Welcome Welcome to Adelaide: Sid Draper - Pick 4, 2024

yuk

He’s a former captain FFS.

 

[The Shapeshifter]

That "targeting Round 1" talk would have gone down like a lead balloon internally.

They’ve already had a chat, more circumspect when asked in that interview about rd1

 

[n4sir]

We got a good one here.

Worked for Max and Rachele.

Seriously though, a lot will hinge on how much of the pre season he's able to do. He's a bloody hard worker so he'll want to get on the track pretty quickly.

I reckon we'll want to get him in the side pretty quickly

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Welcome Sid.

They've said ready to go on the broadcast....

Crows fan makes it even better

So we sub him on as a high half forward in Round 7?

 

[jenny61_99]

Guess my source in August was spot on.

 

[ams4crows]

Draper to wear 9 and the blonde bombshell in 9 to continue!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Sooo Port effectively gave up Houston for Joe Berry.....

& threw in a 3rd rounder for good measure.

 

[The Shapeshifter]

They’ve given him welsh’s gurnsey by the looks.

 

[pjcrows]

It's quite obvious now based on his body language that Sid always wanted to play for Adelaide and is very excited, but played a straight bat throughout the year and the pre-draft.

Josh Money is an absolute flog.

 

[Crouch]

Absolutely stoked we picked up this kid. I was convinced Carlton would pick him up - never been so happy to be wrong.

Can someone fill me in regarding his injury concerns? Something about his back or shin?

 

[ams4crows]

Nice work Jenny, ears to the ground always

 

[Dirty Bird]

Then Draper precedes to "tag" his opponent & get 30 possessions lol.

Great
Just what we need
Our very own Kornes

 

[Golumless]

Whats even more confusing is they drafted a small forward after giving 25 year old Richards 4 years based on 9 games. I would've thought a key forward to replace Dixon/Esava/Marshall might've been a priority. I'm sure Berry is their next instalment of the 'missing piece.

Port could use multiple small forwards. After all, Darcy Byrne-Jones was their second best small...

 

[DaKids]

On a similar note, is Draper still the only SA player picked so far?

Ned Bowman. Swannies continuing a bit of an obsession with boys from St Peter’s

Pars defect

Lower back stress fracture, shouldn't be any issue long term

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Very happy

Bit of a weird pick, but they can afford to take their time with him

 

[Punchy Bassett]

That's even worse than the Josh Sinn trade but somehow they'll get no media focus on it.

Tyson Edwards off to Turkey

I mean when you learn from Tredrea.....

 

[Cromulant]

Tyson Edwards off to Turkey

Tailem Bend actually.....

To coach

 

[The Shapeshifter]

You have one or two questions with a draftee and you waste one on asking about if he thought about the Bryce Gibbs Carlton connection.

 

[jenny61_99]

Does anyone else think Draper is a bit of a Michelanny look alike?

 

[The Shapeshifter]

Blonde? Isn’t he a straight up red head?
