GEELONG isinterested in securing former Melbourne speedster Sam Blease as a delisted freeagent according to AFL.com.au.

The 23-year-oldwas officially struck from Melbourne’s list on Wednesday after six years as aDemon.

He had told theclub he was seeking fresh opportunities during his exit interview and Melbournehad agreed to assist him reach another club.

Blease was afirst round selection (No.17 overall) as a 17-year-old in the 2008 NAB AFLDraft but did not make his debut until round 15, 2011 after breaking his anklein a schoolyard accident in 2009.

He played just33 games but displayed flashes of brilliance at times.

Blease lookedto have cemented a spot when he played 16 games in 2012 kicking 19 goals andearning his second Rising Star nomination.

However anankle injury interrupted his 2013 and he attracted interest from Hawthorn inthe 2013 trade period but stuck with the Demons.

He seemed tofall out of favour with Paul Roos, playing just two games at the end of 2014despite impressing in the VFL.

Blease toldTrade Radio that he was working hard to get another chance and said he had beenworking with high performance running coach Adam Larcom in the pastmonth.??

"Obviously the time at Melbourne has been a little bitinconsistent, and I've taken this opportunity over this break to work on somethings…endurance being one of those," Blease said.

??"I think it's putme in good stead for another opportunity.??"

This year has been a littlebit different to previous years where I've sort of felt that this was my mostconsistent VFL season."

The Cats tradedspeedster Travis Varcoe to Collingwood last week and Blease could add some zipto the Geelong line-up.
