This is so me.

Blease - runs and breaks lines - adds all that pace.

Pretty much amounted to nothing for us.

Ex-Dee Sam Blease now on Trade Radio, saying he was frustrated by Melbourne's game-plan this year and he's been training hard to work on his deficiencies.


Blease adds that Melbourne are an outstanding club and Paul Roos is an outstanding coach but he just didn't fit in.


"I've had a few little enquiries from clubs, my manager is dealing with them - a couple (clubs) in Melbourne, we'll see how it pans out." - Blease.


good luck

Probably didn't like that we were so defensive, whilst he is all attack.

I for one rated him and thought he added real spark, but yeah.

Will be a player somewhere else; Stef Martin.

just thought it was a decent comment from the lad.

Hes not for us, and he may not progress. I didnt rate him highly seemed too limited , but take his words as they are. He obviously voiced a respect for Roos, the Club , which i sense many are now garnering.

This pretty much sums it up for me. He doesn't fit the style of football Roos wants to play and he has too many glaring weaknesses that he hasn't been able to overcome.

Let's hope we can get something decent for him.

Wow that was good radio

I remember after a game of school footy vs Sam in 2008, a bit of push and shove broke out and when it was broken up he yelled "remember my name." lel

The kid can play, but there is no point hanging on to players the coach doesn't like and won't play. We'll get next to nothing for him, and then presumably watch him kick 5 goals against us next year for his new club.

Yeah!

Wait...wait...you're serious.

Oh.

Ha!

I made a couple of notes from the interview.

  • Said he'd been training with an AIS running coach for the last couple of months, 4 times per week and feels as though he's making inroads with his endurance.
  • He said that for the first 1/2 of the year that he and Roos didn't see eye to eye, but then backtracked a little and said he was a great coach.
  • Also said that he isn't naturally defensive.

So there you have it. The reason Sam isn't going to be on the MFC list this year is because......he cannot run out a game, listen to the coach or defend.

Not too surprised about that really...but i do find it funny that its only the last couple of months that he's been doing extra running. Maybe the penny's dropped that his career is hanging by a thread.

In a different team, I reckon Blease could be very good. A bit nervoous about this decision, although in Roos I trust.

Would fit in well at the Tigers I reckon.

...and that after 5 years on an AFL list, his running is still poor, he still burns teammates and has bad skills when at mod-high pace.

But at least he rates himself.

Some guys just don't get it. He should have been doing that from the moment he realised his endurance needed work, not when he was told he wasn't wanted at the club.

Further proof that we don't need him on our list.

I don't have much ill will towards, he hasn't come on as we'd have hoped but unlike many others who have ditched us he hasn't bagged the club or coaches. In the right environment and game plan he could work out for another team.

Another failed top 20 pick .... How many is that since 2007???

Surely our past recruiters & development people should never be allowed to work in another afl club ever again.... wtf disgrace!

I hope they DO go to other clubs, and continue true to form!

Kids obviously got a big attitude problem. Wants to do it his way or no way at all... Glad hes gone.

One of those, like Sylvia IMO who would like to play AFL byt don't want to enough to put in the hard work and make the necessary sacrifices

we'll probably regret this one

Already do, he was taken before Zaha if memory serves.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
