Freo pinched him from the Hawks with the go home factor
This was posted by a Hawthorn supporter at the time:
From what I understand Sam had an offer from Freo for a 2 year contract but he wanted to stay at Hawthorn. He requested to stay on at a base rate of a primary listed player. When Lyon went to Freo that offer was removed. Some interest was shown during trade week from St Kilda but a trade obviously was not successful. I believe Sam may not have received the best advice from his manager.
I would only be speculating as to what Hawthorn’s thinking was when they decided to delist him but I don’t think they were happy with what had taken place. Rightly or wrongly he was delisted based on ability or attitude, or possibly both only a few will probably ever know! I wish Sam well in his future endeavours.
