Young bloke with half an arm

[Murray]

I played against Sammy in juniors when he was at Hastings. He uses his stump to hold the ball somehow, and uses his other hand to fist the ball. there would be no problems with his game, rule wise.

Was a really gutsy kid and won the league best and fairest in the MPJFL. He really deserves a chance but I can't see any clubs picking him up. I would most likely think he will end up at Crib Point playing in the 1's with Lukey Herrington.

Don't be surprised if he ends up at one of the first division clubs.

Draft him, then trade him to Freo for Pavlich and a First round pick.

Half and Arm? Geez thats incredible. How would he mark the ball exactly?

he'll go no 2 in the pre-season draft after mclaren now...good luck to him...i love guys who can get the best out of themselves no matter what

sounds like he's made it

the guy from Silence Of the lambs and backdraft "Scott Glenn" played in a movie about a guy ...true story from the 1950's ish ...of a one armed guy who got to the top level of baseball in the USA...the yankees i think

so it has happened, but baseball isn't AFL

I heard Chelsea are chasing hard for him. I didn't know about Pines though.

When it comes to drafting clubs look at the potential for improvement vs. any potential risks. As wonderful as Sam has been to get to this level I sincerely doubt whether any club would see sufficient potential there to gamble a rookie list position on a player with what is a significant disability.

He's clearly been resilient enough to overcome that and not only live normally as possible, but excel. However, ultimately we are talking about elite sport with plenty of talented players each year overlooked or delisted. Any talk about him being drafted is romantic, but not realistic.

Family connections at both clubs.

Goosey (Mornington) was keen on him too, before the Goose took up a position with an AFL club.

On a bit of a different track, I had never heard of him before this and to read about him and see the photo makes you think about all the times that you think its all to hard.

I mean who likes pre season? All the push ups?, the road runs? and all the other stuff, but seems like he does it all, must have a great view on life and would be a pleasure to meet.

His best attribute for me is his tackling. He is a machine when it comes to that aspect of the game.

He was invited to try out for the vic metro 18s this year. I was there for the squads practise match and witnessed the best tackling I've ever witnessed. He is unbelievable, best of luck to him!

The man called SNAKE, the bloke is a true legend. Being one of his best mates, the man can drink a can or two, after this years grand final he and a number of others went out hard on the sunday, but he is a true top bloke, loves his footy, beer and punting. And his sister looks alright aswell., but the bloke is a Legend
