“Sam’s a 189cm left-footer who can play as a half-forward or on the wing – he’s got great speed and has a real knack for kicking goals. Sam showed great character this year after being overlooked for the Murray Bushrangers squad. He persevered, worked on the areas he needed to and was rewarded with a breakout season playing for the Wodonga Raiders and now has an opportunity on our rookie list.”
