    Only 1 or 2 smart posters on here, warned that the finals form of 2018 was more likely an event than a trend, in light of KPP development of guys like Hawkins, Boyd etc...

    No one should be surprised that consistency for him is still 2-3 years away.  That said, I would have like his competitiveness with ground ball and tackling pressure to be better than it is.

     

    Something tells me he will end up at Collingwood before his time is through...hence the ambit claim of 700+.

    This is true but overlooked for the most part. A comparison to Hawkins is instructive. Hawkins, who came into AFL with a much more developed body, didn't become a dominant forward until his sixth season in the comp.

    In his first five years the only times he really looked like a quality player was when he played on Nathan Carroll.

    Not sure this is the right thread.

    I'm a bit worried about Sam.  I can no longer find the tweet but a few days before last week's Casey game a footy scribe tweeted that Sam had closed his twitter and instagram accounts. 

    Anyone have any info on Sam's 'soreness' from that Casey game as he is not on the latest injury list?

    Coincidence?

    Hope Sam is ok.  He is young and all the noise and negative attention around his contract could be quite disheartening.   Hopefully, he is back playing soon and can get some confidence up. 

    And tells his manager to pipe down about the contract to media folk.  Change manager even!

    Saw him yesterday at Windy Hill at the 3/4 time huddle. Walking well for what's that worth. Jetta on the other hand looked sore.

    I was told by someone who had spoken to a member of Sams family today that Sam needs surgery on his hips.

    Sorry a bit shy on info other than the club want to hold off on the surgery and see if the injury improves with rest but at some point he will need surgery. Given the way the year is going it will be soon and probably out for a long time.

    The good news never ends 

    If he needs season ending surgery, do it now. Get him fresh for next year and get another spot for the mid season draft.

    Please don't tell us he has been playing injured this year and in doing so has aggravated the problem...not sure I can cope with yet another player being played while under a serious injury cloud.

    On a different note, if he has played with hip injuries it is very commendable that he has played at all and helps explain why he hasn't played well.

    We have won two in a row without him LH. 

    What does that tell you?

    A lot of players have a hereditary issue with the ball of the femur...  a sort of hook on the ball,  which bites its way into the cartilage,  causing damage.  I'm assuming this might be the cause.

    They smooth it off,  and maybe the cartilage needs smoothing out as well.

    don't think so hip impingement with labral tears due to femoral dysplasia is real and responds well to treatment, if indeed this is the problem.

    He came into his draft year with hip issues didn't he?? Or am I remembering wrong, I know he didn't play a huge amount in his draft year due to injury, which we knew and were happy to give him a lot of time to get right.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
