Sam DWYER

2015 Digest:   After an eye-catching debut season, the mature-age recruit stagnated a touch in 2014. The departure of a few seasoned teammates opens up the door for more time through the middle where his pace and enthusiasm are important.

2015 NAB Cup:   Had a run against Carlton but not influential. Played in VFL trial on weekend.
