Well, Scoop. There are levels of belief. Some have called the kid a future champion. Some said two years ago that CJ could *smile* right off, no problemo, because we had Samson. That's real belief.

Others said he was no better than Gus Graham and only 50/50 to even make it. Less than a fortnight ago, they said that. That's not belief. That's doubt, at best. Dismissal at worst. Clanger regardless, as must now be blindingly obvious to all but the most unwilling to see.

But don't fear, the Church of Samson is a forgiving one. Ye shall not be banished, Thomas, but loved, and brought into the fold. “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Budding champion. Future captain. Samson. Believe.

I couldn’t believe how much running this kid was doing. At the ground it was very noticeable. Back and forth regularly and also clean below knees. Build a bit of muscle in those skinny arms and he’ll be a good one for us.

He just doesn't stop running. His tank is already there.
 
Competes, competes n then competes again. Not only does the kid have some skills to go with some footy brain, he doesn't bloody surrender to anyone. Bloody enjoying his development this year n got me a feeling he might just have a seriously high ceiling to his game.

Let's ditch the 'private schools v working class' agenda, no place for it. I know plenty of private school boys who are now doing very well as tradies, etc. if that's what you mean by 'working class'. If there are many AFL players who are from private schools then so what! Surely their football talent is why they got drafted, not what school they went to. A nurturing home environment also has a huge part to play. Anyway, if those schools nurture talent and provide the right opportunities then isn't that a good thing? If you think students from state schools are not being drafted because of the school they went to then show me the proof. Yes I went to a non-government school and then I taught in state schools for 20 years so I've seen both sides and it's natural talent and a supportive home environment that plays a huge role along with excellent junior coaching.

Yep!

Dan Rioli was a boarder at St Patricks in Ballarat .............. and Cyril is a Scotch Collegian!

What an imbecilic comment to make this a class (school background) issue :(

Couldn’t take a mark ti save himself on Friday night , unfortunately

Still managed to have a solid contribution regardless

What a prospect .
 
He did well, still raw but has a lot of potential.

Very pleasing to see him recover from possibly the worst debut ever.

Pleasing to have a forward/ruck for the next ten years if all goes well.

He does need to improve aerial presence around the ground but let's hope it comes.
