Samo has played every game for which he has been available so two coaches and MCs must think he’s doing OK.
In 2020 he:
> Was ranked first in the AFL for ground ball gets inside the defensive 50.
> Had very few goals kicked by direct opponents.
> Generally hit targets coming out of defence.
> Always stood up for his teammates.

Has played the last 18 months at HB
That’s not what he was recruited for

Yes, everyone knows that but the MC identified a need for a small defender who can keep his opponent quiet and hit targets coming out of defence. Getting the defence right has been our priority and Samo is an important part of that.
He will only move into the midfield or forward line when someone like Stocker shows that they can play that defensive role as well as Samo.
If you read SOS’s comments about Samo, he was drafted to play midfield, half forward or “other positions”. He is playing in “other positions” now because that’s where he’s needed.
Samo doesn’t have a say in where he’s played, he just does what the coach tells him. If you have a problem with Samo playing in defence, you should be directing any criticism at Teague ?

Spot=on DJC.
Against the drug cheat scum bags this year Samo was playing on the little goal kicking forward , ( sorry, can.t remember his name ) , and kept him to one kick only up to three quarter time.
The cheats moved him away for the last quarter.
Well done Samo.

I think the problem with SPS is defining his role, being down back he is expected to defend but he is also expected to get 20 possies a game and provide rebound. Most rebounding defenders who are expected to get high numbers play loose and dont defend. Houli does that at Richmond and the other backs cover for him, we also had Simmo playing that loose role and now have Saad. How many rebounders can you have who dont man up and are we asking a bit too much of SPS to play both roles?

What was he pick 6
Hasn’t delivered in the midfield when he has been put there
You need close to 10 players rotating through there successfully to be a top 4 team.
Did you watch any of the top 4 teams this year?
No excuses left for Samo
