Toast Fremantle's 1st 2018 National Draft Pick: Sam Sturt [Pick #17]

[BettercallSaul]

good attitude

His first ever game was excellent but it’s up there. The amazing thing is I doubt he has played 100 games in his life. Still a lot of improvement to come with experience.

Needs to stop putting the ball under his arm when he goes for a run, thats my only criticism rn

I think the current club psych might be part of the improvement we are seeing in a lot of our players

I said it last week, I'll say it louder this week. Never drop this kid again. He makes our forward line more damaging. 3 goals against Sydney is nothing to sneeze at.

Get the ink out Wallsy, ASAP.

Is it racist that I read that like Mr Washee Washee from Family Guy?

Yes. But it is hilarious.

This.

Actually a bit nervous about him because I imagine the amount of time he has spent out of the team may have been quite frustrating.

He was quite positive about it. Said he was more frustrated at his body and Justin gave him a clear path back in.

Durty Sturty!! Give him 3 years!

 

[FreoRicci]

He’s the harder, faster version of Fristch.
His attacking intent is clear. Did have two anxious moments in the second- not bouncing the ball and having a ping from 50 plus slowing down the play on the wing when Fremantle had the game moving.

Reckon in 12 months he just bounces and kicks the goal - was just caught in two minds. It’s the aerial stuff that potentially sets him apart.

Sturt would do well to watch the most famous goal in Freo history. Stephen Hill

just kept running and kicked it himself. Reckon Sturty will do the same when next given that opportunity.

JL said post match he was in doubt with his knee. Seems like the knee has been giving him grief for some time. But shows resilience to be able to fight through it.

You can see how he got those concussions early days, has more than his share of courage for a slight dude (by AFL standards).

 

[Tundrawolf]

Goal watch:
2.0 v West Coast
3.0 v Western Bulldogs
2.1 v Gold Coast
3.1 v Sydney

 

[Dockernut]

Give the kid a fricken contract Freo.

Yeah but what about the tackles?

 

[Serongnthnks4allthefish]

Best 22 without any doubt now. I'm excited for the bloke, he's done it the hard way.

 

[Tundrawolf]

Sturt's one of only a handful of guys on our team who can actually kick it 50 metres. That, coupled with his accuracy and pace makes him invaluable as far as I'm concerned.

That's why I've been big on him and defended him from day dot.

I’d be pretty disappointed if we lose him at the end of the year. Need to sow it up now. 2 maybe 3 years…

Is that Freudian ? You reap what you sow ? Nice shot, mate.

I’ve been pestering the twitter account to free Sam Sturt when he wasn’t being picked, now I’ll be pestering to sign him up. He’s pure class.

Good comment coach. Who would want to poach a player with knee issues?

 

[MadMundy]

I've always wanted him to succeed but he has made me doubt him sometimes, but I'm glad to see him proving people wrong and playing consistently good football.
