I dont rate him good enough to remain on our list anyway
Did nothing special when he did play those game for us after switching from the Swans.

Great news. He costs us very little to acquire, and I am sure won't cost too much to retain...he still has to earn his credentials. He has tremendous pace and line breaking qualities...attributes we need. I am really glad for him: I think common justice has prevailed in this case.
I think we should keep him...don't think you can have too many super fast, line breaking players. We didn't have enough time really to gauge his full potential.

| Will start behind Quaynor and Noble, but as he'll be cheap, he's a good depth player to have on our list....for one year, to see how he goes. |

| I thought he showed enough. Had some chinks to iron out. But that pace and leap and long kick is worth persisting with. Particularly that take on the game approach. |

Agreed. At times he showed plenty. He is definitely worth keeping.
Amazing how many hearing impaired baristas there are when like Thomas & Keefe all he asked for was a cup of cocoa.

A few on the social media sites complaining. Mainly St Kilda supporters it seems.
I'm happy to see what he can do next year. We'll have a few retirements and his wage will be low. So let's welcome him back and see what happens.

How quickly people forget....after his first few games for us he was being talked about as the trading coup of the year! Yes his game had flaws but in his first year of AFL football he showed enough to be included on any team's list

He's another AFL capable player added to the list. Always useful to have more whether best 22 or not. We have a couple of quicker half back types now but neither is yet certain best 22 either and it is only a couple. Another one is very much needed and Murray is a welcome addition.

Let's hope his disposal standard is improving too, as what he served up in 2018 won't cut the mustard in 2020, regardless of his leg speed.
Hope Cressa is working on this with him.

A really good result for the young man and one of those rare occasions that common sense prevails.
Definitely worth retaining on the list - with the probably retirements we'll have enough turnover as is and Sam's AFL level attributes are known rather than an unknown late picked draftee... |

If it's a decision based on football ability he absolutely stays on the list.

The irony of Saint supporters complaining about a cocaine suspension. They're lucky they were able to field a complete team this year.  |

Good outcome for Sam and hopefully he makes the most of his second chance.
Has to win back the trust of the club and his teammates, but I'd keep him on for 2020. Showed enough in 2018 that he has good potential.

Maybe if he could just find a good forward handball target when he's on the run. |
