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

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

I like that he took his destiny in to his own hands:

"I was never going to get anywhere if I was double-guessing myself so I took it upon myself and thought I need to see someone because I can't keep playing like this, I'm not going to get anywhere."

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

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

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..

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
