Just watched all Doc's training clips (again) and geez I'm excited to see him out there again. For context the last game he played was alongside Armfield.

Bigger return than Betts tbh. He won't reach the ceiling he should have but when he holds the cup alongside Cripps it won't matter. Going to enjoy seeing him build throughout the year and get back to his intercepting best.

(Above: Petrevski-Seton looks forward to taking his game to yet another level in 2020)

Player Name: Sam Petrevski-Seton

Guernsey #: 5

Nickname/s: SPS, Samo, Halls Creek Cowboy

2019 Senior Games: 22

Key Stats: 420 (19.1) Marks: 87 (3.95) Contested possessions: 176 (8) Tackles: 94 (4.36) Clearances: 46 (2.09) Metres gained: 5175 (235.2)

Height: 182

Weight: 78

Injury concerns: Nil

Primary Role: Midfield/Half-back

Best 22 Status: Best 22

Strengths: Decision-making, durability, class, flexibility, tackling

Weaknesses: Consistent impact on the game, can take easy option too often (which is improving), consistent ball-winning ability

What they said: “He’s one of those players where if you get the ball in his hands, the game almost stops a little bit,” Assistant Coach, Dale Amos said.

“This year has certainly been a breakout year for him.”

The 411: SPS played every game in 2019 (one of just 3) for the second year running – cementing himself as a durable mainstay in our senior side. After impressing early in the midfield, he struggled to hit his ceiling again before a move down back breathed fresh air into the Halls Creek Cowboy’s – and our backline’s – season. Petrevski-Seton’s games tally is up to 64 now, and one gets the feeling that he’ll be a genuine star – not unlike our own #9 – before he hits the 100 mark.

Bigfooty best case: All eyes will be on Samo in the preseason to see where he lines up – in and around the midfield or off the half back, where he began to settle at the tail end of the season. Heading into his fourth season, we should expect our #5 to start to assert himself on the field a little more – giving us a few more 25-30 disposal, Brownlow vote-worthy games to excite the fans and show us what he’s capable of. Either way, his journey to becoming an A-grade player is on track – and it is a joy to watch.

The key to any chance of rapid improvement this year are our top-end young players. All are elite in various areas of the game, so if they click, we click as a team:

Stocker
Setters
LOB
Dow
Fish
SPS
JSOS
Weiters
Harry
Charlie
Cuningham
McGovern
and yes Walsh - will improve his disposal efficiency and goal kicking this year

Any improvement in Gibbons, Willo, McReadie will be a bonus, but they do not have the upside of the list above.

Yes - Eddie, Doc and Newnes/Martin will improve us..but to win more often than we lose is down to these top-end youngsters' improvement.

Will be reading every training report intently to see how these 12 players in particular are training.
 
Reckon Willo has huge upside, just needs a good run at it. Good skills, doesn’t take a backward step, good size.

If he comes good, won’t need to chase Whitfield as a FA.
