Sam Blease

He doesnt strike me as the player we need.

I know he is classy and has good speed. But i just want your typical midfielder who wins 30 possessions, puts his nose over it and does the hard stuff. Doesnt need electrifying pace....doesnt need to be a huge goal kicker. But good foot passing over the 30 metre range must be essential. Stamina and guts are the other big 2.

figjam, I actually had a few more samples than just that game, and the same thing struck me every time. He appears very clean and as though he will develop into a well balanced inside-outside option, provided he can put on enough core muscle to avoid being thrown around like a rag doll by players who get 1 hand on him.

That's my question mark on him. Will he be strong enough to get the half a second he needs to hit the jets and be away. It's the difference between being Chris Judd and Jason Winderlich, so it's a reasonably big difference, and some sort of a risk.

(I will go back and look at all the videos again now though, just to confirm my theories or to change my mind.)
