Very good news.

2 years is much better than none.

Really looking forward to his continuing progress in 2013 and beyond.

Pity it's only 2 years. I guess he'll have a clear pic of the club's outlook and be able to pull a much bigger paycheck then.

Well, you are a Melbourne supporter aren't you...

Best news I've had all day, great stuff Sam!

love this kid

quick reminder: if Carlton had tagged Johnstone and beaten us as they should have, we would have got Naitanui in addition to Watts - but since that didn't happen, our priority went to the END of the first round, and we used it on Sam Blease - could prove to work our advantage

Wouldn't we have got Cotchin instead of Morton too though? Or at least pick 2 instead of 4.

No wonder i hate Carlton so much.

Fantastic news on Blease!

Good stuff Sammy Blease, has become one of the most exciting players to watch this year. Can find the sticks too which is always a valuable talent.

i think youre correct, forgot about that bit

as you were

Good news.

Should be even better as he gets another Misson pre season under his belt which should see him enter season 2013 with greater endurance to match his turbo speed.

Key player given his ability to break the lines and his ability to kick a goal.

and genuine x-factor, along with Howe, putting bums on seats

Time for me to put my hand up. I have the deep suspicion borne of being there in 64 and seeing little since to make me smile. I expect us to be done over by all and sundry. When he looked grumpy, the ghost of HWFUA kept on niggling at me, and I thought he was gone.

I was wrong, couldn't be more happy about it.

Go Dees!

Thankyou!

Excellent news. An important part of our future. Well done Sammy.

To the handwringers and naysayers, keep the faith

Told you he was never going to leave, he and others have been challenged and those who want to see the club succeed have taken up the challenge despite the initial shock to the system.

This is great news

This is great news. I often wonder how far along he would be if he had not broken his leg, effectively having another full season under his belt.

This off-season will be crucial for Sam with a lot of endurance work on the cards.

Another reason to look forward to next year.

I was in the room at the Foundation Heroes Dinner when Don McLardy made the announcement and it made a lot of people happy.

Brilliant news.

A key part of the plan, and a further clear sign that the players who we need are buying in as Greeny wants them to.

Very pleased Blease re-signed with the Dee's.

I need to catch some z's...

Nice. Very nice. He's one of a limited few that I really wanted to re-sign.

Wait... but I thought... this doesn't make sense... I'm so confused... he's Scully's BFF, AND he was on SEN AND he was taking an eternity to re-sign AND so many people were saying he was gone... but now he has re-signed?

I don't know what to make of it. Oh yes I do, not everyone is a money hungry snakey little bastard rat.

Onya Sammy.

I reckon Scully's BFF's Blease and Bastinac both faked him out. "Yeah do it Tom, take the offer, we'll meet you up there next year!" *wave goodbye* "Well thank f... he's gone."

Gold. Enjoy 6 years in Breakfast Point, Tommy Boy!

Thank f.... is right.

We convinced the right one, in my book.

Sam Blease tweet:-

@Sam_Blease: Proud to have re-signed with the dees and help bring this club up the top of the ladder where it belongs #godees

Good stuff.

Now they need to teach him to gut-run both ways for 4 quarters.

His pace and goal-kicking ability makes him a very exciting prospect.

Excellent news. Looking forward to him cracking in and having a crack.

Really pleased! Like others I was concerned that Sam may have been looking to another club such as GWS. Now I can see my prediction that Sam will become another Bluey Adams come to fruition. He's a real talent that's for sure. Some good news for a change.

Pity it's only 2 years. I guess he'll have a clear pic of the club's outlook and be able to pull a much bigger paycheck then.

One reason would be the structure of contracts, As Jones and Howe have signed for 3 you don't want too many players out of contract at the one year.

But his facebook display picture is of him and Tom Scully......

To all the haters that tried to argue he was gone you now look even more stupid.

Well done Sammy!

Go Dees
