than this bloke nowadays

Draper does some magical stuff but T Bell is probably a more complete player.

I reckon you win more with a Draper type as a ruck.

Although I agree that a more complete player would be nice. I am hoping Bryan goes right by him.

I still don’t think he has hit his ceiling yet. A couple of years away from his peak years I reckon. His overhead marking definitely improved towards the end of the year I thought. It’s a shame he started footy so late he might have ironed out some of those fundamentals earlier.

Has looked good playing forward so far this pre season. Taking a few strong grabs and kicking a few goals.

It will be great if he can put it all together.

Not sure he has much improvement ruck wise but I do think he has scope to be a 30-40 goal forward / second ruck.

His marking has definitely improved over the last year. I think it’s more about minimising the brain fades. It makes sense to him to be training up forward if they intend on playing Bryan more regularly.

 

[Happyskeret]

My boy is the best! He ain’t practicing because of his deficiencies! It’s because of Bryan’s deficiencies. If Bryan is a better ruck than Draper is abettor footballer! Shots have been fired’nn

 

[Happyskeret]

My boy will show the way otherwise you have a combo of Wtight and Bryan!!!!!
