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

[Vimal Anand]

He was a legend

Me and Jedi mind tricks had a long argument some 3 or 4 years ago when sturt was always injured and Dursma was doing well at Port. I think neither of us will win it as Dursma left to Victoria and Sturt also may go .....

If we lose Durty Sturty, someone at the club needs to be held accountable.

No buggering around here, sign him.

The talent is there with Sturt where Dursma came on quickly

I almost forgot our argument

I'm a Sturt believer now

The unheralded Docker who's lifted to fill forward gap

With Josh Treacy still sidelined Sam Sturt has become an integral part of Fremantle's forward line

He's totally leaving guys....

Put your money where your mouth is big boy
Sturt is on another list in 2025 I leave BF
Sturt is at Freo 2025 you leave
Want to put your balls on the line or wimp out?

So let me get this right. A poster who has had 3 accounts wants to make a bet for someone to leave big footy which counts for nothing as you'll simply create another account if you loose. Which is totally fine but it does seem like a pointless bet. I think Sturt will stay and I'd be gutted if he left. Its an opinion based on the vibe he gives so absolutely nothing. I think he would be wanting a 3 year deal rather than 2 and thats why he's delayed contract talks to focus on his football and earn a longer deal. Again. Im basing that view on 'my gut feel and nothing concrete. Do you have any information that says he's likely to stay?

There’s nothing about that article that says he’s staying?

I know, I'm just saying I like the sound of a puff piece for him despite all the rumours, I don't know, seems like a good omen.

 

[apuchar]

Just says we rate him. We knew that already. Hope his hasn't got Schultz in his ear or the like.

I don’t think it means much, other than he and Vossy are handy while JT is out, but fingers crossed

 

[Lach72]

He ****ing sucked today…after a good few weeks, he didn’t lay a tackle, and ****ed around with the ball.

Shit effort Sam

 

[apuchar]

Season was a bit too long for most of the players methinks

 

[Bicco]

I guess we'll find out his intentions in the coming days? Are interviews this week? Can anyone confirm?

Believe so.

But like last year those playing at Peel won’t have anything released

 

[apuchar]

Hopefully, there are little leaks.

 

[DragoDelph]

It will really come down to the confidence in the knee.

If we've offered 3, and someone else has offered 5, it will come down to the medicos if we match or not.

3+ a trigger for 2 more Should be doable.

Also may be waiting to see what's going to be left in the bank with the targets being chased.

 

[DragoDelph]

Mitch Cleary basically confirmed this morning on SEN that baker will look for a trade to west coast.

So your source is looking dodgy already…

Was genuinely a 50/50 with bakes until the last few weeks as far as I'm aware.

Things change all the time, and quickly.

I'm sure that he told Freo it was 50/50 to safe guard his future but in reality pretty much everyone knew it would be West Coast. The guy hates us.

Any particular reason why?

 

[MadMundy]

Sturt's game on the weekend was pretty bad I must say.

Probs the same reason any WC or Freo supporting kid would hate the other.

 

[apuchar]

Sturt's game on the weekend was pretty bad I must say.

He did lack composure but it was a murky mess in there and the kicking into the forward line was horrible. He got ignored on the lead a lot as well but I'm not sure he had great separation anyway. He looked spent as do quite a few of our players. A few of them need an injury free preseason.

Was hoping it was something juicier than that lol

 

[MadMundy]

I doubt Baker still hates us though, I feel once you get drafted into the league that sort of thing goes away.

It didn't for Nathan Wilson.

But yes I agree that most probably lose that dislike.
