ahh so you were being sarcastic with your question?, but he was up and calling for ball i think.Tyrone Sampson it is
Why?How about a bit like A Boy named Sue we call him Delilah?
Get your thinking cap on Daisy, need a 'Lablett' nickname for him.
I'll go with Sampilands.
Listen, pal. I don't know who you think you are, but I'm the Master of Nicknames around these here parts. Does Tarzan need a nickname? Does Zorro? Does Flash Gordon? Conan? Hercules?!!?!
Providing all of Biggy Colina & Ryan develop as wished you would be thinking a combination with all 3 makes a very formidable rucking combination.As recently as the Sydney game on the suburban paddock up there, Samson was still having issues holding his space in marking contests. There was a notable incident when he had prime position to mark over a pack, floated across but was falling to the ground by the time the ball arrived. This is a lack of physical confidence. I haven't seen it since, and on the weekend he was physically imposing in a couple of marking contests - one in particular when he just busted the pack apart in his attack on the ball (which he one-grabbed). This was his biggest area for improvement and he is coming along in leaps and bounds.
I'm with Leysy. This guy is our future.
I mentioned in the VFL game day thread we could be seeing our future ruck duo, with Samson and Biggie. Biggie has the leap, athleticism and footy skills that are becoming almost requisite for a second ruck these days. (Although he is also promising as an intercept defender.)
Don't Like your chancesProviding all of Biggy Colina & Ryan develop as wished you would be thinking a combination with all 3 makes a very formidable rucking combination.
Biggy can Ruck in defence , Ryan can ruck in the foward line when required and Colina the big Giant similar to sandilands but more athletic.
Doesnt look too good for Soldo in 2 years
Or rest Jack?Interesting idea, Brodders. It would be easy enough to do, just shuffle Miller back to defence to cover for Tigga (doesn't deserve to be dropped).
It might make us a bit top-heavy up forward, but it could give us another weapon too. Samson has improved hugely this season.
I don't mind it.
I don't think we'll mess with a successful combination at this point. Could have a reverse impact too.I would love to see Ryan Samson get a game this week- not based on his 5 goals against the Northern Football League team on Sunday, but based on his form across the year, and the fact he could be a legitimate forward option, while being a strong back up ruck.
Miller is ok, but Samson could be better, a lot better, and there is only 1 way to find out.
Can we do it?
i get that, but Miller has been 2nd ruck the last 6 quarters. On Saturday he had 7 disposals, while Nank (who supposedly cant run or jump) had 29. There is still plenty of room for improvement in our 2nd ruck position. I wonder if Ryan can provide that improvement.I don't think we'll mess with a successful combination at this point. Could have a reverse impact too.
