He's actually deceptively strong in a one on one contest, numerous times I've seen him work a larger opponent under the ball to take a contested mark
Honestly, I’m a big fan of Sturt but he had lost a few too many 1v1 contests this year. I’d agree when he first played he looked he really strong but for some reason, I think that’s deserted him a little bit despite being noticeably stronger
 
I have done all my drinking. I drank your share while I was at it, incidentally, but you can keep the bottle-o.

Sam is crafty - he uses his body well (we all remember him gooseifying Hurley) and has tricks (sneaking up on Lycett) but he just doesn't command the footy. I'd kick it to him every day - Dean needs a boozer.

Have been impressed with the improvement in Kieran Briggs..he's a freaking monster now and his skills and confidence are on the up

Did Reidy do enough to be worth a try this week.. not sure how Jackson will go against a guy that huge

🤣 Are you Sturts dad.. .Sheesh.

I'll post what I want ok 😃
I know you're both number 1 supporters of each player but I dont think you're doing yourself any favours trying to justify ya boys 2 disposal game as anything other than terrible. Got to take the loss on this one

Whether that's the case or not, I don't see how that prevents me from commenting how I wish and copping insults from it

Saying banners would of been handy in the 4th quarter when their defense was starting to intercept those marks is reasonable. Didn't say he necessarily could of though.

If someone does not like my comment they can ignore it. Not post an insult. I don't go around doing that and I expect the same

I'm not sure we can start calling "are you his mum" an insult or we'll start deleting a lot of stuff though I suppose Spirit Level could stop saying it repeatedly and just agree to disagree.

For example, I dont think there's really any justification or reasoning for lamenting Banfield being subbed off because we were playing basically with 21 players before he was so we'll agree to disagree. If Sturt's Dad could stop calling you Banners mum that would be great though :thumbsu:
 
I reckon Sammy Sturt lacks only consistent marking ability to be a classic half forward flanker who, on his day, could bob up for a lazy two or three.

Beautiful kick of the footy. Fast. Crafty. Opportunistic. Doesn't create, only benefits - textbook flanker really.

Those kinds of blokes are at the mercy of supply and will continually wax and wane in the public eye. They are also the sorts of blokes who win Norm Smiths.

I like a forward line that has three beautiful kicks at goal in it. Nev, Kahuna and Sturt are all natural goal kickers.

That sensational droppunt goal from the pocket Sturt kicked? He never looked like missing. Cool as a ******* cucumber. Which has just been removed from the freezer, from behind the footy franks. By the Ice Queen. In winter.

I’ve always hoped that Sturt could become our Bailey Fritsch. He is actually taller and quicker than Fritsch (Sturt was top 10 in the 20m in his draft year). Over his career Fritsch averages 15 possessions and 1.6 goals a game with his highest disposals averages in his early years. In Melb’s premiership year Fritsch actually averaged 10 disposals, but 2.4 goals a game. I can see Sturt doing that if he gets his confidence up

Yeah I'm remembering a few before his big knee injury but he also took a nice contested mark against Brisbane this year from memory.

It's a bonus if he can improve his contested marking anyway IMO as his strength is leading and finding space

The 1v1 monstoring if Hurley in the goal square sticks out to me, he needs to be at least halving the majority of his aerial contests to stay in the team IMO

Hurley was on his way out, his poor 1 on 1 from that year and the years that followed ultimately lead to his exclusion / retirement. I don’t think it’s anything to write home about.

Sturt did what he had to do at that time and got us back in the game, how is that not a positive when Hurley had 10kgs on him?

Although, if one of them is Sturts ā€˜s mum and the other one Banfield’s dad, then maybe they should quite literally get a room? In 20 years time we might have the best of both rolled into one !!!🤣

I have a feeling the "Mum" title is in name only and the biology of the two creating Samly Sturtfield to lead us to premiership glory in 20 years might be difficult
