More info on Sam Gray
Sam was the surprise packet of 2015. After playing a handful of AFL games off the rookie list in 2014 and making a minor impression as a small forward, he began 2015 again on the rookie list with low expectations and the consensus that he was a gun midfielder at SANFL level but not quite up to the grade at AFL level. He was again promoted to the senior list early in the season and played 4 games as a small forward without making too many waves before being dropped back to the Magpies for the middle part of the year. Nobody would have expected what happened when he returned to the AFL team in round 18. With the season over and a number of injuries to the midfield, Sam was given the chance to test his mettle in the middle of the park. He began putting together a solid portfolio of work before his form exploded over the final weeks of the season, averaging 35 disposals and collecting 5 Brownlow votes in the last three games. Sam’s reward is a spot on the senior list for 2016 and expectations of a much brighter future at AFL level than had been the case 12 months ago.
