I've been waiting for the Green Shoot thread but my patience is wearing thin.
I thought Samo played his best game for us last night. Obviously he still has a long way to go but his impact on the game was streets ahead of Cuningham and Fisher and he really did make a meaningful contribution to our hopelessly outnumbered midfield.
However, there was one moment in the game that warmed the cockles of my heart. There was a ball up just outside Geelong's 50 in the last quarter. As soon as the ball was tossed up, Samo ran past the the contest and ran through J Selwood. It looked to be a heavy hit although Selwood could have been trying to milk a free.
I don't know if Samo was evening up for one of Selwood's cheap shots against him or a team mate, but for a 19 year old lightweight to take out one of the polished tirds of the game, and get away with it, promises so much for the future.
