WCE culture might have had something to do with the lack of application shown by Sampi. The eagles have talent ooozing form every corner, but the old school hard work and strict player management are no part of the WCE culture. Maybe if he gets in with Bailey's system, he will find the motivation and desire he lacked at the eagles.

I think too much pressure is applied to Aaron Davey to be the big brother. ANy influence Aaron has on Ashley will be postivie, Aaron is just that special person who can leave him amrk on anyone. But will Aaron have enough time and energy to work on his one game and Sampi's?

I see this as a Motlop Mach2. It is low risk, and if it could help us, why not. I am just hoping Sampi can bring to our team what motlop couldn't.

Whoa, because Worsfold is known as a soft trainer?

But ditto on Motlop 2.

Recruit him with our fourth round draft pick. Hopefully nobody else touches him before then.

MFC would be negligent in overlooking him. We need some class to replace Trapper.

I would much rather CC have a punt on a young kid with one of our late pics in the national draft than use it on sampi. I say we use pick 3 in the PSD. i dont think there is anyone much else to look at. and if he goes before that pick then good luck to the team who got him.

23!

Has anyone seen the movie 23?

oh no dont pick up Sampi!!

Forget Sampi.

Forget Sampi.

Why

So we dump TJ for a reject like Sampi? Yeah I love the decision making that goes on down there

we "dump" TJ for pick 14, sampi and a big space in the salary cap, for in 2 years time when brock has one hand on the premiership cup, jonesy has a brownlow and juice has a coleman, we can afford to keep them all!

Yep that was the thinking behind the decision. The two scenarios are completely different. If we traded TJ to WC for Sampi then you might have a point but hey don't let the facts get in the way of a misguided spray.

that's an extremely stupid comment... we trade TJ for a first round selection... and we get sampi with a 4th round or PSD selection...

I love the mental gymnastics it requires to:

A. Draw an association between the two completely seperate trades. TJ for Sampi (?)

B. Come up with with such a brilliant oxymoron as "Jamar Superstar".

Wait no longer Dees fans, the brains trust has arrived!

if you cant get your head around the tj deal, go back and read the threads about tj. some good discussion was had there, in particular a post by hannabal.

im guessing you havnt read the rest of this thread about sampi either, so go back and read the first page and you may be enlightened somewhat.

Forget Sampi.

Amazing talent and will cost us practically nothing in a football sense.

I cannot believe we are replacing Neale Daniher with Ashley Sampi

Just wait for Nov. 24, we're planning to pick up John Howard with pick 4. I thought we were going for a tall...

I cannot believe we are replaing Neale Daniher with Ashley Sampi

:lol: :lol:

Genius?

i dont know if he has that much talent... ill guess we will find out... but yes we are gettin him for nothing if we do get him.

i think BB that he has some things that we lack on our list. he is quick an agile, and can play the crumbing role, or the small defender role. agree im not sure how up to it he is, but he will cost nothing and has potential, and plenty of time to deliver. if he impresses i wont say no to picking him up.

Bite me Deanox. I didnt say it was relevant. I thought we wanted a younger list so we bid farewell to TJ say hello to draft picks. Not a hello to someone like Sampi

Sampi has arrived, is sharing digs with the Flash and started training yesterday - DEES LOOK AT SAMPI

"Sampi, discarded by the Eagles, has been given no guarantees of a berth on the Demons' list.

However if he sheds weight and can hold up to the rigours of a personalised program, Sampi is sure to spark interest from not only the Demons.

Richmond and Carlton will get a crack before Melbourne if the talented forward slips through to the pre-season draft."
