If licuria does not play finals...it is a sin. We talk about players bleeding collingwood, licuria is one of those. He is just as professional about the way he conducts himself as buckley is. Id want his passion and fearlessness in the crunch games over a first year player. Hopefully there is a hidden injury that the club is nursing before finals. He is still valuable

Lucuria would have to play and play right up to his best for us to have a successfull September.

on the official website iles is 189cm, whereas pro-stats put him at 183cm, and old nick's posts mention him at 181cm. can anyone clarify?

Robert Walls (not really) · Sat Aug 05, 2006 11:21 am

Sam is no giant, but he can play tall.

Was outstanding in defence against the Bendigo Bombers when the rain hit. With JC where the only two with clean hands on the slippery ball.

In the games I have seen so far:

Gets in and under.
Marks well one on one. Gets pushed under in the packs. est 183cm. 189 lol Collingwood 6 footer

Good disposal by hand and foot. very accurate up to 35-40m.
Very fast and attacks the ball very hard.
Backs himself and can bust a tackle.
The best bit about Sam is his ability to make the right decision under pressure. The type of player that is always on.
He is a quiet acheiver and really fits the Collingwood culture.

In summing up, he looks and plays like a skinny Scott Burns.

Good luck Sam, all the hard work has paid off.

hmmm.... does he get much of the ball. If he doesn't, then it kind of reminds me of Lokan...

Best of luck anyways sam

Gets his own and fights very hard for it. Sam is no receiver.

Yeh got cleaned up by goody goodwin and bounced straight back up. A few times got caught out but against the top team its going to happen. Thought that Rowey and Yakka have been unlucky, both been playing alrite and just not getting a call up.

I reckon Iles did OK. Couple of wobbly kicks to begin with, but then he seemed solid running out of the back pocket.

Just needs to eat a few more weetbix.
