      I wouldn't be against potentially rookie listing Blease if we had a spare spot but I wouldn't get him as a delisted free-agent because then he is straight on the primary list.

      Would be ironic if Horse could get more out of him than Roosy...

        I think Horse can get a lot out of Blease. Longmire is coaching for his players and coaching to win. Roos is coaching with one eye on the Demons and one eye on his media image. Roos still talks and thinks that the Demons problems are the entire previous administrations fault.

        Someone like Blease gets spat out by Roos as a player damaged beyond repair by the previous administration and not up to his system.

        Longmire sees a player like Blease as someone who has shown flashes of brilliance, has plenty of talent, and is waiting for the right environment to show case his talents. He is worth a spot on the primary list at the expense of a Lockyear or a Matthew Dick.

          If Sam Blease is over his ankle injury, I would definitely draft him with a late pick.

          He has got talent and speed. Also, has previously been nominated for a Rising Star on 2 occasions.

          These are his stats in a game against the Swans in 2012 (when he was fit and not injured):

          Round 8 19th May - Sydney win (37-138) Kicks (18) Handballs (11), Disposals (29), but only the 1 tackle. If tackling is his only negative, it won't take long for the Swans to fix that.

            Imagine Jetta, Rohan, Cunningham and Sam Blease linking and running on a wing. That?s not Electric Pace, that's Sonic Speed.

                  Can't get a game at the Demons...We need him like a hole in the head.

                  Can't think of many on our list he'd be ahead of.....Maybe ROK.

                    Electric is faster than Sonic.

                    Blease is a waste of space. I'd much rather have BJ in the side. Then there's Marsh, Dick and Towers with very good pace. Why would we add Blease to go to the bottom of the list?

                      I'd rather get Hiscox if adding more pace is the primary objective. Or keep Dick and Harry.

                        To be fair, Laidler couldn't get a game at Carlton and he's been pretty handy. Most players would be better with better players around them.

                        Having said that, I'm not overly interested in Blease.

                          We should keep Tom, Dick and Harry.

                          We have enough emerging young midfielder's. We should be going to the draft and trying to get key position defenders.

                            The difference is Laidler was brought in with a specific role in mind....Mattners role.

                            Can't think of a role we need covered by Blease.
