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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
