Past #24: Sam Durdin - delisted after 21 NM games/1 NM goal - thanks Durds (drafted by Carlton in '22 MSD)

[roojor]

Of all the players to play their first game he has the most upside compared to last year Improved out of sight

 

[DEVO]

All the best for Saturday Sam, give 'em hell.

 

[kangaspurs]

Has come from a long way back. Am over the moon he's getting a go. Will put my hand up............. I never thought we'd see this day. Good luck Durds.

Is it simply a case of him having a full pre-season in what is perceived by many to be his best position, which in turn has given him confidence, or has there been a significant attitude change?

In your opinion, of course.

 

[Frank Thring]

All the best kid.

You're playing against one of the best plastic teams in the land, so expectations aren't exceptionally high.
25 touches, 10 marks and 2 goals from CHB should be a good starting point.

It's this type of acceptance of mediocrity that is rife throughout the club.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Classy stuff by EVW and the end of that video. Very happy for Durds.

Nice seeing all the 2014 ND draftees getting around each other at the end of that video. They've had a hard start to their careers all of them.

they finally realised he was a defender and not a forwards arsehole. Full preseason helps but he pretty much always played well at VFL level when he played in defence. He also looks like he spent some of the offseason in the gym.

 

[Twinkletoes]

All the best for the debut Sam.

Deepest voice at North for some time.

Since Shaun Higgins.

:stern look

 

[Tas]

I hope he plays like he did during the pre-season.

 

[darko]

Go get 'em Durds.

 

[tazaa]

Your time will come also ed

Kinda wish they could have played their first together

 

[WesternRoo]

This bloke should be a permanent fixture after this week

If he stinks it up, leave him in. Couldn't be worse than Thompson/Hansen

Sam Durbin (Shinboner 1000)

Needs a run of games for sure, and has earned it.

 

[Long Live the King]

Whilst its obvious list management typically focuses on the "future" you got the impression (and its debatable) that up until now North's focused on the "now". But that seems to be changing...and so far it appears for the better. Patience is required.

 

[Jack Bradley]

Will he get Cameron?

Ed has some fierce competition ahead of him

Got to love Lachie, he does not deserve half the crap he gets from supporters.

I do believe he has shown massive improvement that many thought wasn't possible- exiting times.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Give em hell you big ugly bastard.
