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

Herald Sun had him listed in their team of the round!

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..

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
