[deespicable me 1,485]

Will be the one most nervous of Watts being taken from us.

Demonland needs a whipping boy.

First time I've posted in a long time.

We have shown great faith in Sam ever since we grabbed him in the draft. He was supposed to slot in beside Jessie as an attacking key to a succession of premierships.

Sadly I'm afraid that he has shown us absolutely nothing. He might have played 2 good quarters with Casey in 2 years. Hulett who has been delisted was certainly no worse

He doesn't get the ball and he has no onfield presence.

On present indications- he's on his way to the flop club to join Lucas Cook and Luke Molan.

I'd love to be proved wrong - but for all it's brilliant recruiting efforts over recent years - the FD is still prone to serious errors!

I think it's grossly unfair to Luke Molan to say he's a member of the "flop club". I agree that we didn't get any value from having drafted him but that was as a result of injury. Your phrasing make it sound like it was his fault.

I would rather have an FA18 than a Cessna but we could go on like this forever.

This time next year will tell the story.

What would you do with it? Fly to the Darwin game?

I saw him kick 6 against Box Hill. He's got the goods. He ain't no spud. 

Remember how Demonland bayed at Hunt for years. He was called worse than a spud: a brussel sprout even....

World's best vegetable. But only if cooked right, which it usually isn't. (Hint: roast with garlic salt)

He better turnout because watts is being pushed out so Sam can get opportunities, he needs Hogan to be in the same side when they have played together he's not been too bad, hogan takes  all the focus off him.

He has the talent, just needs to gain about 10kg

 

Not sure if this video is promoting the good work of Weideman more than the terrible defensive efforts of the Box Hill players on him! Some great kicks on goal and speccy though.

Very tradeable.

We wont get every pick right . That's life.

Here's hoping Sam jumps out of his skin next year.

He’s just no good.

He played no football in his under 18 year and is physically under developed for a KPF.  I'm of the belief that rather than not reading the ball in flight, he is moved of it too easily by mature defenders.  Needs time in the gym; another 10kg and a stronger core will help him a lot.

Realistically, he shouldn't have played the early rounds this year- especially with Hogan out- hes a kid, and played like it.  Will be hoping for him to feature in the second halo of 2018, if not, then it's the time to get concerned.

The second halo? Another failed messiah?
