Samson Ryan

The year Max Gawn 209 was Sampson Ryan 206 age,

He played 13 games @ 9 disposals, 1 CM and half a goal

I can imagine Sampson exceeding that in 2023
Yeh, not many predicted Gawn to become what he has. He's a beast and easily the most impactful ruckman in the game. Plays as an oversized ruck rover at times.

Firstly, his name is Samson not bloody Sampson. Don't insult the great man.

The bandwagon started with only a handful of us - Smoking, Spook and one of two others.

More are seeing the light and it's starting to fill up.

There's gunna be more Ron Jeremy's on this one. That is for sure.

Also interesting stat.

We had circa 22 players play for quarters yesterday. In total they took 9 contested marks for the match.

The great man took 4 (equal most with Gawn for the match) in his one quarter alone.

This kid has everything to not just be a solid long term AFL player. But one of the pillars you build teams around.

The exciting part is we're gunna watch it develop before our eyes.

Given your appalling punting and tipping record, and the fact you curse everything and anything known to man, Sampson has no hope now.

PRE would like you to tip us to NOT win the Premiership. Thank you.

If you take just over 3 contested marks per game, you are the best in the competition (Tom Lynch 3.3).

His taking 4 in a quarter reinforces the intensity of the game for me. Not knocking him, just saying we need to see that quarter for what it was. A promising young player making the most of an opportunity to shine without much opposition.

Just been unlucky a couple of times.

He looked a bit down on confidence and lost yesterday.

I think Sampson has a big immediate future.

Angry, 206's, who can jump are very rare
But he’s not angry? What gives you that impression?
 
I got way more Ty Vick. The back pack mightn’t have a cat in it but it’s the same back pack.

He seemed to thrive on Clanger belting his ears 20 times each

Petty was playing on him. The last mark he took deep in our forward was against a man who had definitely not given up the fight as you say. Watch the replay and look at Pettys body language.
 
I am happy with young Delilah - the coaches saw enough last year to give him a taste when we had plenty of injuries - this year I could see him do a Millar and play half a dozen or more senior games.
