Sam Draper is 26 this year. If that’s the timeline, boy. Samson is 23, will be 24 all next year.
Toby Conway just turned 21 and I’d swap them in a heartbeat.
Tom De Koning is 24 and starting to dominate games.
Age, experience, project, premiership captain, All Australian and every other term in between.
It’s time, show something.
You’ve jumped off from your crew of All Australian, premiership captain, better than Tim English to does he have an AFL career?Enough of the skirting around the packs Aaron Fiora.
Quoting everyone else.
Sitting on the fence.
You've watched him for long enough.
Simple question. Will Samson make an AFL career? Yes or No?

What does that even mean? I don’t think he’s any of the above and won’t make the grade. I’d take any trade.
Tell me how good he gets.
Cheetos.@Scoop, @Leysy Days I think you kids could make a firm and quantified bet on the whole Samson Ryan controversy. Could be booze. Could be snackfoods with high blisspoints. Could be naked walking. Or even better, clothed. That will engage the entire PRE community.
We just need some criteria you agree on. And some desirable snackfood ideas. Snackfoods with irresistible evanescence.
Cheesy Poooooffs.
He’s about to sign a new contract from all reports so whatever is holding him back from playing seniors you’d assume he’s aware of and working on.I’m surprised he’s not playing tomorrow.
Especially given our woes up forward.
What the heck are they waiting for?
Not as if his core strength is somehow going to miraculously improve at round 11.
Are we holding him back for his development or maybe they don’t think he’s up to it (yet). I’m sure most here would have thought he’d be playing snr footy this year ahead of Naismith as a forward option but he’s not playing at a time we are developing young players??
Totally agree. MC needs to have an honest review of their selections.I’m surprised he’s not playing tomorrow.

24 he should be coming into his prime?Will be 24 next season and that's the age players' bodies naturally mature to show some guns. Wiki shows 105kg....is that true coz he doesn't look it yet.
It’s interesting Biddis but that was the charge against Gawn in his early days. Even now when you watch him he never seems to be super urgent.Watched him closely today. Did some great stuff - he's clearly above the level. And that pack mark he clunked over the back of the oppo ruckman was nice.
But geez, so often it looks like he lacks any sort of urgency. Maybe I'm just too used to watching Nank crack in with 2nd and 3rd efforts. But I kinda have the feeling Ryan's a little too used to watching other players crack in with 2nd and 3rd efforts also.
What?Stop the farce.
