As bad a selection as I can't recall

 

[Googstar]

Just not ready but what was the plan with him? Play his natrual position ruck or keep him in the forward line where he looked totally lost. Strange selection on a wet night. Hopefully he now understands how hard you have to work to play AFL.

 

[Tanski]

Unfair on this kid. Conditions not suited to a 207cm debutant. Really feel for the young bloke, hopefully it doesn't play with him mentally - like Jack watts

 

[TigerImposter]

Two years away. How anybody in the selection panel thought he was ready for a game must have marbles in their head.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

****ing ridiculous decision to play him given the conditions and the lack of other experience options who could step up when he was always going to a long way off being ready.

He literally was struggling last week trying to out mark smaller opponents, he had to be picked based on his potential ruck work and yet wasn't sighted there until the game was over.

Not the kids fault by the way. Was always going to be a project who has been gifted a game.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

his grandma knew more than our selection panel.

 

[richcogs]

When has a debutant ever not had a single possession?

 

[fargothegreat]

Clearly not ready, but people need to back off this kid. The way we moved the ball forward tonight made it impossible for any of our forwards to do any damage, let alone a first gamer.

True. He ran at 100% efficiency. Can’t ask for more than that

 

[ldamico]

Feel bad for the kid.

Clearly not ready to come in and play against two solid rucks in Ryder and Marshall.

Hope this doesn't ruin his confidence.

Exactly right mate

Kid is way to skinny and not enough strength to compete and in a night like tonight it was an atrocious call to debut a 207cm skinny kid

 

[tiger_tough]

DoItForCaptBlood that was me that said he wasn't ready

Welcome back TI , SPOT ON, do what lot of Morons that EAT their own on here do? Blame Garthwaite. ha ha ha.

 

[Vassp]

Lay off him, it was a tough night for our seasoned pros......

it was a horrible game to play your first game it, we had absolutely zero structure after 15 minutes into the first half.

 

[living_in_syd]

Selection panel deserve a good roast for this. Probably killed his career too. He was a good prospect but this was the fastest way to kill any confidence. Well done.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Wasn’t ready and its difficult to blame a first game player in a game where pretty much everyone else was shit

 

[GoTigers2015]

For posters bagging Samson, yes he looked a long way off. Far from being the factor that cost us the game.

Welcome back
We missed you mate
Hope all is well
Don't be a stranger

I think mostly people are bagging rhe selection when he clearly was not ready and the shit conditions in which he was picked.
I've seen him play vfl live. He's 3 years away at least
I was staggered he was selected.
Silly idea

With balta going down. Looks like miller is going to get a gig next week. At least he has had some time to bulk up

 

[Vitalogy]

DONUTS

 

[Joey longshadow]

Rough night to debut even if you were AFL ready and he clearly wasn't ....hope it doesn't scar him ...we were rubbish tonight against a very limited opposition who are themselves going nowhere

 

[Spacedog]

He clearly wasn't ready, arrogant from the coaches to pick him. Should've stuck with Caddy or even brought Garthwaite in and put Balta forward if they were that desperate for another tall

 

[juss]

He was set up to fail.
Not his fault.

 

[BringOn2017]

Selection panel deserve a good roast for this. Probably killed his career too. He was a good prospect but this was the fastest way to kill any confidence. Well done.

If you don’t make it because of confidence issues based on your debut, you were never going to.

Good luck kid, only 1 game.
