Samson Ryan

[yandb]

We will be the land of giants next year.
206cm Sampson and 208cm Balta's cousin.
We will be hitting the ball out of the ruck into the goal square.

Actually Mate Colina is 213cm so we will have a big ruck division.

Cut the locks
Reminds me of vickery

Soooooooo we calling him Delilah?

Definitely an odd pick, although it makes you think about where they see players like a Chol, CCJ, etc playing on field.

One thing about rucks is that theyre always a commodity down the track if they show signs, so could be some shrewd future moves out of our tall group

Why Why Why?

 

[TigerPort]

CCJ may become the forward part time ruck

Essendon went very tall with 2 of its 3 first round picks

 

[Baloo]

This kid reminds me of a modern day Angus Graham. I'm excited.

 

[Sintiger]

That is a strange phenomenon. Does it happen in any other sports?

It is really strange Scotty. I have no idea why it happens

The thing about rucks is that if we develop a few and have an over abundance they are very tradable

Sounds like Dean Putt/McJesus part III.

Looks like Soldo, having scalped Grundy, wearing his man-bun as a trophy. Vigorous, an essential quality in a ruck.

As craig said, Soldo's knee might be car-crash bad. Maybe he struggles to get back, certainly next year is a write-off.

 

[Harry]

Looks solid. What's his weight?

 

[fastin bulbous]

Ah yes, i still have memories of sitting on the top deck of the northern stand watching the Hawks rush out to a 50 point lead.

Enter Stafford accidentally staving spider Everitt's face in, and from that point not only reeling their lead in, but winnng rather comfortably!

Mmm that was the first tigers game I ever attended. Was that you sitting next to me with a radio earpiece in, answering annoying questions?

Haven't seen any footage, just read that he has incredible agility at ground level for his size, "does things he shouldn't be able to do". This has tended not to be a useful trait at AFL level.

There's a vid on the club site. Take a squiz.

 

[tigerman]

A slight concern with his right knee being taped in nearly all the highlight reel games, takes a nice grab.

 

[Dont Argue]

Nickname Clay ?

He’ll be easily moulded

 

[DavidSSS]

Maybe CCJ is being groomed as a forward and Samson is the new ruck? Otherwise a bit of a mystery why we chose him.

Is there a trend of teams getting taller to counter the running game? Maybe, but we seem to be doing both tall and fast with a combination of players. This should be interesting.

His family must be all tall, big boned types.
You’d hardly think they’d call a 5ft 8inch kid “Samson”

You’ve obviously never met Caesar!

I think this is it.

 

[Dyer'ere]

I was in favour of The Sampervan but I think Clay is better. Think I'll use Clay game day and The Sampervan in print.

Why, why, why? is good. Abbreviated to Y3? Or 3Y?

Clay it is IMO.
