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

[apuchar]

If he doesn't have a contract yet, surely gone at end of year. What's he worth?

We have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.

 

[King Huskii]

He's worth offering a contract to

 

[MadMundy]

He deserves a 2-3 year extension in my opinion.

I can't shake that feeling too.

If we are lucky we probably get a late second for him. More likely a 3rd.

 

[Feathercap]

His season has been better than Freddie, Switta, Walters, Emmett.

If he goes it might just be the worst list management failure in our long list of howlers. Potentially elite forward half player comes good after slow burn and we don’t convince him to stay.

this flipping club

 

[MadMundy]

He's played 12 games and kicked 20 goals, had he been fit and played the whole season he'd be right up there with Treacy and Amiss in goals scored I reckon.

 

[Joao]

He'll kick 40 goals next year.

 

[Dockeroo]

He'll kick 40 goals next year.

I’ve got no doubt about that.

I do however have significant doubt whether it will be for Fremantle. Surely we are not haggling with his management?

17 other clubs would bang the door down for a 40 goal a season medium forward.

I wonder what people thinks he’s worth in salary terms?
I’d say $450 to $500k on a 4 year deal

I'd offer him that.

 

[Madas]

After how much the club has backed him over the journey I’d be surprised if he dogged them like that
Doesn’t seem like that kind of guy

Looking forward to him in the team full time next year if he plays like he did yesterday

 

[BettercallSaul]

Yeah, I’m confident he wants to stay, he Just needs a bloody contract.

 

[EastcoastDocker]

Maybe they think this season is an anomaly and are offering an incentives based contract.... Sounds familiar...

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I want him re-signed yesterday but I'm pretty sure there's not much reason now for him to do it before end of season. He's getting better every week.

I know it's doom and gloom but honestly Treacy, Amiss, Bolton and Sturt is a 4 pronged goal scoring threat that is elite and worth being excited about.

I could probably count on one hand how many times in the last 10 years a best 22 player has finished the season for us unsigned and has stayed at the club.

In fact I can’t think of an example (I’m sure there’s some). It’s worrying if we don’t hear something in the next week or so.

Nah, it's been happening more and more. I know because I was doing the trading game on the DTFA board and a few re-sign after seasons end every year. I had to update my guess list every time someone would re-sign. Happens more than you think. They just aren't the massive names.

 

[Dockeroo]

He has got to be turning heads in clubs over east now after the last 10 weeks or so.

 

[sumavich]

He’s gone! Why wouldn’t he be. Coach is on life support, club is directionless. He’s from Vic

 

[StingBitten]

My news is that he will sign on and waiting for seasons end - seeing as he's having such a good back-half it makes sense to continue performing to boost his numbers.

 

[FreoRicci]

Carlton will appreciate that. Acres 2.0.

 

[freo_leo29]

Name is gonna get brought up a lot in Bolton discussions, would like to nip this in the bud quickly and get him signed

Could be one that slips out due to a cap squeeze? You'd think we have to offer more to him than any of Banfield or Emmett types.

Losing him would be a disaster, regardless of who is brought in. Simply shouldnt happen. Still, the fact no one is mentioning him at all can only be positive

 

[mayne iac]

Fast becoming a favourite
Our most accurate kick on goal.

 

[anchor man]

Some one here tosses thought of his own, no facts, just his thoughts, and BANG, Sturt is gone.
I mean really?

 

[fnerd]

Hard to argue with this

Guess he must be out the door

 

[Purpleheart_56]

Maybe They saving his contract news for next week...

After We miss finals again...
