AFL Player #22: Sam Durham

[eth-dog]

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

 

[Nifft]

4 years is 2 to long.

Probably front loaded.

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

anyone else feel like we’ve gotten Sydneysiders more engaged with footy in the last week than even when they’ve been playing in a grand final?
Love to see it!

They had a good crowd in last weekend, but they certainly didn't engage in the banter at the game. Weirdest game of footy I've ever been to

 

[andleanback]

Even if he does I'm still wary on 4 years. Snelling is a great example of how quickly mid-tier players vanish after a good season or two.

There’s Durham, who is strong, big, agile and can play anywhere on the ground and still hasn’t reached his ceiling. And then snelling and 5’8 trier. Cannot even remotely compare the pair

It is a really good read. What a great kid and a terrific attitude.

Honestly thinks he’s a good chance to be skipper in 3 or 4 years when merrett hands it on.

genuinely so nice to see. love that he’s so down to earth

 

[Happyskeret]

He’s a bit cheeky too. I like that line country boys are a bit tougher than city boys. I’m a bit biased myself I must admit being a country boy myself.

If leading through demonstrable tenacity and effort is part of the criteria, I reckon he ticks that box.

congrats on 50 games Lore?

 

[WindyHillZephyr]

He is in the rooms without a sling, hopefully thats a good sign.

 

[andleanback]

Every time every ****ing time

Contract and article from twomey should’ve pulled him out of the game this week
The essendon contract curse continues

 

[Old Campaigner]

He is in the rooms without a sling, hopefully thats a good sign.

Just giving him a few days of freedom before the amputation

Subbed off with concussion

Subbed off with concussion

You get the feeling it won’t be last of his career the way attacks things

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Subbed off with concussion

how many weeks for the campaigner that tackled him?

 

[Old Campaigner]

It’s good having enough midfield depth that even if Setterfield doesn’t test negative get over his bung knee we’ve still got Hobbs and Caldwell who can spend more minutes through the middle. They might not be our preferred option but they’re both very much AFL standard.

Was he concussed?

Looked like he hurt his shoulder or AC joint.

confirmed concussion, not shocked considering he goes in head first to every contest

 

[Vander18]

Yeah - he’s a maniac.

 

[DERO]

Get him in a pre-precautionary moonboot ASAP.

Looked like his shoulder but his head hit the ground in the tackle.

 

[ant555]

Looked like his shoulder but his head hit the ground in the tackle.

also had a hit in the head earlier in the game.

 

[Gabe251]

Big contract, big injury incoming.

I hate being right sometimes.

 

[DERO]

what was the result in the end? Radio was saying AC injury… on here it seems to be a concussion.
