Toast Sam "Frodo" Gray

[PatientMental]

Going to be difficult for hoon, young and moore to get games next year if all goes well you would think. They, and us, have to be considering their options. I think both Young and Moore will go, Hoon to stay.

I still think:
Moore will be traded probably to Richmond or some other Victorian team,
Butcher will get delisted and then rookied.
Redden will get delisted and then rookied.
Shaw will walk,
Harvey/Young will go. *
Cornes to move into the drive show at 5aa,

Russell will be delisted,
Logan will retire,

Gray and Krakouer to the senior list.

Out:
6 Senior delistings
2 Rookie upgrades

In:
1 Charlie Dixon
3 Draft picks

**Had to find an extra draft pick.

Did you consider potential delistings for next year with your proposal?

 

[Stryke]

LINSAMITY!

This has been my point.

 

[Sleezy]

Hate the thread title. There was a hobbit called Sam ffs!

I propose the thread title be changed to 'Sam "the Intimidator" Gray' after his rib crunching hip and shoulder on the weekend.

All in favour?

I see that question raised often. When i do, i think back to last year when the same question was raised. Funnily enough - there are a number of players that have put their names up for delisting through poor/inconsistent performance. The same will happen next year.

And if it doesn't? It probably means we made the big dance. I'd take hard list mgmt decisions and a flag over easy delistings any day of the week.

Those that have suggested trading Sam have rocks in their heads. On a positive note the form of sam, ah chee and the like is healthy for our list going foward. It puts more pressure on our first 22 to perform week in week out.

Sam's finish to the season was superb.

It was amazing.

I'll leave the Butch lovers to it, Sam was the feel good story at the end of this crappola season

 

[Portmanteau]

Averaged 28.5 disposals over 6 games after coming back into the side.

I am so happy for Sam and his family. He has worked extremely hard on his career and it is now paying dividends. No for his bro to turn it on.

 

[achee acheeman]

How many times does he get burnt in the fwd 50?...

He might be so small they dont see him

 

[NoddyHolder]

I predict Sam will go top 3 for us in the Brownlow

It will be interesting to see how many votes he gets. He deserves to poll well but I don't have a lot of faith in the umpires.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Umpires are so incompetent that he might have won Robbie Gray the Brownlow.

I say Yes for his brother to turn it on!

Hand up didn't think he would make it has been great past few weeks.

My wallet likes this.

Liked kens presser when asked what he learned and he answered that Sam was a midfielder and should be played there. Nice admission. Good onya Sam. Such a great one
club story

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Another awesome game by Sammy! We have an immensely good footballer on our hands here.

Sam Gray is a burning example for those that call for the heads of players before they are given a fair chance. Stop before you speak/type, take a big breath then go kiss the ones you love

He is also an exceptional role model to players who need to have faith and belief in themselves that they can make it. With the rite work ethic and determination.

 

[RossFC]

Averaging 35 touches in the last 3 weeks and ave over 30 disposals in last 5 weeks.

 

[Peck]

It's early days, but has a player ever turned it around like this before? I honestly think that if we had things go well enough that we were playing finals Sam may never have gotten another chance, though perhaps the coaches saw this in him all along?

Either way he has been pretty much our best player in the last few weeks, and his numbers are absolutely ridiculous. Can't wait to see how he goes next year, especially as he is just the kind of player we need in the midfield.

He was played out of position mate and performed accordingly.. people were rightly non-plussed at the time & had it continued every man and his dog on this board would still be calling for him to be delisted.

Thankfully Ken and Co. saw the light and we got to see Sam where he belongs and he excelled but I can't say I blame anyone for writing him off on this board.
