True, he might be purposely dropping and misjudging mark for the last few years.ROB will probably turn into Simon Madden as soon as we trade him.
That's a risk I'm willing to takeROB will probably turn into Simon Madden as soon as we trade him.
Agreed but I wouldn't feel comfortable in Reid or Hamish were the spuds in charge of negotiating that dealFunnily enough if Rachele moved and it enabled us to get a topline established mid in, I'd do it or if it enabled us to get pick 1 or 2 in this draft I would do it. Ie if say Richmond wanted him badly and offered us their pick for him so we could get FOS or Smillie along with Draper in this draft.
Now don't get me wrong I see a big upside to Rachele and are more than happy for him to stay with us long term but right now I think he is not being handled correctly and it could be a win win if it allowed us to really get a top end projected mid along with the one hopefully we will get with our own top 5 pick.
Lobb is gone at years end and so is English so Rob is a ready made ruckman, good luck to themImagine losing English and replacing with Rob
Would you believe I made it all up at least the draper part for dramatic effectOk Crypto, we do like a rumour and hope the poster isn’t full of manure, reckon these are your first bit of info. Without naming a source is it coming from someone in club land, agent etc and how confident you in your source?
Rob I can see going, might explain why we aren’t playing him.
Can’t see us needing Draper if we are getting Moyle.
Rachelle doesn’t look happy so that wouldn’t surprise.
As for Taylor why would he want to stick around so he might get a go on the half forward flank at some stage, but if we lost him due to lack of opportunity and he turns out, that’s just going to be ****ed and typical of this shitshow.
Lacing people off either boot on the run like he's peak D JarmanROB will probably turn into Simon Madden as soon as we trade him.
We have as much chance of getting pick 1 or 2 for Rachele as we do of winning this years flag. Everyone’s seen all the vision this year, it’s not a secret just known by us. Imagine trying to sell that to your supporter base, giving upFunnily enough if Rachele moved and it enabled us to get a topline established mid in, I'd do it or if it enabled us to get pick 1 or 2 in this draft I would do it.

29 at end of year and is contracted for another 3 years. Did sign his extension before his breakout last year, but would cost a lot of money and a long contract to attract.On the rumour board, so probably no substance, someone has said Rohan Marshall is unhappy at the Saints.
He would be a good get.
Going to add any context here? Of course not.The last time ROB and Draper went head to head
I thought we wanted to upgrade ROB?
Essendon
Sam Draper 17 HO's
Peter Wright 7 HO's
Harrison Jones 1 HO
Adelaide
Reilly O'Brien 40 HO's
Riley Thilthorpe 2 Ho's
Outside of the last line, the rest has been floated here previously so doesn't seem too outlandish.Ok Crypto, we do like a rumour and hope the poster isn’t full of manure, reckon these are your first bit of info.

Yeah I'm looking at Hunter Schaefer but that doesn't mean I'm ever going to be in the same hemisphere as her.Outside of the last line, the rest has been floated here previously so doesn't seem too outlandish.
Rachele one is a waste of time imo, I'm sure clubs are "looking" but it won't go anywhere.

Like it being back in 2021? Draper's 14th game at AFL vs ROB with a touch over 50 games? Draper being 22 years old compared to Rob at 25?
Draper had 6 clearances for the game, equal second most on the ground with Laird, only behind Stringer. Rob had just 1 himself. Both had 10 touches, Draper wins with marks and tackles - rather irrelevant either way.
Or since hitouts = better ruckman, how about the score? 84 to 21 their way, odd with such dominance in hitout numbers...
-------------
I'm not really high on Draper myself but just love the concept of throwing up hitouts and thinking that proves a point. ROB is averaging the most hitouts in the comp this season, so he's the best ruck out there too?

We are playing rob and strachen...Draper is rubbish.
Are we becoming the North Melbourne of the last decade? Going after anyone who will come here regardless.35 year old Todd Goldstein immediately became the Bombers leading ruck when they recruited him ..think about that for a second and ask yourself if Draper is an upgrade on ROB. That's of course when Draper's not in the medical room instead of on the playing field.
If we're upgrading ROB I don't see Draper as a significant upgrade, in fact I'd be in group that don't think he's an upgrade at all. We should be looking to do better than Draper who incidentally is contracted for 2025.
Wayne would offer pick 74What do you think we’d get for Rachelle now? It’s going to be a pick in the teens so we’d be going backwards
