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.

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?

Posted

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
