Remember kids, if you’re small you get 60 seconds to prove you can play. If you’re tall, you get 6 years to prove you can’t.

Agree on drafting another one. Competition internally is the way to grow. Blight and Young are perfect examples.
3 more years for our VFL ruckman. All that is missing now is a further contract extension for Dow and Pickett and the asylum will be well and truly in full flight. How far we have fallen in such a short amount of time. Chol running rings around Sampson atm but we were happy to let him go.
We will and should draft another ruck.
However based on your theory you should only provide a contract extension if other clubs come knocking? But let’s face it you have no actual idea what interest he received from other clubs.
Only 3 years for the great man!!! What!!
Seriously - It shows the confidence the club has in him.

On the bright side, by the time he's 33 he'll be peaking. For about 2 weeks - before going back to being sub average.
Reckon we must be paying him peanuts.

All we need to do now is sign Dow up on $800K for the next 3 years.
There is a new type of ruck emerging and whilst I was a big fan of Samson's in the past I am not sure he can be our version.
I love Nank, noone tries harder and noone puts his body on the line like he does, but I am not as positive about his role this year as some. The new rucks just want to be competitive at stoppage, they compete and they get the odd good knock out but that isn't their main skill. They are like another midfielder, they run and they are part of ball movement and they get forward quickly when they have to. They are big and athletic, they can take a grab and are good when the ball is on the ground. They have a tank.
They are like followers in the 1960's but 15 cm taller.
We need a version of this type of ruck. I wish Noah Balta was 6-7 cm taller.

The Gus bus is pulling into town... tooot tooooooot...!!!
Need to watch the plaudits for others there, mate! There is only one Angus after all!
Perhaps there are some ex-basketballers out there who may want to try AFL?
I don't know if anyone has tried it before but, could work...
Wish I could see the future but am still on the fence with Samson.
On the face of it he's pretty fortunate to get the 3 year contract but he has shown glimpses of genuine potential even if it hasn't been linear development this year.
We've seen Miller break out at 24 this year. Fingers crossed Ryan can too..

First Mansell and now Ryan.
Obviously wanting to lock away our young stars early.

I was a huge critic of keeping Miller on the list a few years ago. IMHO he showed nothing, but we kept him on and voila, we have a very well skilled reliable CHB. Just goes to show I, and most on PRE have NFI!
