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

    Congratulations Sam, well deserved.

    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.

    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..

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
