NEWS: Sam Docherty, 19, had a frustrating first year at the Gabba in 2012, but the silky rebounding half-back flanker said he would be better for it in 2013. "At times last year it was tough, but every first-year player has tough times," Docherty said. "I missed out on a lot of the pre-season so I had to keep fronting up for the twos (reserves) and keep playing well to hopefully get a game in the seniors. I went close but I didn't quite get there. I got told that I wasn't fit. I hit the track hard and I've come back 20 times fitter." | ||||

NEWS: Docherty as a first Round Draft pick last year, went a little unnoticed as after he was drafted he underwent immediate hip surgery. Entering the 2013 season he is bigger and stronger, currently collecting a full pre-season under his belt and recently having the fastest time in the 3 x 300m shuttle run and finishing among the top 10 in the 2km trial time. Michael Voss recently said "He's played half-back for most of his junior days, and I imagine, certainly in the early parts of his career, that's where he will stay. He's got good speed, his ball use, and he can get in and out of traffic really well. He brings another player who can use the footy off half-back. You can never have enough of them." | ||||

NEWS: Docherty is slowly getting his fitness levels up as he recovers from pre-season injury and has been starting to show strong performances in the reserves of late. He just recently has had back to back performances of over 25 possessions. Docherty explains to lions.com.au "I've always been a pretty mature kid coming up. I've been playing footy against men since I was 15, so I'm used to being the young kid in the group. It's the same at the Lions, so I feel like I've settled in really well; in fact I love it up here!" | ||||

NEWS: Docherty has been on a modified program over pre-season, recovering from off-season surgery on his hip. Reserves Coach Nathan Clarke suggested "Docherty was an 18 year-old playing his first game for a long time, but still showed some good things defensively. He's got some pace, and tried to take the game on when he got his hands on the footy." | ||||

NEWS: Brisbane's prized Number #12 Draft pick in last years National Draft will debut next weekend in the NAB Cup. Docherty has been on a modified program over pre-season, recovering from off-season surgery on his hip. It is unlikely he will be prepared for Round 1 of the AFL season, but it seems they will test him in NAB Cup action. | ||||
