I'm a big fan of the 'stuff you, I'll take you on and win' mentality.

Loved the cries of 'BLEEEEEEASE' everytime he got the footy on saturday too. Started with only a couple of blokes, by the 4th everyone in my bay was doing it. Like the old cries of 'ooooze' when Yze used to get it..

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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,
