Player Watch Pick #18 (2016) - Sam Powell-Pepper

[portly]

Well done Sam. And you have at least another 10 years of it to look forward to.

And so do we.

 

[NEGAN]

Congrats SPP

So happy we got you, do not care about our trades if picks last year all because I pretend we got you with 9.

 

[Smithy7]

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

Sam will make a few opposition heads wobble a bit when he hits them

Congrats!

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.

If we left it up to the players everyone's name would be an abbreviation of their real name or just adding 'ie' to the end of it.

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.

There was nothing in that highlight package I couldn't recall from the game. In saying that though, when you look at his game in isolation it becomes apparent that both offensively and defensively he was worth far more to us than the 2 he scored off his own boot.

I mean he was just never out of the contest until the ball was completely out of the area. Time and time again he chased his own work, harassed, tackled, pushed the ball to advantage and just didn't stop until the ball had completely cleared his area. He never gave up on it or gave the impression he'd put in an effort and was letting somebody else have a crack. Thoroughly impressive second and third efforts and more.

Look out Freo. This kids gonna have 50,000 Port fans cheering him on in a few days. I don't think he'll play any less of a game. The Pepe express is comin'.

GET THE F*** in Sergeant Pepper

Head down and arse up now young fella.

I think he'll be OK. For those who missed it or have forgotten I put this up on Nov 25th the day we drafted him
enjoy

Congrats!

I just don't think those Swan players were as keen as they could have been to tackle Sam.

 

[Steve Dore]

Congrats Sam

 

[Killer Power]

The big bonus / surprise for me was the way in which he impacted the scoreboard. If he can have a 30+ goal season playing the role he did on Saturday it adds a new dimension to our attack.

Congrats!

he's a maniac

A Sergeant Pepper banner would be great.

Maybe someone with photo shop skills could rework Sargent Peppers album cover with Sam surrounded by the players?

As long as they don't include someone wearing a "Welcome The Adelaide Crows" shirt. Or maybe they should given it was a dummy.

I think we have another bull on the paddock

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Needs to stop pushing his hair to the side...

I'd still love to cuddle him tho.

 

[CharlieKelly]

someone on Reddit went to school with him in Perth, dinger with the gold!

"Did he ever get into schoolyard fights? Did he attend their funeral afterwards?"

Reporters on the draft are known for their overstatement and "might be the best" sounds like that. But the simple fact he was talked of in such terms should have meant he would go top 10, certainly not get to us at 18. With his commitment to changing his body and with his draft camp results it is amazing to think that ten clubs had picks before us. And that is clubs, some of them had multiple picks and would have been able to fill their needs and then go for SPP. Although I think GWS, Brisbane and GCS may be a bit wary of WA players after the Cam McCarthy incident.

It's great that so many clubs overlooked him but lets not forget he was our second pick.

Yeah, let's see their response when Marshall is up and about. I have a good feeling about that one too.

Just need someone with photoshop skills to fix this?
