AFL Player #22: Sam Durham

[eth-dog]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2029
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 15, Zach Package

 

[Petrify]

I want to know why he's only getting 74% time on ground, Perkins is getting more at 75%. Isn't he the fittest guy on our list?

For reference, Merrett is at 86%, Martin at 88%, Caldwell at 86%.

He's a star and needs more time in the guts.

Gotta give the rest of the league a chance

Reckon he's gunna end up all banged up like Cripps if we don't save him from himself

Agree. He'll have down weeks and soreness. They way he recklessly charges into a stoppage reminds me of SPP, but the way he can explode out reminds me of Cripps. Sooner or later he'll come a gutser and it will hurt. We need to find that Setterfield clone, or maybe a Duz clone.

Whats the solution to this? Putting on more KGs? Less game time?

Trade?

 

[NAB777]

When Collingwood & Carlton work colleagues are telling me he's a gun....he's a gun.

 

[Ambrosia]

He's got serious wheels. Just sprinting past opposition players while picking up the footy

 

[ghostdog]

If the draft were tomorrow he'd go at pick...?

Cripps ain't looking too banged up to me...

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I can scarcely believe our luck with this guy. **** we've had some luck with the supplementary and mid-season drafts. I love Marto to bits but this guy might be the all-time greatest. What a player!!

He is everything! Powerful, athletic, skilled, hard, composed, fast, and dreamy-looking. It's outrageous

Don't really want to mess with a good thing but maybe get him to play more outside to use that speed. I imagine they are doing this but train him to protect himself going into contests.

Also looked like he had "it" the moment he stepped onto the field for us.
Obviously I didn't see this coming but I think most casual fans can tell when someone has that intangible something that you know they are going to work out.

I find it fascinating that professionals paid to identify talent allow so many of these guys to go undrafted.

 

[Kong]

Merrett obviously has the runs on the board, but Durham would arguably be the club's best player now.

He's just about faultless.

 

[astrowizzle]

He's just showing off to his missus

No fear -brilliant

Yep, being overlooked in consecutive drafts when deep within you know you've got what it takes gives some players that chip on their shoulder which leads them to never be satisfied. Hopefully this is Duz, and hopefully he's never satisfied meaning he'll never rest on his laurels as long as he's on our list.

No need to burn him out with his first full season playing on ball

Hard to beleieve it is first year on the ball. Even Walsh for the Blues wasn't this good.

He is Superman.

I think he nominated for the 2020 draft without being taken.

If we redid that draft he might be third behind Gulden and Holmes.

 

[ghostdog]

Yes. Harley Reid plays like Sam Durham.
