« on: February 02, 2023, 04:26:01 PM »
Just turned 22 before Christmas.

What are your expectations for Samson in 2023 and what would be a good year for him?

Keep developing in the VFL both as a ruck and as a part time ruck. If nank misses through injury/suspension or they switch to a 2 permanent ruck setup then hope he takes his chances. Would rather see him get first crack if nank misses over soldo tbh. Atleast initially to see how he goes. So I guess what I’m saying is I hope/expect him to become the second choice ruckman.

I expect him to get a game as a key forward when one of jack or Lynchy get injured if the proviso that he has treasonable form in the 2’s

More development at VFL to start the season

With a handful (perhaps 6) in the 2nd half of the season

Not expecting anything.

Suspect he'll be considered for another year at the end of the season but also considered for cutting.

Would not want to cut him at all, as a side note will be interesting to see how CCJ and MABS go this year

Appeared hopeless when given a go in 21 but started to dominate in the 2’s last year. His output is polarising so don’t see how you cam have a balanced view
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
