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

[Cleric]

He's the one I wanted. Speed, line breaker, evasive, runs both ways and kicks goals, averaging 1 goal a game at SANFL this year.

Welcome Sid.

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

Crows fan makes it even better

Talk is he’s ready to go but maybe not as high a ceiling as some others. Time will tell

Did we fly Laird over to explain team expectations to him?

Cmon STO

A night of celebration and love with officially the highest % of love emojis ever received relative to posting levels.

Are you stoked mate?

Wait till he is able to get a preseason or 2 under his belt and be injury free..we might have an absolute star in the making

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned...

But who ever did the banner for this thread... seriously well done! Just awesome!

 

[cmndstab]

That is an exceptionally poor trade for North. Give up their 2025 1st round pick, to get pick 27 this year (Matt Whitlock) and Richmond's 2nd rounder next year.

That could easily be a top 3 pick next year!

The bad Vic clubs - and the 2 Northern expansion clubs - have always helped the stronger Vic teams. That trade is so bad for North it should not have passed the AFL integrity unit.

Laird will put in a D-Mac/Murphy level preseason.

E.L.I.T.E.

PBs in everything. Greatest preseason in the history of sport.

Death Taxes and Laird putting in the pre season of his life to get that starting mid role

 

[Geoffa32]

I know we should not get too far ahead of ourselves, but locally speaking we have had Ports number for a couple of years now apart from when they ko'd Rankine and pinched the last one. Since then, we have added Cumming to half back, Peatling and Draper as midfielders and ANB across half forward. Port have lost Houston and apart from getting Lukosius, the brought in some also rans and whoever they get in the draft.

We are looking stronger, not sure they are going forward

Hopefully we can win Finals too....

So Port traded up one spot to get Joe Berry.

I've never understood pick trades that move you up a single spot. Surely if the club you're trading with wants the player you're going to pick, then they won't do the trade. And if they agree to the trade, they weren't going to take them anyway, right?

West Coast just picked the best local lad with their pick, they were never going after the player Port wanted. Why give up pick 45 for nothing?

Because Freo wanted Joe Berry as well and were also offering West Coast picks and WC were probably too afraid that Freo were bluffing to get Allen

 

[Mattrox]

I assume someone has already snapped up the Draper2Curtin username...

So very punny.

 

[Scorpus]

Feels like I'm living in a dream with us picking a top end midfielder

 

[pjcrows]

Needs a body of work before he pushes out Laird or Crouch.

 

[Pugsley]

We got a good one here.

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.

FCC..

Just niko pen it onto his locker tomorrow.

And they upgraded McEntee.

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

Give him back to Sturt where he belongs

 

[StonesThrow]

It's very unusual for us to have a top end pick and there be multiple pure midfielders available that are all rated closely.

 

[hippyhippy]

Leg arms Thommo at his age was nowhere as big ... Hes physically ready to go already.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

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