Sam Blease wants out

Do you know him personally?

I know people who do, yes.

He is a piece of work and Carlton are fed up with him.

    Robinson coming to a team he once said played "bruise free footy" is almost comical.

    I'd take him though.

    Truth be told, he was set up and never said the phrase himself.

    When asked if he though Melb played "bruise-free-football" on the day, he was too stupid to not say "oh, I don't know about that..."

    But all he really said was "oh, uh, yeah, I guess so..."

    I believe the phrase came from Brereton's mouth, from memory.

    Might be a better player in a better side but I think he's gone as far as he can at Melbourne.

    Sums it up best for me.

    Doing OK for a fringe player likely to be delisted if he's not traded - already up to his 3rd club on the "rumours" table.

    I know him fairly well. He's rough, but he is certainly not a rubbish human. Give me a spell.

    I have been reliably informed that Blease will be traded to Carlton for Mitch Robinson.

    Source would like to remain anonymous.

    (source would not let me post until now, when I said the link to Carlton was on twitter he gave the go ahead for me to post)

    Ahhh ... I see it now ... Roos' plan for recovery is to produce a team of psycopaths in 2015.

    Nothing else has worked in the past 8-9 years so why not?

  • Quote

    Some very interesting recruitment being rumoured for the club. Not sure if coincidental or not but if Roos is targetting some controversial players it could say a lot about what he thinks of our current list.

    That they are 'vanilla' personality player types!

    Who knows what Roos is thinking.

    I'd rate the source as very reliable though. Didn't mention if there was an exchange of picks involved in the deal or not, only the two players.

    And basically are not up to it.

    Was told 6 weeks ago by someone at Geelong that the Cats would be offering Taylor Hunt for Blease in a straight swap.

    I'd be rapt if we could get anything for him.

    Fark where do we sign??!!

  • Quote

    When was the last time Taylor Hunt played for Geelong?

    Been injured.

    I would take him ahead of Robinson.

  • Quote

    Just what we need is Robinson punching people, going out to 5 am and getting his jaw broken. Go Dees.

  • Quote

    I guess I agree, but it will be a new experience for me to loathe a Melbourne player.

    Agree ET, I detest the man.

    Ballantyne and Crowley are nice folk in comparison.

  • Quote

    What makes anyone think Roos has changed his no dick head policy

    Don't know about Ballantyne, his teammates seem to like him and I admire the way he goes about his football. Would love him at Melbourne.

    ...and Crowley is supposed to be a top bloke. Not a bad player either.

    And of course that's what he did right? Just went out and punched someone. Not get attacked and defend himself. He just assaults people. Cause he's a d1ckhead and a "rubbish human", according to people who have never met him.

  • Quote

    Carey and Ablett are just two players in the history of the game who probably wouldn't have passed the no dheads policy. I know they were exceptional players but the fact is most clubs will have an idiot or two. We've probably got a couple on our list at the moment and a couple who left over the last couple of years would've fitted the description with ease.

  • Quote

    When was the last time Taylor Hunt played for Geelong?

    Geelong have been grooming him to be the number one run-with. Lost his place to injury so I doubt GFC would want that trade.

  • Quote

    When was the last time Taylor Hunt played for Geelong?

    He played 8 of the first 9 games this year for about as many stats as Blease.

    Oh sorry Blease didnt play many 1's games.

    If Sam Blease is on a list next year he can think himself lucky.

    If we get anything at all it will be a bonus.

    Maybe Sam Blease to Giants and we get Sam Frost.

    Overs. They'd have to include their 1st rounder.

    Geelong are verging on delisting Hunt.

    Wouldn't do a trade because we'd likely get him for free if we really want him.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
