does anyone think that this young magpie has a chance at the magarey???
also, any chance of him getting drafted or is he to slow????

by **Ecky** » Wed May 16, 2007 1:09 pm

The experts currently have him 3rd favourite for the Magarey behind Allen and and Callinan.

shit thats not bad, wish i had of kept playing with him!!!!!

He will get drafted,no doubt.The AFL clubs are now aware that athletic ability is no substitute for football smarts.

by **Iron Fist** » Wed May 16, 2007 2:19 pm

fair enough, is that through watching the young gun play or the article that was written about him the adevertiser!!!!!
u think young Sam Fairclough will get drafted as well or not??
he is playing league for the eagles and is still at school!!

SUMMERTON is without doubt the best young player in the competition
and at this stage will be playing for Richmond or Melbourne next year
He has wonderful skills, precision like foot disposal, reads the play astutely
and just has AFL written all over him
Would be winning Ports Best and fairest at this stage

i dunno
i love the kid and all
good mates with him and his family but i dunno if he will be quick enough!!!
really hope he does though
to prove all the clubs wrong in picking the athletes over true footy players!!!

He has quite a few faults so Id be shocked if he got drafted in the National draft. Maybe rookie list.

He has an uncanny knack of finding the football and has a great footy brain. But, he has a funny ball drop, is quite slow and at 175cm and 74kg, is probably too small to play AFL football. There arent a lot of players that height going around in teh AFL but the ones that do are pretty good. Crawford for example. If he doesnt get drafted I hope he stays with the Magpies.

The way he has come on this year has been sensational. A revelation for sure. He probably wouldnt have played a game last year but mid year he had this incredible burst of 2-3 games where he just dominated and forced his way into the league side. Did ok but he looked no more than a bog standard small midfielder who'd probably play a dozen league games but mainly be a reserves player. This year hes just set the league on fire with his ball winning ability. Full credit to him, hes come a long way since the start of last year. Definatley the most in form youngster in the league and would probably have anywhere from 5-8 Magarey votes at this point.

i must agree with ya macca
still i hope he makes it into the big league
also he has always had the skill of being a ball magnet, every since i played with him in under 9's
if he doesnt im almost certain that he would ahng around the club, all his mates are still there and he is a local boy.
port have a very bright future if they can keep him and some of his mates and they develop into good footballers because atm they have a lot of potential.

Every chance of both, he is a fantastic talent and will only get better.

Sam Mitchell fits that bill. He's done alright :wink:

Summerton Heir Caire Buckley Greenwood Fairclough Cubillo all quality juniors.

by **dash61** » Wed May 16, 2007 10:25 pm

Buckley

No not at this stage, has gone backwards and not forwards since last year,,, Hutchins is in front of him and he lacks pace

by **Pag** » Thu May 17, 2007 12:37 am

Played some under-age state footy with Summo in Under 12s and 16s , is a top bloke and footballer and deserves all the accolades he receives. I can only hope he gets drafted and not shafted like Tom Hurley did last November...

by **Dogwatcher** » Thu May 17, 2007 10:59 am

Yeah, poor Tom, and now he's got a pretty serious injury to contend with. a lot of people here keep a close eye on Tom - he lived here when his dad was a GP here.
