	The Soaring » West Coast Eagles’ all-time best drafts - No. 2
		Ashley Sampi is probably the biggest question mark to come out of this draft at this point.
		Sampi revels in his pre-season fitness to destroy the Magpies single-handedly in the first half with 4 goals and some lightning work in close.
		Ashley Hansen is the late bloomer of the 2001 draft but 2005 showed that whilst injury have set him back in terms of his career getting underway, they have in no way diminished the impact a fit Hansen has on the team.

	Sampi takes power of positive thinking - News - www.realfooty.com.au
		WEST Coast forward Ashley Sampi has credited a Queensland-based researcher on the power of the mind with much of the Eagles' success in the club's first final against Sydney.
		Sampi, a gifted but often part-time genius, played a widely accepted shocker against Adelaide in round 22 as the momentum grew for him to be axed for the final against the Swans.
		Sampi kicked West Coast's last goal in the pulsating final against Sydney, a dribbled left-footer that bounced through, much to the relief of the 21-year-old.

	Sampi up there with the best - News - www.realfooty.com.au (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Sampi's "speccy", taken just before the half-time siren in the forward pocket at the city end of the MCG, had the entire crowd of more than 21,000 on its feet, and the critics immediately comparing it to the greatest grabs of the past 30-odd years.
		Sampi said after the match that at his old school in Perth, Trinity College, "I used to take one every week sort of like that".
		Sampi's grab is a worthy candidate for inclusion in a list of the greatest marks taken since arguably the most famous high mark of them all, that of Carlton's Alex Jesaulenko in the second quarter of the 1970 grand final against Collingwood.

		Morrison then handballed to Sampi, who found himself in acres of space, and his running goal from 50 metres finished off a brave Bulldogs side, who it must be said still look shaky in defence although their new-look forward line – with Rawlings as the focus – looks capable of troubling most sides.
		ASHLEY SAMPI was lively early for the Eagles with three first-half goals and at the other end Fremantle's JEFF FARMER also booted three before half-time.
		ASHLEY SAMPI, McDougall and PHIL MATERA finished with three goals apiece for the Eagles, while youngster TED RICHARDS was one of the Bombers who had an impact, kicking three majors of his own.

		For Ashley Sampi, his was also a goal, but the two differ in substance as much as the Pope and World War I wench Mata Hari.
		Sampi's came in the final quarter against Sydney at Subiaco a fortnight ago.
		Sampi's mindset imploded after he was diagnosed with a foot fracture after playing against Port Adelaide in Round 10.

	Ashley Sampi
		The auspicious debut of former star junior footballer Ashley Sampi was one of the few bright spots for West Coast supporters on what was an otherwise dismal night for the crowd of 17,000 that flocked to Subiaco Oval for the pre-season clash between West Coast and Richmond.
		Taken at No. 6 in the 2001 AFL draft by West Coast with its second pick, Sampi's natural skill shone through despite his inexperience when he swooped on a loose ball at half-forward and kicked a great goal during time on in the second quarter.
		The lightning reflexes and intuitive football prowess that Sampi displayed was reminiscent of another former great West Coast player to wear the No.28 jersey in Chris Lewis.

		Ashley Sampi got proceedings underway with a good roving goal, kicking the ball around his body for the first goal of the night.
		Sampi made a good contest of the ball at ground level, soccered it forward, where he ran onto it, handballed to Embley who kicked truly from 45 metres.
		The first from a quick snap, whilst the second was a running bomb from 70 metres which, assisted by the breeze, sailed through on the fly for nine points.

	Sampi Or Schneider? :: Footygoss :: all the latest AFL and WAFL breaking news
		The round five winner was Sydney's Adam Schneider, but many will believe West Coast young gun Ashley Sampi deserved the award for his scintillating display in his first Western Derby.
		The main reason for the difficulty in seperating the pair was the fact that they both kicked their goals at crucial stages in the game.
		Sampi too managed to kick goals at crucial stages, notably early on when he thumped through the Eagles first goal of the game from 50 metres out on a very tight angle.

	Sampi's place in doubt - Breaking News - Sport - Breaking News - smh.com.au
		High-flying West Coast forward Ashley Sampi could pay the cruellest price for his team's misfiring form entering the finals, with coach John Worsfold admitting the 21-year-old's place in the team is under pressure.
		As the former flag favourites stumbled into the finals series with an eight-point loss against Adelaide on Saturday, Sampi's lack of impact was matched by his slim statistics, with one kick, one handball and no goals.
		With just four goals in his past six games, and West Coast having scored just 15 majors in their past two games, Worsfold said Sampi was nowhere near his best going into the Friday night showdown with Sydney.

		Sampi (from a free), Morton, Jones, R and Stenglein were the other Eagles goal kickers.
		This resulted in some pretty soft goals (one each to Sampi and Pavlich) as well as a HTB against Longmuir on the northern wing which led to Morton’s mark and goal in front.
		Throw in a Sampi goal hard on the boundary and a miss to Matera kicking outside his range, and the Eagles are attacking hard and looking much better now although accuracy is still a problem.

		Key forward Ashley Hansen (quad strain) faces at least one more week on the sidelines, although his loss won't be all that keenly felt at the smallest venue in the AFL, where a traditional centre half-forward is often surplus to requirements.
