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

I suspect he will be like Heppell.

If he works as hard as Heppell he will be a very good player. I was really impressed with his ability and attitude last season. With a full pre season and now being a full
time footballer I really expect him to shine.

 

[astrowizzle]

I do that after the drafts

Him and redman have that nice bit of vicious
mongrel about them. You can't teach that.

Off-topic but, surely Cyborg's number is taken by Kelly.

On topic, Durham getting a guernsey promotion shows he's highly rated.

We can all agree that Sam has the tools required to be a consistent contributor at the level, just needs to work on that composure for it to really show his impact.

He has given us a taste, hoping with a full (AFL) pre season into him, he can hit the ground running and lock down a wing spot for us moving forward.

So apparently he missed the intraclub due to a corkie, should hopefully be able to play tomorrow though

“Durham had a significant calf cork out of training and missed the game as a precaution. He’ll aim to train fully this week and hopefully line up on Wednesday."

Strong line-up set to feature against Dogs

The Bombers are set to have a healthy list for Wednesday's practice match.

Not named.

Still injured or just not selected?

Not on the injury list, not that that means anything.

I hope they don't forget about him, realistically if we're picking on structure not talent he's probably the 12th or 13th picked, but alas.

Cox obviously has the higher ceiling (may actually have a higher ceiling than anyone) but Durham's understanding of the wing role is greater at this stage.

I assume he's competing with guys like Cox and Langford for a wing role. Langford is clearly ahead of both, and Cox probably given first crack at it, especially if Durham is a bit underdone.

Not too worried that he’s not in contention right now. Based on how good he was last year I don’t think it will take long for him to string some good VFL form together to make them consider him. Hopefully Hobbs and Wanganeen are able to do the same.

Like Stringer they want to give him a bit more training.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Bring Durham back, He works hard and goes hard regardless of his slight frame.

 

[ghostdog]

Holds his width, but can he lay a tackle now when they try to run around us?

 

[eth-dog]

He's had an interrupted pre-season. Think he played a half in the VFL today. Maybe not next week but the week after yes.

 

[fairbump_playon]

A very long way in front of Ham once fit

My only concern with Durrie. Hope they made a point of working on it because it seemed to be his only fault

 

[Zach Package]

Don’t laugh but I think in terms of structural importance and players who’s attributes cannot be replaced by others on the list it’s currently

1.Draper
2.Laverde
3.Wright
4.Stringer
5.Perkins
6.Durham

Has ‘best in the AFL at his position’ potential.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

An underdone Durham produced a higher standard of wing play in Q1 than Cox has shown since the bye last year (and really, longer).

 

[Vander18]

Love his competitiveness and courage.

He is an unconditional footballer….we don’t have many of them.

 

[Bjchan13]

He plays blue collar, team first footy. The whole team should be doing it if they want to achieve anything

 

[ant555]

Started well but in the end looked like he was one run short to use a racing term.

 

[naraku]

The way Sam goes about his game is great to watch

 

[VelvetSledge]

Awesome tonight.

Hard as a cats head

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Everything I wanted Nick Komma to be.
