I reckon you're a bit harsh. His goals weren't flukes - there were not many but there were repeat long distance goals in full flight, real quality wing man stuff. He's been cruelled by injury since. I agree he still has got to prove he can consistently deliver but if he gets his body right I think he can own a wing.
Agree, he has at times looked like the wing we need with great run and inspiring goals. Don’t know what happened to his kicking last year, perhaps related to that horrible knee injury? But I do love his attack on the ball, he is the opposite of Freddie and Sharp and everyone should be hoping for his return to form as his best makes the team better.
Has never once looked like a million bucks when he can’t kick on both sides of his feet

I saw that as well, maybe it isn’t the full 12 month rehab, was it a full reconstruction or just some stabilising surgery?
No talk about using the SSP to replace him either (except on here).
Voss was asked who he thought were some of the strongest players at the club in terms of pound for pound and he said Sturt. Pretty impressive considering most would consider strength an issue for Sam in the years he has been on our list. I still think Sam's a nice wildcard to have on our list. If he comes good it's a total bonus.
Mason Cox rightfully pointed out the AFL should have given the rights out to the game for free during the Covid lockdowns to the entire world, and was quite audibly frustrated that the AFL didn't even try to maximise the situation, then reap the follow on affects that would have happened from such a move.
Moose took years. Hopefully Sam gets the chance.
He shouldn’t be.
yeah I'm happy to keep one talented bloke on the injury list to give our rehab people something to do. Been pretty good the last few years generally compared to some in the past going into round 1, e.g.
I don’t believe it was a full rupture. Described as unstable ACL. As such should be a better/quicker outcome than full rupture. In saying that I’d expect early July timeframe, which is 11 months and then a gradual build over the subsequent 4 weeks via managed mins in reserves and league etc.Injury update: Sam Sturt
Fremantle forward Sam Sturt will undergo a knee reconstructionwww.fremantlefc.com.au
According to the above link dated August 10, it was a full reconstruction, which would have been some time in mid August.
Will Aschroft - ACL 22 July, AFL return 28 June (can't see any record of him coming back via VFL?)
Darcy Jones - ACL 03 April, VFL return 24 March, AFL return 25 April
Georgiades - ACL 23 April, SANFL return 29 March, AFL return 05 April
It's possible Sturt could get back to the WAFL in July without any setbacks. But he would seem like the type that needs a solid WAFL block before earning an AFL recall, and he might run out of games.
I'm demand avoidant
Still enough time to impact if he's good enough and the team is good enough to be playing well into September.
Who knows what the injury list looks like by July. Personally I think we'd consider him if two of the KPFs or rucks were injured and he'd had a month in the WAFL.
