......Sam was rookied by Hawthorn in 2010 after doing a pre-season with Fremantle. Sam struggled a bit with injury in 2011 and only managed the 3 senior VFL games in 2011. However, he showed good signs during the 2011 NAB Cup at Hawthorn, where his class and running ability stood out. Sam’s main weapon is that he has elite endurance; running a 15.6 beep at the state combine last year and demonstrated this over pre-season at Fremantle Football Club in 2010. He’s a good size too at 188cm and has a lot of physical development/upside left in him.
Saw him the other night helping out the 16's Development boys at East Freo.Does anyone know his height now?? i he still 188cm or has he grown a couple of cms? it would be nice to be able to swap him and Fyfey from full forward to wing. both elite runners, massive leaps and massive grabs. would love to see him take the next step up
Wow! Great stuff and Sam will be stoked. Was a few years below me in high school but he is a terrific guy and a very talented footballer. Very hard done by to get delisted after just a year I thought, he should thrive being back home.
Elite endurance, great mark and very tidy skills. Could be anything

Good old boys from City Bum Cleaners

Houghton had a similar beep test before being picked in the draft, not the rookie one.
Is taller than Menegola, both have had injury concerns.
It is strange that Houghton was only given two years, I would love to know what the problem was, and why we could not develop him.
If Sam also got homesick, doesnt this put him in the same basket as Tunbridge?
“Relief that the off-season is over and I’ve found a home, and excitement because I can get stuck into it,” he said.
“I can’t wait to put my head down and work really hard and try and play some really good footy next year.”
“It’s good to be home and playing my footy at Freo,” Menegola said.
“I’m absolutely stoked that it worked out the way it did and I’m now a Freo Docker.”
“I learnt the importance of trusting your instincts and backing yourself, which is what I’ll aim to do at Freo.”
Tunbridge, Menegola were only going to be picked up by two teams, if they were homesick.
Could we have rolled the dice and picked him up later?
May have lost a player on our rader to another team.
Hope Sam makes the most of his second chance.
