Nervous about this.

That said, in Roos I trust.

I'm over being nervous about our players doing well at other clubs.

It didn't work for Sam at the Dees - but if Geelong can somehow unlock any potential he has, then good luck to them.

Delisted players from this club seem to find new homes more than rejects from any other club. I put it down to other club arrogance, "we can un-Melbourne him" type attitude.

Almost without fail, these players don't get "un-Melbourned". They stay the same. I doubt Blease will be any different. Paul Roos is only human like the rest of us, and thus can make mistakes, but he is one of the best judges of AFL talent that there has ever been. If he doesn't rate Blease, then that's good enough for me.

That being said, I wish Sam all the best. I really thought he had something back in 2011/12.

I wonder how he will go having Chris Scott coaching him. The Scott brothers seem like quite intense coaches even more so when players are not performing to the required level. Good Luck Bleasey ?

Watch him thrive. Good players around him, in a good environment, I expect him to shine.

Again shows how far off the mark we have been for 5-6 years.

Rivers Clark Blease...

It just don't add up....!

Are they perhaps trying to take us over by Stealth?

Geelong is a very disciplined side, everyone must do their job and do it well, they have a lot of depth so if you dont follow the game plan and put in then you dont play simple as that, I think Sam will struggle to get a game.

Blah blah blah..

Give it up.

Blease simply wouldn't do what he was told,. Read the Casey reports each week. Anyone that does that is a dead man walking.

Er, he hasn't done anything yet.

At all.

If he is to back up whatever point you are making - he hasn't done it yet...

Haha the old 'new environment [censored]'

Bit like how Sylvia was going to absolutely thrive under Ross Lyon, or Brock Mclean at Carlton?

Still waiting for Jordan Gysbert to do a Scott Thompson on us because of his 'new environment'

Blease isn't a hardworkers arshole.

Good luck Sam but your in for a rude shock.

I generally feel a bit sad when our 2nd tier players leave (by whatever means) and play for other clubs. Stef Martin, Jamie Bennell, Ricky Petterd, Kyle Cheney, Matthew Warnock etc were all players I liked at one time and still follow when I watch those clubs play.

For some reason, even though he was on the list for six years, I'm not really fussed about Blease and regard him as just another Geelong player already

In a way youre right but possibly not how you intended it....and probably for 5+6 years !!

he may thrive down there. Good luck to him. he will be training among superstar players to learn from such as selwood, bartel, johnson , kelly and others. Something he never had at melbourne. Plus he is going into a club that has a winning culture and plays finals.

A different environment although a good tweet from jon ralph. Sam Blease a Cat. I hope he realises what a second chance this is & works his arse off. Wasted talent so far. Nowhere near fit enough

We lost Bleese and gained Garlett. Whether a win or a loss is yet to be determined. Garlett can play if his head is right and Bleese can play close to contract renewal time but couldn't pull the con job on Roos this time around. Proven facts.

Geelong used to have good depth, don't think they do anymore, particularly as there are quite a few premiership heroes whose best footy is behind them and are coming to the end of their career.

If the majority are correct including Roos and co blease wont make it . Could it be the cats have a gameplan change this Summer with Sammy in mind or are arrogant enough to back in the culture . The geelong way .

And your years of AFL experience tell you that. We haven't developed anyone and until the club, the supporters and the mindless here realise this we have got years of pain ahead.

I wish him good luck,

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
