It was a fair call.......and he did with another great effort.....the penny may have dropped.Back off Jack.
i dont know if the two would fighting for the same spot to be honest.Are there people still out there thinking Harper still deserves to be in the side over Sammy?
Yeah, but when the poster context is one of continual criticism and I have a soft spot for Sammy and there was a sort of alliterative opportunity, well...It was a fair call.......and he did with another great effort.....the penny may have dropped.

Okay let's get something straight, he is 23 years old. Came to the club requiring a lot of work on his upper body, has struggled with consistency in his games, now as I stated it's hard to fault, as well as not get excited about his form since returning to the team. He has been playing for his career and it really shows, if he can consistently play like he has since returning to the 22, with his age being considered, it's very possible that he could take it to much higher levels. He will become a real weapon in our back 6, his kick and defensive ability was first class last night, and I think what's really exciting about him coming on, is that it releases LMac and Atley to become more attacking. There is definitely a chance that he will remain a bit inconsistent, but he has shown why he is worth persisting with, he adds a lot to our team.
With Atley, MacMillan, McDonald, Mullett can be in the mix for a solid back 6-7.
Comments seem to come from specific questions in the presser, in this case about Sam's form. Rarely, if ever, is he asked 'Who impressed you today?'Unless we know the assigned role it is difficult to assess the game from the coaches point of view. Always interesting to listen to who the coaches singles out for praise.
My thoughts exactly but much more eloquently expressed.I'm one of the posters who has been critical of Sammy, and rightly so. The kid's got talent but for whatever reason, he has not been able to showcase it on a consistent basis which is frustrating for all. I'm rapt that he was able to back up last weeks performance with another cracking game. North Melbourne is better for it when he's on song. Happy to eat humble pie if he keeps delivering that sort of stuff!
Looks quicker this year.Consistency is his biggest challenge.
Lacks a yard of pace so only see his role as a defensive player (at this stage). Does that well when he' switched on.
IMO, Sammy doesnt have a wrong foot, equally proficient left or rightDid anyone see him gather the ball on the wing and kick a 50m pass off the wrong foot? Not many in the AFL can do that.
Happy to say that he's my man.
