They're fundamentally different players. JHF has way more explosiveness and an ability to break a game open, whereas I think Draper is going to be a little more well rounded. My guess is that he will be less likely to drift in and out of games like JHF does, and have a better capacity to cover...

Draper was on a SANFL podcast yesterday and mentioned the Draper family were Blues supporters before the Crows entered the competition...

Guess who the Draper family supported before the Crows came into the competition? Carlton.

Spent some time with one of the coaches at South Adelaide last time Bays played down there, said he's an absolutely ripping kid, really level headed. Future Captain material and already has really professional attributes. Said he's just marginally behind in terms of ability at where JHF was...

You have to wonder whether we might be a bit gun-shy on Draper with his injury history, in particular with us having rolled the dice on Pedlar, and him continuing to have major shoulder issues, despite us knowing about those in his draft year... 'Draper is in Melbourne for this week's Draft...

Surely Lombard goes higher after his combine results??

Thank you for this! Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

GWS are definitely going to get two end of 1st round compensation picks for Cumming and Perryman.If we rate Peatling and Dodson high enough i'd be going to GWS and trading our Future 1st to them for Peatling and one of their End of 1st rounders...

Clubs in the Premiership window don't have a Top 5 pick! (aside from Melbourne, but i see them falling off a cliff next year)

Yeah i just don't reckon he's worth the equiv of a Top 3 pick, as per prev posters scenario... I think his worth, taking into account his age and playing in an otherwise largelu unaccountable position, is 10-15

100%. This board does love to flagellate

It really should be a warning to players at teams like the Cats, who seem to be able to rope players into taking 1 year contracts instead of fielding better offers. Parfitt DEFINITELY had better long term offers on the table, and I believe we were one of the interested parties a few years ago...

Houston ain't worth that much, some posters on here posing pie in the sky value for him. He's a glorified HB, dime a dozen

100%. It would be one of these, or Gold Coasts end of 1st I'd be targeting to Pick up Dodson if he's still on the board. I know Twomey has him at 26 in the latest Phantom, but I think he'll go somewhere in the 15-20 range... If we could get that deal in before the draft that would be even...

Cumming and ANB, A 26 year old and 29 year old, both quick, both fit list needs, raise our age profile/experience... Fantastic pickups, especially Cumming if we can get his body right. We desperately need speed and we've picked up two pacey players, I like it.. Add Draper into that mix and...

If we've upped our offer then I reckon GWS will be very happy...

Nice to see the Rumours thread being hijacked by some of our prolific posters again

Jeez the smells of absolute horsesh!t to me. Rachele himself came out and confirmed he was dropped not because of that one incident, but for several. The general consensus was that the ‘No teeth’ comment was fine before the match, a bit of rivalry, but the leadership group asked him not to do...

100% - We should sack the list management team if Port end up with Cumming/Perryman, and I'm shocked we haven't gone after both with our salary cap space...

Yeah but you've just said there 'in multiple positions'. One of them was highly unlikely going to be in the forward line. It's not just where we see his capabilities but it's where he WANTS to be. If Port we able to sell him a vision of being exclusively up forward then it's a no-brainer for...

Yeah it means naught about what WE thought his value would be, it would be where he sees himself positionally. I really don't doubt that Port were simply able to sell him a future of him in the forward line, we couldn't. Its not that hard to see

We've had a crack at him before, but by all reports he was pretty settled in GC, and wasn't keen on moving back to SA at all. He was a Crows supporter growing up, but it's THIS year he's being shoved out by GC, so it's more about where he sees himself fitting in positionally, and with Port...

Luko to Port makes sense to me, not really fussed about that. The one that has me scratching my head is Cumming and Perryman. There's been a tonne of interest from Port for Perryman, but why not us? Surely we can give him midfield time.... are we thinking we have enough experience in there...

Port should really be going all out, as they're in their window. If they're selling Houston just to have the trade capital to get Luko over the line is really just robbing Peter to pay Paul. Luko + Perryman will also blow their salary capital out of the water, but it will technically provide...

Yeah i'm 50/50 with it, but realistically we KNOW he's always wanted a Forward role, that's straight from the horses mouth. Crows fan growing up, but best mates with Rozee, and heading to Port who can offer him a forward role. He's spent the better part of 5 years getting d!cked around at GC...

No way, he's cooked, and ROB is more than serviceable.

Future 1st with GC's Pick 20 this year coming back.... It's a text book salary dump, we shouldn't be taking any less

Yep, I'd say he's Port bound unfortunately...

The AFL site seems to allude to the fact that he's already told GWS who he wants to go to, but GWS have decided not to announce that? Read between the lines there, I'd say he's gone to Port
