unwanted by eagles, only 23 would he be worth a shot with us?

Would be a great pick up for us. Better than anyone else wev'e got from the West Coke Eagles. :lol:

    You'd have to find him first. Apparently he's buggered off up the coast & they're not expecting him back anytime soon.

    I don't want anymore problem childs running around for the MFC!

    He's 23, wayward and has not played AFL for two years and has an attitude problem.

    I'd rather Craig Turley ...now

    At his best, Sampi is a very very good player. However is it worth going after someone who doesn't seem to have the work ethic or the desire to put in the hard yards? I'm not so sure.

    Also, we got Paul Johnson from the Eagles and he is proving very handy!

    We need a forward pocket specialist!

    if he's willing to put in the hard yards then i'd consider him.

    at his best would be definite starting 18.

    difference between him and picket...sampi is 23

    relocation might do him good. or it might be too much. mature age rookie for 1 year, keep a spot on the list to promote him if he puts in hard yards?

  • Quote

    had great potential - but hasn't turned it on in years now

    if home issues are a problem now, they will be much worse if he is living with melbourne

    thanks, but no thanks

    has already said he has lost the desire to play footy. no thanks!!

    well look at Rodan last year. Port picked him up with their last round pick...80 something. If we can do the same for Sampi then it would be worth it as its terribly unlikely that we will get a good player at pick 80 anyway. Thats my thought anyway

    Rodan is a completely different scenario. He had injury problems and was not rated by the club that axed him.

    Sampi (as far as we know) is of healthy body, and everyone knows he can play. His headspace is an issue and generally, once a player is a headcase he is always a headcase.

    Big fat PASS for me.

    I actually think Richmond rated him up till the last season before he was injured. I recon we can pick him up even cheaper than Rodan due to that reason.

    Rodan's one of the hardest workers in the game. Rodan does everything he can to improve himself as a playa while Sampi lives off his pure talent. Cupido like?

    PASS.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
