Very good season to be shit especially when Draper got injured in the 1st half of the season. Clearly Nicks decided to "tank" for him and given the stupid decision he made, I'm surprise the AFL didn't sanction us for tanking.Smith and Laird helped us get Draper

Are we sure they aren't all secret love children of Modra?
Very exciting to see Draper in Crows colours. Love his reaction in the video above to what it'd be like to run out on to Adelaide Oval in front of a full house. Genuine! Looks like the type of character that will embrace the challenge too and may take some pressure off the likes of Thilthorpe and Rachele who can hopefully go about their business. Someone earlier in this thread mentioned he be given the number 9 and I think that would be entirely appropriate. Good luck to him!

Are you forgetting Cook in 2020?First player the Crows men have selected from South Adelaide since James Turner & Rhys Archard in the 2006 Rookie Draft
Oh God… the list I looked at didn’t have him on it hahaha…. Whoops…
2 in the last 4 years after none from the previous 14 years.

Rhys Archard now is a horse trainer back in Victoria.

Absolutely, great point.
Nicks and co would never give a new draftee a spot in the team round 1, you know apart from doing it with McCasey, Berry, Rowe, Rachele, Soligo, and Max.
Thats only 6 new draftees in 5 years getting a game round 1.
For me Sid is the cherry on top of what has been a very good trade/draft period for us.
Welcome on board Sid
Welcome on board Sid
I can understand that it’s probably a bit of recency bias with the Curtin situation, but I have no doubt Sid can (and should) play R1

New draftees getting a game Rd 1 is definitely not a concern with Nicks as proven by his track record over the past 5 years.
Some of the older and more jaded posters are still stuck in the Neil Craig era.

We had time to get a jumper with Drapers name printed on the back.
Why did we get him a XXXXL size???
