Speculation Sam Draper [RFA 2025]

[craffles]

Take him. I will personally pay you.

Jokes aside, big, angry tall who tackles hard and can mark but has below average disposal and average decision making. SA boy and Adelaide have come for him previously, as have St Kilda.

I would be happy to see him go and us focus on Nik Cox / Nick Bryan as rucks as I personally think his deficiencies are too big to overcome but maybe I’m a harsh marker as he plays for my own club.

What do oppos fans think? Is he any good? Will he stay or will clubs come for him.

I mentioned in the club focus thread trade him to the demons for 43 & 49. He might learn something under Gawn.

I would have lead your pitch with the mullet. Best trait, and I think mullets look stupid.

That said, apparently Crows are mad keen so your pain will probably be over by end of next year.

 

[Mostyn]

The Crows couldn't possibly be keen. Surely ...

 

[Libbaaaa]

Such a stiff, Bombers will give him a massive deal though, 100%.

He's exactly the type of overhyped B grader the Bombers would give 6 years for.

McGrath and Parish before him.

Oh dear

 

[Joao]

Oh dear

He's the missing piece.

 

[walterhobbs]

He's the missing piece.

Wrong SA club then!

 

[Joao]

Wrong SA club then!

For your sake I hope the media is wrong. Can't remember a player getting hyped without showing anything more than a mullet.

I agree. I was interested a while back in bringing him back but yer now he only adds a mullet

I’ve got a big call about Draper. If he's still there, there’ll be some members requesting refunds.

Edit: Obviously not as clever as I thought it was. This is just a slightly adjusted quote to what Draper said himself about players leaving the Dogs if Bevo was still there.

Five years ago.

We don't need a discount Rowan Marshall when we already have Rowan Marshall.

 

[Cam Payne]

If the Crows take him they might give him the same training routine Shane Strempel got at Brissy.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Would he be an improvement on O'Brien?

 

[hawkman]

He's exactly the type of overhyped B grader the Bombers would give 6 years for.

And Adelaide trade for

 

[jackster83]

And Adelaide trade for

We still owe you for Luke Lowden. Far out he was bad.

 

[Mostyn]

Would he be an improvement on O'Brien?

No.

I don't watch Essendon games, but have an Essendon supporting mate who hates this guy. What makes this guy so despised?

Obviously not an essendon fan but my read on Draper is that he is capable of brilliance, and mind numbing stupidity, and that the ratio at which these events occur is sub optimal.

More likely to cost you a game than win you one, but capable of both

 

[Dangerousfield]

We need an upgrade on ROB but Draper isn't it

Proof. The Adelaide games both ways.
