Not convinced Draper is an upgrade on ROB. Would argue he is the most like for like unco player in the league.

Would be a very hard pass from me

I would like a change from Rob but not for Draper.
If half the personalities in here calling for him had to watch him for a year this place would explode.
Incredibly frustrating 1/10 brilliant to average ratio and goes missing for long periods. Imo.

I mean, I would assume it's inarguable that our lack of experience has in some way contributed to our results this year.

And they obviously know that, judging by their off season efforts to bring in mature first 18 players.

Seems a strange thing to argue about.

Im not sure this fits the clubs narrative early in the year when they said all we needed was to hit the trade hard and we would do so aggressively

Adelaide have flagged they'll be aggressive in their recruitment approach come the 2024 trade and free agency period as they look to take the next step toward premiership contention.

“We got Chris Burgess in as a bit of key position depth and we’ll be aggressive over the next 12 months and hopefully top up our list, but internally we do think we’ve got the makings of a terrific list.

“We’ve got some terrific young players. We’ve got some kids who are developing and we hope they can take the next step and hopefully hurdle us towards finals.”

So that’s a “I can’t refute I’ll deflect”

I was just trying to bring a bit of humor to the board.

Oh don't worry though I'll be back to school you muppets on the rest of those laughable claims.

I should also note that removing Sloane from Adelaide's list (given that he retired without playing a game) significantly reduces both our average age & experience, compared to the Draft Guru list.

Removing Sloane from the list reduces our average age from 24.2 to 24.0 years, and our average experience from 58.8 games per player to just 54.4.

Only Norf have a list which is both younger & less experienced.

And Smith, it would have been better if he didn't "play" the first half of the season after that first round against GCS further reducing the average age.
