AFL Player #22: Sam Durham - Pendlebury confesses to soiling himself - 26/5

[eth-dog]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 15, Zach Package

 

[Albertross]

Career best figures last week, glad he gets another crack.

He had a mini cheer squad sitting about 3 seats away from me last week. Everyone was so deflated when he hit the post.

 

[VexOh]

Love this campaigner

 

[biglaycock]

Doing some great things again, plenty to work with

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Very impressive first two games.

 

[andleanback]

Sit Smith zaharakis ham and cutler in a room and show them this kids game tape. Works hard and always puts his head over the ball. Already a favorite of mine.

 

[Vander18]

We have one. He’s hard at it - really accelerates into the contest at times.

Has gone past Ham with a bullet.

 

[Yoda_]

His one touch is most impressive, at pace into a contest is something else.

The wing rotation from now on should be Cox, Langford, Durham and Ham if selected, probably Merrett if not.

Kid has a mix of attributes that is very hard to find and we desperately need.

Dare i say it, we're doing the MSD well.
Snelling & Durham have been excellent pick ups.

Finally something we can win during the season.

Durham is seriously impressive. Love his attack on the ball and his skills are decent. I get genuinely excited when he gets near the ball. Dodoro is in really good form.

There is so much to like in that clip.

Indeed....every few seconds, I'm switching between 1) the hardness at the ball & 2) the not blazing away, as to what I like more.

Plus, having identified the short option (vision) he has the skill to pull his kick at the last second. I reckon we have found one.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Hardness ..but also seems a good kick.

 

[Seb78]

I know we drafted him as a half back/wing type player, but does he have the scope to play inside? Love his hardness, aggression and attack on the footy and at 185cm seems a good size as well.

from Port. This kid will never take a backwards step, plays above his weight and has a great football brain to boot.

Also basketball background.

Pendles has a basketball background did you know

Oh I never knew, explains a lot about how he just seems to always have time you know.

 

[MiguelM]

Love him, gets a bit gassed at times but never shirks an issue.

Will be exciting to see what he can do with a good preseason behind him

 

[WindyHillWarrior]

A full preseason and onto a wing in 2022

 

[The Devils Advocate]

This is a ludicrous pick up. If we had 3 more of him instead of Smith, Zaka and Ham, we'd win a final.

 

[Lore]

Over 800m of high intensity run last weekend – good that he was able to back it up after his debut the week before.
