Well done Sam, had a fantastic year and well deserved win.
Thank you Brisbane (and Richmond for the draft pick).

 

[Big Sim is Back]

Such a great story. Wanted to come because he loves the club, and has given his all. Only 22!

Well done Sam, you are a star.

Well done Sam, I'm so happy that things are looking up for him.
He had some very difficult and challaging events in his life and has surpassed all with confidence, an inspiration for all young lads meeting the challenges of life and the AFL.
I'm proud he's a Bagger, upward and onwards Sam hope you reach the stars a Charlie is next.
Go Mighty Baggers

Such an impressive player and person.
Looking forward to ten more years of heart and soul from this bloke.

Well done Docherty.

You know what freaks me out about Docherty making the aflpa u22 team?

The fact he's eligible for the team!

The way I've seen him about the field. He comes across like a 25-28yo.

Love how Doc calls Korcheck a kid. That's the old soul in Doc speaking as Korcheck is older than him.

I'm loving Marc's work so far this year, but surely Doc needs to be given the captaincy next year. It's time.

Doc's still young. There is a lot of pressure added when you are captain of an AFL team. Murph has finally hit his strides and looks comfortable in the role. I would be more than happy for Murph to hold it for at least the next 18 months and then re-assess. By that time Doc will be 24 and Cripps 23 - they can fight it out for the captaincy and Murph can concentrate on his footy for hopefully the 3-4 years after that.

Doc and Cripps literally fighting it out is an interesting mental image. Not quite clash of the titans, well, one of them is a titan, but the other would be some sort of relentless and uncompromising terrier.

Another team of the week. The John Nicholls and AA selection looking firm for this young blue star!

Well done Doc you have been a revelation since coming from Brisbane back to your rightful home.

 

[TBellicious]

He's a freak. What did we pay for him?

Pick 33.

And they got Tom Cutler

Tom Cutlery! nothing more than steak knives!

 

[Aphrodite]

Congratulations to Sam and well deserved!

 

[Faz 2000]

Great recognition for a great season. We have literally the best HBFer in the league, peeps.

Doc is also the perfect example of how to build a list - picking him off from a club where he wasn't loving things for well-unders at pick #33. Do that more!
