I also didnt realise he was eligible.
I dont think he plays like a 25yo, because I still have questions over his disposal/decision making after those runs (but as long as they aren't straight turnovers, you can live with some errant kicks, given how much he helps in breaking the lines and get quick entries into our fwd half/50).
I do think he plays like someone with a good 25-30 AFL games under his belt though - theres definitely something in the way Sydney develops these guys, especially when the NEAFL is sub-par.
Now we’re just waiting for Cox to employ that saying.
Was Chicken Hawk also handy with his pace and booming kicking from a half back flank?View attachment 480967
Reminds me off Chicken Hawk from Foghorn Leghorn.
Been great for us.. keep it up!

I’m unfamiliar with the cartoon.
Well done on your nomination Sam. You appear to be well worth what we paid, as we've had top 10 draft picks achieve far less.
I was wrong, I may have overreacted. It’s only been 3 games but he looks the goods so far. He could be an overall contender I didn’t expect this nomination so soon. Will be tough against the likes of Uniacke Davies, Liam Ryan and Cerra based on their first couple of games too.Have a look for yourself. Here is a link to the page where the trade was announced. Amazing over reactions.

Congrats to Sam, solid and pleasing start.

I’ll take your word for it?I’m a rooster boy, a rooster I say.
You paying attention son? A bit dim witted.
I’m no chicken, a rooster boy a rooster.

It’s actually quite a good cartoon, from the loony tunes series.I’ll take your word for it?
I think posters (myself included) had every right to be sceptical at the price paid for a rookie. Right to ask questions about why the swans hadn't picked him... and right to doubt the quality of NEAFL competition as an accurate gauge for Murray's ability to have an AFL career.
And I'm sure Hine thought he'd cost less... more like a 3rd... but backed himself once the Swans upped the price.
So far so good. An about value pick up considering free agent Pittard would have cost serious $$$ to prise away from Port. And Saad a future 2nd anyway. We get a player of similar quality to those two AND a late 3rd round pick.
Mind you there is a fair chance we finish bottom 6 again and hand the swans pick 25-26 and swans finish top 4 and we get pick 56 or so back - points towards Quaynor
But be prepared.. losing an early 2nd is still gonna hurt on draft night.
But congrats to Sam! His line breaking, sidestep and unpredictability make him an asset to what has (Crisp excepted) been a pedestrian speed and predictable back 6 for some time.
Hopefully a 200 game career beckons.
Liam Ryan is apparently set for a long stint on the sidelines due to injury. He did turn 21 late last year, so isn't eligible for the Rising Star Award anyway.I was wrong, I may have overreacted.

Sorry if I've misread this Bad Horse, but in terms of the number of games the player has played, all that matters is that they haven't played more than 10 games (i.e. 11+ !) prior to the season commencing. For instance, our Darcy Moore was nominated after his 24th game, and if a player had (the maximum) 10 games before the season commenced, then played all 22 games and was nominated after rd. 23 that would be his 32nd game.Hes 20 and played 3. Cutoff is 21 and 10 I think.
We've got plenty of Rising Star nominees in the team, but he's our first since Tom Phillips last year. We have 14 players on our list currently who have received a nomination, regardless of when (and even where) they received that nomination.So have we now got 2 rising star nominees in the team? All of a sudden the youth is looking strong......
