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

    oh my gosh it would be just like picking up byron pickett again!! no thanks

    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

  • Quote

    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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
