Sam Carpenter

Submitted by NorthPort on
Bit of a rumour going around that Sam Carpenter will be playing at Frankston in 2006. Can Dolphin or other Frankston faithful confirm this? There has been some suggestion that he might be a rookie list chance. Terrific effort if he does make it to VFL and/or AFL Rookie ranks.

Sammy hasn't missed a session during the Dolphins pre-season so far. One of the 95 odd to have been through so far. There is no doubt that he a superb story. To get to where he has with his disability speaks volumes for the boy. I have seen a lot of guys who think they are pretty hot, and they can't handle the pill with two hands as well as this boy can. He doesn't need to be pumped up too much though. Just let the kid make his own way, and let his work do the talking.

Yeah, this guy is an absolue freak. Being able to do so well with one arm is awesome and his ability is better than some blokes who have two hands.

Clearly innapropriate Ben. I think I know what you meant, but just the wrong language.

He is an exceptional talent. The way he goes about his footy is inspirational and I hope we see him have a good career at Frankston if nothing eventuates in the rookie draft for him.

He really is an inspirational young man, but lets not put too much pressue on him. He's still just a kid.

Yes, Dolphin. Thanks for picking me up on it, have actually got a disability myself and now feel quite a bit guilty.
