Question is ... would you try to sign Blease for two or for three years?

Three for me. The future looks rosy for Sam.

This should be our main priority at the moment. Then sign Rivers.

Blease is better than his mate from Bankstown.

I would give him a 3 year deal. With some big incentives thrown in his contract

I agree with this, 3 years at a fair price, with bonuses when playing x amount of games and coming top 5 in B&F. I'm sure there'd be more they could put in but that's where I'd start.

His manager will only want to sign him for 2. He is a player whose value in 2 years could be very hard to guage now.

The most pleasing part of the interview is the mention of the extra work he is doing in preparation for next pre-season. This is the comments that the good teams make and is starting to be heard more and more in MFC interviews.

It would be completely unacceptable and an indictment on the fans if the club didn't sign him. There are simply no excuses. Get it down. Losing both Scully and Blease would simply be unacceptable. It would be the same at any club.

I'm not sourcing or divulging my 'sauces' but I'm telling you all right now that Blease will not be going anywhere.

He is so appreciative of how the Club supported and counselled him during his major injury. Further, he has several very close mates (Gys is one of them) and he loves the place.

Will sign.

Get it done.

Skills, pace and goal sense.

Surprised you're not excited, H. You want talent, Blease has more talent than most on the list, and only has one (fixable) flaw.

If Howe got 3 he deserves 5. Definitely worth a 3 but will see how they structure other players. Just off topic but do GWS and GC have selections in the pre season draft. In their first years I think they didn't for some reason.

Fix the first and the second will follow.

He's already making inroads on the defensive side, it's just that he's knackered half the time.

I like the fact that it is well advertised about Sam's lack of fitness/defensive acts he knows it,we know it and even the commentators know it but he is working on it and you can see some improvement already. Here is someone who wants to be better and is/will work his ass off to get there.

Sam Blease is a bright light at the end of a long and dark tunnel that is MFC.

His potential is enormous and he is one of the players we need to ensure remains a Demon.

Those on the list marked 'to be signed in October if we can't recruit better replacements' are not in the same class as Blease.

With Blease, Tom McDonald and Howe all having had good seasons and with Clark, Jurrah, Jamar and Watts to return from long term injuries I think we are showing positive signs.

Some top draft selections will be 'icing on the cake'. A couple of tough, ready to go types like Jack Viney would be a good start.

My only frustration with Blease is he can put on the pace when he is going for goal but cant do the same when chasing an opponent.

However I know he has been working on this and interesting to hear Neeld say he spoke to Sam about his defensive side of things after the first few rounds and Sam just looked at him like he had no idea what Neeld was on about. I know Blease missed a bit of footy with his leg but wouldnt the previous coaches helped Blease with this and taught him to be defensive.

Anyway I was rapt for Blease yesterday and hope we can see him play good consistent footy and build on it into 2013.

2 months ago everyone wanted him to [censored] off to GWS with his mate Tom...

I will also rah rah this post...

Seriously though, about 4 of our most neurotic and hopeless Landers said he was off.

Most of the rest of us have a modicum of confidence and calm.

Few Eric Pierces' amongst you lot, Blease has been a gun for a fair few games now.

He don't need to kick 5 to tell me that.

I'd sign him for a duration that Blease is after and pay him well.

We got a fair few to delist and a couple more high paid players on the way out.

The kid has X factor and everything else we need and above all, he works damn hard.

Once he gets a tank, he'll rack you up 10 tackles a game regularly - and thats only a small part of the package.

yeah well i knew he was a gun like 10 years ago when saw him play under-10s :0

besides you cant say he was a gun, he has done many gun things but they have generally they were good moments in very quiet games, until yesterday

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
