Sam Blease - Round 23 Rising Star

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    Why? (curiousity)

    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

    I thought it's announced Tuesday?

    Yeah wheres the confirmation? I thought it was announced Tuesday morning? I would of thought competition would be stiff this week with Butcher and Gunston playing good games as well.

    The boys at the club call him the extremely original 'Sauce'.

    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.

    Great news and well deserved after all his injury setbacks.

    This kid is gonna be a star!

    The kiss of death.

    Will he be eligible to win rising star in 2012?

    Turns 21 in February, so yes.

    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..

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
