Sam Blease, a talented Australian rules footballer, has left a remarkable legacy in the Australian Football League (AFL). Beginning his professional career with the Melbourne Football Club after being selected in the 2008 AFL Draft, Blease showcased his skills and determination on the field. Despite facing challenges like a broken leg early in his career, Blease's resilience shone through. His standout performances, including a career-high five-goal game against the Saints in 2012, earned him nominations for the AFL Rising Star award in both 2011 and 2012, a feat achieved by only a few players. Transitioning to the Geelong Football Club in 2015 as a delisted free agent, Blease continued to make his mark in the league. However, his career took an unexpected turn when a serious head injury during a VFL match led to his decision to retire from the AFL in 2015. Standing at 184 cm and weighing 80 kg, Blease primarily played as a midfielder, bringing his agility and strategic gameplay to the field. His contributions to both Melbourne and Geelong clubs have left a lasting impact on the AFL community, showcasing his passion and dedication to the sport. Sam Blease, also known as "Bleasey Blicka," will be remembered for his tenacity, skill, and unwavering commitment to Australian football.
