Past 5. Sam Petrevski-Seton

[BlueJet]

thanks Teague. Nice legacy

Downing tools and heading West amidst questions over his workrate isn't a reflection of Teagues legacy.
Unlike some, SPS was given a game regardless of output and even as others were outpointing him a role was created for him in the defensive half.
The question for me remains that he's undoubtedly got the talent, does he have the drive though?

I think most of us could see this coming.

• Played out of position for the last two years
• Is a natural ball-hunter forced to play as an accountable backman
• If anyone heard him talking to Syd Jackson during our tribute to Syd, you could hear how upset he was to be playing down back
• Dropped numerous times
• Played as the medical sub countless times

When this happens young players (he's 23 y.o) naturally feel homesick.

I am a fan of Samo's. Really think he has the tools/skills/game sense to be a top level midfielder. Yes - he's not overly quick. Yes - he seems quite laconic. But at his best I think he is an asset to any team.

Unfortunately we have whipped the life out of him, so his only option (as he see's it) is to go home and start afresh.

Hoping we can make this a good trade for us as I can see him becoming a very good player for West Coast.

Yep I remember the chat with Syd. There was a mix of confusion and disappointment in his voice. Blind Freddy could see he knew the back man experiment was not going to work.

Pick 29 I feel is about right. But who knows. WC might get creative and offer up Brander and a third or we could include McGovern somehow.

If WC get creative it won’t be for our benefit

Amazing how quickly the time goes.

When he debuted I was working in Abbotsford near the Nike factory. Went for a walk at lunchtime time and saw this young guy coming out of there in Carlton gear but had no idea who he was. Went to the game that night and saw that same guy run out against the Tigers.

Sad to see him go but I wish him all the best and hope he gets the chance to fulfill his talent.

 

[NavySteel]

when we finally establish the missing link at our club (can you guess?) there will no longer be any danger of what you are suggesting.......

We had the 'missing link' for years.... It's still missing!

 

[lily of laguna]

Bummed about this. Samo has plenty of tools, not sure the confused game plan and terrible defensive structures gave him a fair shot.
Had really high hopes for him and hadn't given up that with a new coaching team we would see him flourish!
Hopefully we get a win/win deal from we.

This is not good, another player cast down by Teague's poor decisions.

Our development has been terrible across a host of areas and players, no doubt the way played him the past few seasons has no benefit to him at all but he like a few others, definitely share some of the blame on their own end with poor workrate and attitude…
On both coach/assistants and players…

 

[feffs93]

would’ve been better value than Cripps this year

lol sure thing troll

 

[Jeremias]

No Plan B; run ons by opposition teams of 5+ consecutive goals; playing players out of position; playing favourites. All amalgamates to form a legacy to me.

So that would be "no".

It was pretty clear I wasn't querying whether he had some sort of legacy. I was querying whether one player wanting to return home had anything to do with it.

It's not exactly uncommon for out of contract players to leave.

 

[LMo2]

They so played him out of position; he has the skills and should be worth a top 20 pick. We really stuffed that one.

 

[BigFrizz36]

If those stats are correct confirms my thoughts about Cerra….
we have a number of high draft midfielders that were given very little opportunities the last couple years…keep pick 6 or turn it into 2 second round picks.

Or alternatively have a look at Cerra's stats for this year and hope that we can get a deal done for pick 6 rather than draft another prospective sps and find out in 4 years that we gave a bust.

lol sure thing troll

not a troll…your bogie

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Brander was part of the 2017 draft and a teammate of Dow’s and O’Brien’s at Bendigo Pioneers and Vic Country U18’s champs & schooled together at Geelong Grammar…
Wonder if that could be a factor for him at all if he was interested in considering heading over to us…

 

[pantskyle]

Hey friends,

Seems the more common vibe here is one of regret that he has asked to leave, almost as common as the vibe on the Eagles board of us ****ing up Brander.

Swap makes sense. Likely won't happen as trades rarely are that simple.
Doubt we'll offer much more than a third rounder but we're also able to be bent over, please don't be like Geelong and it's fans when it came to Kelly.

Anyway, seems simple enough to do. We've been nominated so our hand has been played.

 

[David Sylvian]

Thanks Sam, I wish you all the best for your footballing future, a little sad it won’t be with us. Please grow that wicked rats tail again.

Boooooo!!

Hey mate, he will be a great pick up in my opinion. Can play.

 

[Tazblue]

If WC get creative it won’t be for our benefit

If the trade isn’t fair let him go to draft to try his chances, we constantly get screwed when trading for player and there is zero need to make a team in similar ladder position stronger for little compensatio.

 

[pantskyle]

Boooooo!!

Hey, you settle down.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Hey, you settle down.

He will be good but he is no Bart Schenkeveld!

No one is.

Expensive......yet we pour games into Dow and nowload up on midfielders
Resources please..........better get a good return for Samo

Sps, 25 and future 4th for 10. 10 for Cerra

 

[SBYM]

Pick 10 and a player or I'm cancelling my BF account.

Definitely has all the tools imo.

I sincerely hope you can solve the puzzle...we clearly had no ****ing clue.
