Only 12 touches in the vfl today late in the last quarter playing in the middle
Can he play lockdown?

Some omissions here. Laid 8 tackles suggesting he did the defensive work. In a side that lost by 84 points as well.
Change of scenery is surely best for him. If he came to Hawthorn as part of a package for Tom Mitchell I'd happily have him. We'd probably play him in a 50/50 rotation with Wingard through mid/half forward.
yeah 3rd rounder in general future or this year same thingFuture 3rd value now.
I think it's either Freo or Claremont.If I was a betting man I'd have my life savings and the house on him being back in WA next year
Zero percent chance he is not on an AFL list next year.I think it's either Freo or Claremont.

I think he’s done at Carlton though, Teague clearly doesn’t rate him.
So pick #40-#50WC will snap him up for nothing and turn him into a gun if Freo don’t get in early.
5 seasons since drafted and we’ll be lucky to get a pick before the 3rd round for him. Such a shame.
So pick #40-#50
that could offend some carlton supporters unfortunately
I have probably seen him play like 30+ times live and most likely another 40+ times on televisionThank you.
I've posted this before on the Carlton but ive always seen Sammo as a visceral player. In the thick of it, fly by the seat of his pants... hes amazing. On the fly and working on gut instinct he does his best work. Problem is is we (well the coaches at least) have some deranged belief that he can be a cerebral player like Doc. Some guys can play that mindset, that can map it out goal square to goal square. They can see three plays ahead, those guys tend to be your leaders and set up play. Sammos problem is he plays on instinct but because his skill by foot can be so precise the coaches are trying to turn him into something hes not. Hes not a playmaker, hes a finisher.
If youre so inclined, then i would recommend watching the club's own highlight reel of him. Its filled with him playing forward of centre and just nailing targets inside 50.
I agree. I think if he leaves he is more likely to not make it than he is to fulfill the talent.Not convinced that this one is Carlton's fault, a lot of this has to go back to the player and his application.
You look at a whole raft of top 20 picks that Carlton has, and how they're turning out. A lot have question marks. Enough that I'd be suspicious of their development, and not the individual players.Not convinced that this one is Carlton's fault, a lot of this has to go back to the player and his application.

I think development is an issue but he seems to play within himself to me.Yes, that is true.
But in the case of this player - from watching him play - I am not sure this player is down to development. You have to have drive.
