Sam Hughes I think was ripped off in the draft, he played for Vic Country in TAC cup there is a great bit of footage on you tube. he is a small midfielder and i thinkk he would go well at demon land.

First post?

Thanks Sam, Sam's brother, sister, cousin or mate.

:lol: That's what I thought... :lol:

Yeah, it looks like young Sam is in a bit of trouble if he thinks we're the ones he has to convince.

Watched some footage though - not terrible, not great. Vanilla for me.

Apologies if that's the case, but you have to admit you set yourself up for that one.

He might get a look in somewhere. But the Falcons seem to have been selling the names of a few of his teammates ahead of him.

He's got a small body and not a great kick. But he's got speed, terrific agility, great front and square and is very clean in that situation. Did some terrific things at Telstra Dome in the final championships round.

70 odd players will be called out on Tuesday. He'd have to be a chance.

i notice that Jordie mc kenzie from the falcons got invited to train he looked the goods to was pretty quick and seemed to be a clever player. Your right Hughes would prob be a chance only young and needs to bulk up to improve. the falcons seems to a good breeding ground seeing scarlett and jonathan brown started there.

To back up what I said about Hughes, the Falcons Regional Manager Michael Turner (who calls it how he sees it) said about Hughes in the Geelong Advertiser:

Sam also played a couple of games for Vic Country and he's had a good, solid two years with us. He's very, very quick and has got good stamina. It's a very difficult thing to get drafted and I don't think that Sam will. I'm just hoping that someone can pick him up as a rookie and, if not, there's no doubt that he will go and pursue his career in the VFL at either Geelong or Werribee.

Yeah McKenzie missed a fair bit of footy over the past couple of years with injuries so he's perhaps been underexposed. Clean and quick hands, can run all day and does all the defensive stuff very well - I'd imagine his kicking would have been closely monitored by the coaches over the past couple of weeks.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
