How did he go in their time trial today?

He said he didn't run. He just ran some laps to make an appearance for the occasion. Says he is fit and ready and his mind is in a better place, soft tissue problems gone and his foot is good. All I know is if I see him playing forward and turning it on like he did for 10 games in 2012 for the freaking cats I may be physically ill!!

"I've had five coaches in six years. You can only imagine if your boss changes every year almost, it's hard to keep consistency," Blease said. "As a result, I feel that moving to a new club with a 7t

Dean Bailey tried. Mark Neeld tried. Paul Roos tried. Two caretaker coaches tried. Were they all imparting the wrong message or was Blease not listening?

On Blease , I don't think he got much of a go by Roos....maybe he was being made into something he is not, a back flanker? A midfielder? I think he is a natural goal sneak nothing more, should do well at Geelong if played as a forward pocket.

On Clark, I don't believe a single word that comes out of that guys mouth.

Well they did well with Rivers as he jagged a pretty high placing in there B & F. Was it 5th or 6th? Not sure but not bad for a player in a top 4 team who most dees supporters I spoke to were fine with letting him go.

Why wouldn't the cats roll the dice again with a couple players who have some positive attributes.

In saying that I hope they both have wonderful pre-seasons so they can have a no excuse season at there physical peak.... and then not get a single kick!

Except Rivers was a good solid player for us for years. Many supporters were sad to him go. Bleese done bugger all. Rivers was targeted by the cats because they could see his value. Blease is a speculative punt. Edited by america de cali

I've no time for Sam Blease but I sense there are a lot here who are scared that he'll succeed.

What I do know is that Geelong is a very good club with significant football knowledge and a professional approach and if they have recruited him there is reason to think he has attributes they can use.

If he succeeds we should ask ourselves why we couldn't use those attributes. I don't think we'll have to bother but I don't discount the possibility.

Geelong seem to have taken a few punts this time around. Clark, Stanley, Blease. Maybe it's boom or bust for them, the last hurrah. I don't rate Stanley, I think Blease will be only a bit part player at best and with Clark it's purely an injury thing. We know he can play.

Agree, picking up half cooked players and speculative rejects has never really been thier go.

It's a change of tack that isn't going to work in this case.

Interesting that Blease is saying that "they don't want me to change, they love me just the way I am". That attitude will have a limited shelf life at Geelong.

Geelong have taken a few relatively low risk (low outlay), low chance of a possible high return prospects.

Balme jumped ship because he sniffed the winds of change.

The cats are due for a flat spot.

However Hocking is of the highest calibre and will have the cats turning it around.

In time. Hopefully a lot of time.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
