Just not afl match fit, plus half the time he plays he gets subbed out after 50% match time.
Yep he definitely would’ve been subbedI assume cox going out early ruined their sub plans for Bryan
It is going to be an interesting trade period. There is some interest in Draper from SA as well.Has to keep playing and we simply have to hold him to next years contract. Not the finished product and may never be but he is better than the scraps available .
You'd probably do a Draper trade if it gets us the crom's first round pickIt is going to be an interesting trade period. There is some interest in Draper from SA as well.

He is contracted so we don't have to trade him unless we are comfortable with itProvided Nick Bryan hasn’t left to seek opportunities elsewhere.
They simply have to hold unless the offer is too good.It is going to be an interesting trade period. There is some interest in Draper from SA as well.
Adelaide aren’t going to trade for Draper when he’s a free agent next yearIt is going to be an interesting trade period. There is some interest in Draper from SA as well.
we’ll see.Adelaide aren’t going to trade for Draper when he’s a free agent next year
They may aswell burn the joint down if they even think about offering their first for a player like draper.You'd probably do a Draper trade if it gets us the crom's first round pick
He is exploring his options and is a big chance to ask for a trade.I think he will definitely explore his options.
He has done OK against Witts and now Grundy.

playing alongside Draper and appearing to play as much ruck as SD should mean we hold him to his contract and he does play 18+ games next year. Could feasibly fight with and push out draper for the #1 ruck spot if he continues to improve.He is exploring his options and is a big chance to ask for a trade.
Would seem an odd move to leave for more opportunity when he is now clearly in the best 22. He may have even moved ahead of Draper in the ruck pecking order with Draper taking the ruck/forward role.I’m hoping the taste in the back end of the year and an indication that he plays most weeks next year keeps him at the club but he is frustrated and wants more opportunity. There is also a rumour that Draper is looking at an offer from SA as well.
I would laugh my arse off if we are just left with Goldy.
I think its already happened with Bryan the ruck and Draper the ruck/forwardplaying alongside Draper and appearing to play as much ruck as SD should mean we hold him to his contract and he does play 18+ games next year. Could feasibly fight with and push out draper for the #1 ruck spot if he continues to improve.
Maybe now but he wasn’t getting a regular game a few weeks ago. We’ll see… there is a fair bit of interest i.e offers in front of him.Would seem an odd move to leave for more opportunity when he is now clearly in the best 22.

Without knowing the details of the offers it doesn't surprise me and wouldn't surprise if there is more money than what we currently have him signed up for. Might be a case of renegotiating/extending the contract early to match his new standing in the team. The opportunity is now clearly there. He is in the team as the ruckman and its not due to injury to anyone.Maybe now but he wasn’t getting a regular game a few weeks ago. We’ll see… there is a fair bit of interest i.e offers in front of him.
