Pick 62, 2012 draft - Sam Siggins

[WaynesWorld19]

Could have also meant the 9th KPD they had ranked on their list. There is simply no way he was ever close to a 1st round prospect, let alone a top 10 pick.

don't think they rank players by position ....we couldn't afford to with our first pick at 62

 

[FR0GGY]

9th best sam in the draft?

 

[ftmch]

So we gonna call him winnie blue?

Stuyvey

 

[boffo]

wow, the Sigster can play!

Looks a better highlights reel than Angus Graham's.

If he makes it, could this be the start of the Hamish legend?

 

[SydCrow]

geez those highlights the vision, quick hands, marking and physical cofidence. The kid just oozes, what's that thing that Kurt doesn't have? Oh yeah, class.

Does Siggy play guitar?

 

[Jerome]

Graham, Osborn and now Siggins. I dont think we have ever recruited three Tassie blokes in one year. Guess its to be expected as Ogilvie used to be in charge of the Tassie U18's.

 

[jenny61_99]

Yes like it, then you get to unlike it.

That's not helpful at all!

Marlborough man!

could also add Tassie born and raised Ian Callinan as whe did 'technically' pick him up in the draft

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

He is fantastic below his knees for a big guy

He reminds me of Fletcher

 

[CrowAboutIt]

Not as Unco with better skills.

He doesn't take 10 seconds to handball

 

[sworc]

Marlborough man!

lucky strike

 

[FR0GGY]

Wonder if his host family lives in wingfield?

Ranked 9th on our list doesn't mean we rated him as the 9th best player in the draft. Just that on our list of players we thought we were any chance of getting, ranked by our needs, he was 9th. Which still seems unlikely, but not impossible. I always reckon it's a crap shoot beyond the second round, I reckon players 40-80 or so could go in absolutely any order.

I like the look of his highlights though! Looks like he's a very quick and instinctive thinker with the ball, which is important for a big man. Certainly for pick 62 he looks like he has something going for him!

Are people forgetting how skinny Bock was when he came to the club? Love his disposal

 

[Stiffy_18]

I see the spin is already out since he had him 9th

Seriously, I like a lot of things about this pick. A big sized defender with great agility. From the highligh video, I am loving the marking in packs and his willingness to attack by moving the ball on. I love how he attacks, he disposes of the ball and then continues running for the handball receive.

We just might have found replacement for Bock. Who knows?! But with pick in the 60s, you've got to be happy with that.

I do like that for both of our picks, we called out the names straight away. No need to extra time, no need to even think about it just calling the names straight out. This tells me that we rated these kids highly (possibly at these selections) and did not need any time to think it through.

How else is Tassie going to get a team in Vlad's competition!

 

[JP Sauce]

Wait, so Sam Siggins is a real person and not a character in a fairy tale? Well I'll be...

Thought the same thing watching his vid. Fletcher came to mind very quickly.
It will be interesting to see what Sando and his team can do with this kid. Heaps of potential there.

 

[xchadders]

Tasmanian KPP Defender - no go home factor to worry about.

and trust me, you wouldnt want to live in lauderdale.

 

[Jetwa5h]

He dosnt mind running with the ball, plus liked the way he puts himself into a position to allow his team to use him to link up through the corridor. The other thing that stood out to me was his body positioning in a contest. Looks like theres enough their to work with.
Remember the last player we got from a local league who had been playing against men as a junior he turned out just fine.

 

[woopedazz]

He looked like an absolute bully in that video. Throwing guys around without any regard for them. Looked strong and sure of himself. I like him already.

 

[Schulzycrow]

So we gonna call him winnie blue?

Benson and Hedges coz he's gold.

 

[macca23]

It is not my think no more... I originated the like of posts around here (I think?), and now others can imitate!

I cannot like no more, so to see others liking stuff makes my liking past feel happy again!

May the Like button I once had Rest In Peace...

You're rather like a sex maniac without a penis now!!
