6 months of having to put up with a newspaper devoted to one young player - it would be irony if it was to happen
Reid is certainly talented, but Draper is talented and humble. I love how Fyfe and Luke Ryan spoke so highly of him this week - I have a lot of respect for quiet achievers. Paul Duffield had similar attributes.
And to think I spent so much time trying to phrase the "Draper is a liability" line in a positive way.
TBF to you, he had looked a bit off the level for a couple of games. Don't think many of us saw that game coming given the lead up and opposition.
My theory is that with Hugh Davies in the side Draper goes from being the rookie to being the old hand on a psychological level.
Yeah good call. He looked more confident for sure and it showed in his performance.

The psychology of sport is amazing and I think this comment has merit, even though it might sound ridiculous at a "logical" level.
You'll get your wish on Saturday night I reckonCan we play this guy when Cox comes back?
Have to agree. It takes a certain kind of genius to have such ridiculous insights.
Defence is such a high pressure environment, the relief valve effect of going WAFL 1 week and then coming straight back in, could easily simplify how he understands his role and allow him to have some slicing clarity.
I think comparing yourself to other rookies would have more of the opposite effect.
Have to disagree. It takes a certain kind of genius to have such ridiculous insights and you seem like the type to put the whores before Descartes.
Given the generally harmless nature of the sidewalk "I'm a genius" claimant... sure, great insight.

You'd have to think he'd get the rising star this week?
Lawson Humphries played a good game for Geelong as well though.
Born at a very early age no doubt.

Will Graham. Fair enough, he's certainly deserving. Unlucky for Josh. Body of work ahead of individual performance, which is standard.
