Secondly - Wrong - it was widely reported that Blease requested a trade at his exit interview. I have no doubt he would have been delisted anyway, but he did get in first.

Sorry, I've had it all wrong - it must have been Blease who was responsible for our miserable performance over the last 6 years. Make that 8 years 'cause we would have been looking at him earlier We are going to be premiers this year. Your attitude is exactly the same as what you are complaining about with Sam. You must really hate yourself (that must be Blease's fault as well).

A list of what 42 and we can pick one.

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,

Rated by most, in fact The Ox still rates Blease, along with N Brown and it looks like Geelong see something as well. The club has failed many players. ps First hand experience - the moon is made of cheese.

So the it's the players not the club, that's why they were ALL rated in their draft years and haven't come on. Watts was a number one pick who I still rate, yet has not developed hardly at all - he must be lazy, because the club has nothing to do him not coming on as he should have. Had a quick look at big footy Geelong page, and if you take out the couple of Melbourne supporters bagging Blease, I'd say 40/60 in favour, which for a guy that can't get a regular senior game here is probably better than expected.

The underlying theme amongst all the recruits is Melbourne recruited them. I find it hard to believe that we got them all wrong, and the fact that we have been unable to develop anyone says more about us than the individuals. These guys put faith faith that club knows best how to train and develop them. If players are commenting on 'how hard it is at another club' then Melbourne is the problem, not the players. If anyone thinks they're not trying their guts out, then seek help.

Spot on.

Well I was at the game, it doesn't change my comment. There was poor disposal from all players at times, don't just single out the players you don't like.

I think it's time you got your medication checked.

Yeah - no mention

My problem isn't with criticism. I have seen probably 6 Casey games live this year, and no matter how good a coach Roos is you cannot make judgements from sub standard recordings on a tape. He relies on assessments from Aliison. I would be interested on Allison's assessment on JKH around his "defensive efforts" and "not letting his man get free", you know the things that are the way we play at Melbourne, and every other Melbourne listed Casey player does. I was disappointed with this side of his game, especially in a team that was getting I wouldn't call Allison's reviews honest, I'd call them the message Melbourne wants to communicate. I wouldn't even call them accurate

I mean if there are players that have their bags packed at the club then no matter what they do or how we'll they play at Casey they aren't going to get a crack. That's fine, I do however have a problem with rules for one and different rules for others. Reading Allison's review there was no mention of JKH's defensive (or lack of) efforts. He was continually sitting 30 meters off opponent who was picking up kicks at will. Michie, Strauss, Blease, Evans and co would have been slammed in Allison's review if it was them.
