Pick 18 WHAT A STEAL!

 

[Grave Danger]

Some people in my unit complex have a set of black, white and teal striped bed linen on the clothes line atm. I wonder why they needed washing

So deserved! Really looking forward to following his career. Other than Ollie, I can't remember a more memorable debut by a Port player.

Can he maintain it? If he can, look out!

Congrats sam. Well deserved!

Your avatar/username combo just made me lose some s**t.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Well done Sam. Now play like that home and we wI'll go from 4 wins at home to 10 wins at home this season.

So what do those whingers now reckon about Victorians ignoring port players?

You spell Brownlow Medal strangely...

It's not 2018 yet.

These desperately horrible attempts at giving him a nickname is ruining what should be my favourite thread. Travis Boak repeatedly referred to him as Pep, the players have spoken.

 

[Dylan8]

Head down and arse up now young fella.

it's a bit long for a nickname but it'll do

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Tim Watson is in love with him. Called him a beast at the start of the show and again just after they announced him as this weeks RS nomination announcement. Said Sam and Ollie are going to cause a lot of sides problems.

 

[Alfred_]

But but but he can't kick

 

[Lou Zyffer]

Just got a text informing me off SPP's RS nom.

Congratulations Sam. Well deserved.

Great news! An absolute dream start to Sam's AFL career. Only 5 and a half days till we see him in action again....can't wait.

And a quick kudos to Geoff Parker and the recruiting team.

[Kingfish73]

So happy for the lad. Well deserved and this guy is going to be elite

 

[Pappagallo]

I love how he just cannons into Hewett with his 2nd effort.

 

[Janus]

Congrats to Sam. I'd like to say it doesn't get any easier, but let's face it - Sydney in Sydney, playing on guys like Kennedy, Hannebery and Parker is pretty much the pinnacle of contested ball opposition, so it will get a lot easier.

Funny thing is my brother started calling him Pep during the Sydney match

Wines, Powell-Pepper and Byrne-Jones!

A trio that guarantees my membership for the next ten years

 

[Brian McGee]

That hit on Zac jones I think it was at 1:10.

 

[LukeSA]

I would love it if with SPP and Wines, you pick on one you have to answer to the other.

 

[PortMacPower]

Best debut I can remember at Port since Jnr Burger and Wines I reckon.

On ZTE Blade A475 using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Schulzenfest]

Haha, love it. I say this in the most positive way possible, Sam's got a bit of headwobble about him.

 

[manureid]

Didnt see some of that in close work when at the game he did. Those highlights of his attack in some of those contesrts was awesome.

 

[mic59]

Would like to hear Sam being talked about on Footy Classified but these they'll probably spend the first 90% of the show rambling on about Essendon back after their lay-off and Roughie's return. Then Sam will get about a 2 minute mention. Doesn't seem worth staying up for that.
