Prediction Changes v Brizzy in Brizzy (sigh)

[Snuffaluphagus]

 

[PurpleReign]

Oh yeah I watched him too and he wasn’t great. I just like new blood it’s fun.

I agree, but if he gets selected following that performance, I don’t want to hear anyone from the selection committee bleating on about integrity in the selection process.

 

[bone2468]

Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Draper is brought in to play his natural position as a forward

 

[David Bubb]

Draper debut looking more and more likely. It can't be for Pearce, no way we'd throw him to the Lions (pardon the pun) on someone like Daniher first up.

Also, clearly he has been next in iine for a few weeks - he was travelling emergency. So his relatively uninspiring game for Peel is somewhat irrelevant, if the selection committee already believed he was next in line.

 

[Rockmelon]

Draper would almost certainly debut as the sub

a run on the wing? He can take a contested mark. Lay a tackle. Runs both ways. Can pinpoint a leading target. Loves to hoof a goal on the run, and has a tank. Seems a perfect wingman. What am I missing here?

He’s not defensive enough to play a JL wing role, it’s okay in the backline but being a responsible winger is a harder job mentally

It's not like Aish was keeping his opponent in check. Let him kick 3 goals. Both wingers repeatedly left their opponents hanging free outside congestion in the Bulldogs forward line, while Aish and Hughes went into the stoppage to increase numbers around the ball. Woeful tactics and if that's what JL wants from his wings, then he has no idea.

Clark is used to playing in the backline and could be far more accountable (if necessary) than the likes of Hill and Daicos. Having said that, I wouldn't even bother too much with defense and just let him off the leash like those other guys. I believe he has the tools to be an AA level attacking wingman.

I find it so frustrating playing high end creative talent in Young, Clark and Chapman all in defense at once. Maybe rotate 1 or 2 there, but I'd be giving all of them considerable time in the midfield.

is draper a forward or back? I know nothing

 

[DockerDerek]

Draper could come in for Ryan if they are going to give him a rest.

Rumours are he has been playing injured.

 

[Big Animal]

I agree. I think he is too nervous at the moment down back. Confidence shattered in the Pies final and still struggling.

He is a decent size too at 186cm. Can compete in the air.

Put Walker forward and if he shows something, then maybe look at a Luke Teal for example as a lockdown small defender in the MSD (yes, I know we need forwards/mids, but putting that aside and looking at the issues with Wilson/Walker/Wagner).

if only there was a person just like Walker but had skills at HHF.

 

[Taylor]

is draper a forward or back? I know nothing

Yes. He could play on the wing too if we wanted. Very versatile tall man.

I'd expect to see him in defense.

 

[mightymouse75]

Wow, that's what we have screaming for.
So don't get angry if it heads south

Oh I agree, I was just trying to explain what I think is Justin’s POV on the issue, Aish is one of his favourites too, he’s been down all season with impunity

Young should get CBA's in my opinion. He's hard at it, strong over the contest and the most damaging kick on our list. Too often we "win" clearance with dicky kicks to HFF or a wing. From the same spot Young could be driving us 30m out and giving our forwards a real decent go at it.

Jeez if Erasmus and Draper come in we'd have to be getting close to our youngest ever fielded team?

Nice 10 goal loss coming up!!

Brayshaw didn’t get through training.

Yeah don’t mind that at all. Problem is, he is probably too valuable for JL down back at the minute.

 

[Ysaye]

is draper a forward or back? I know nothing

He can and basically has played everywhere (196cm athletic type with good skills - played everything from ruck down to wingman) since Colts, but of recent times he has mainly been training and playing this year as a third tall defender in a similar vein to Chapman. With Chapman out I think they have been looking at him for that kind of role, but he also suits as a sub where he can literally pinch hit in any position as required.

Melbourne FC likes this.

****!!

 

[FreoRicci]

Brayshaw for Erasmus then?

Jesus this is going to be a mauling

 

[Righteo]

Yeah I feel bad for the dude if Draper has to debut as a defender against Bris in Bris. Talk about a brutal initiation, my first thought is Anthony Rocca
