Coach quote on Performance this year (at least 4 sentences)
“Sam has,like many SUANFC players come to us from a rugby background, his size and speed has made his transition over to AFL all that much easier. It has not taken long for Sam to work through the issues of playing what is a complicated game and his dedication to improving his skill level is really paying dividends this year. But most pleasing is Sam’s ability to understand his role within our side and what a huge influence on our week to week outcome that has, I get total buy in, and a team first approach which makes Sam such an important player for us this year.”
