I was all smiles the whole time haha!
Where does one start?
Well, start with the fact that SPS was only on the ground for 79 minutes, 2nd lowest in the entire game.
But the guy still manages a near BoG performance?
22 disposals (17 kicks, 10 contested), 2 goals, 7 score involvements (equal 1st on team) and 20 pressure acts (5th on team).
His impact on games once he has a few pre-seasons to build on? Frightening.
Is there any rule against SPS playing in a cape?
when he fell to us in the draft i was laughing, i'm glad we didn't get Taranto because his disposal is horrible by foot. SPS could prove to be the best player from last seasons draft, he is so smart with his disposal and little taps
Actually the kids are more than alright.
Sps-elite
Fisher-very good
Will-extremely good
Macreadie-good
Marchbank-will be elite
Charlie-xfactor
Sos-very good
Weiters-will be elite.
One more draft of quality picks and we're on our way.

One that might have been overlooked was how he protected the mark he took in forward fifty in the second quarter when he kicked his second goal. The defender was out of the picture, but even if he'd been on Sammo's tail, he'd have struggled to punch the ball clear. Arms were out front, and he brought the ball down quickly. Perfect technique. Very smart play from a smaller player.

The smile on Boltons face, when they asked him about SPS in the presser absolutely says it all, the players and coaches would love having this kid at the club, love how he fist pumps the jumper after he kicks a goal, shows he really does love the club already.
Think this kid will be an absolute super star in the future.

I saw it as arms in front, bum out to protect from the spoil. Did tuck the head in a touch as soon as he got his hands around it but can't blame him there.
Jarrad Waite used to do that a fair bit as well... the old bum out, drop the arms quickly move. Smart footballers protect the footy from the defenders and this bloke's doing it on the big stage in his seventh game.

The thing that blows me away about this kid is his attitude and workrate. It's genuine, infectious and he clearly just loves playing footy and doing whatever he needs to out on the field for the team to have a good chance at victory. He doesn't strike me as someone who wants to lairise or just have his own highlights package.
Then you combine all that with his obvious all round skillset and talent. It's scary.

The most rounded game I've seen from a first year player, he really can do it all, he only played 75% game time, when he gets a tank, he will be a super star, seems like a ripper kid too, so happy SOS got this kid to the club.

No player we've got over the last few years has excited me more than this guy.
I kid you not .. after a couple of pre-seasons what we'll have is a contested version of Rioli who gets twice the possessions and does it all over the ground.

I would go as far as predicting that SPS will be better than Cripps. He can find the ball like Cripps does. He has good vision like Cripps. Can handball like Cripps, but he is a helluva a better kick than Cripps. His goal from 45m comfortably cleared the goal line & his footskills in traffic are sublime, e.g. that pass inboard to a teammate on 50 is something that only a handful of AFL players could do.

He doesn't have the bull-like strength of Cripps but he hardly needs it as he doesn't get tackled.

My son got a new jumper this year and he predictably got a number 1 on the back. I told him to get another 5. He wouldn't listen.
Seriously, it's like a flashmob when SPS gets it. Everyone stands still all of a sudden and he just seems to stroll through.
Love little Jack Silvagni but Samo is going to be something special.

Some of the things he does, it's like he's taking the piss, nailing kicks like that one inboard, on a way day.
The way he plays in the wet it's like he's playing in dry conditions, so clean and this kid is 1st year player.
I wouldn't swap SPS for any of the kids taken in the draft ahead of him, think McGrath and Taranto are great prospects, but IMO SPS was the kid who should have gone pick 1.

I also have a hard on for SPS (pardon the crudeness).
But while SPS certainly presents as having more tricks than Cripps, let's not forget that the calibre of Cripps' main party trick (clearances) is almost unprecedented in modern footy.
When you factor in the fact that clearances are usually the forte of older players and Cripps blitzed the field in his (kinda) 2nd season, his skill while not sexy and/or complete as a midfielder is hard to undersell.

Reckon saying SPS handballs like Cripps is a bit of a reach (so far). Cripps has some of the most ridiculous handball highlights I've ever seen.
