[stabler]

Sorry for intruding, but was browsing the HS when I found this and thought that there might be a few around here who may be interested:

Was a good read, apologies if the link's already been posted somewhere else

Any chance someone could post the content of the article... The Murdoch press can GFI

Cheers mate.

Sounds like a good kid. Hopefully can play 1 or 2 games next year.

Full article quoting is a no no on BF unfortunately so I've deleted it.

Sam with his grandfather Murray and presumably his sister in 2007 post Australian Football Hall of Fame induction for Murray.

Bit more action at the back, but that fringe..

Why are parents so cruel?

 

[Meds]

His haircut then compared to now pretty much sums up the difference between Collingwood and Melbourne supporters

What is his current situation ?

 

[Bluelegs]

What is his current situation ?

Still pretty raw. I expect he'll have a good stint at Casey before getting a game in the main side.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

What is his current situation ?

Developing.

What is his current situation ?

IMO well only see him this year if he dominates in the VFL. Will give him a year of development otherwise

I'd delist him just for that haircut tbh.

Really looking forward to seeing the Weed down at Casey this year!

won't be a bad forward line down at Casey with the Weed, Hulett and Max King clunking marks and JKH and Hunt eating up the crumbs.

Not to mention one of Dawes or Pedo (once Dawes returns)

Then at any time a couple of Harmes, Michie, Newton, Petracca, Oliver, Kennedy and/or Bugg

Yeah Hulett looks a big kid!

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Yeah Hulett looks a big kid!

And he looks 30 years old.

Looks like he'd be able to play in the seniors this year.

Yep I saw that pic this week and did a double take. Was sure he was only 19. Not sure what the kid eats but crikey, I need some!

 

[WatsamattaU]

Weideman looked better today for Casey, attacked the ball well. Hullett on the other hand did close to nothing.

 

[Demon 16]

Reports coming through that Weideman showed potential today.

Didn't stay involved at all times, but took a few pack grabs which will give us something to work with

ALOT to work with

 

[Sando22]

ALOT to work with

Great news!!

Sam is apparently unlikely to play this year as he needs another 7kg's. The club is very happy with his 3 X VFL games thus far. Kicking 3 in each match at this stage of his development and training load.

The club has him penciled in as one of 13 future players on the list that will be rated elite at the 80 game mark.

Interesting information, how have you come by it? How are they predicting future eliteness?
