Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation Part 3

[Coopers]

Why? Is this just your opinion on him based on your personal interactions Bicks?

Or is it because he flopped on a ball last year and got away with it - then joked with his mates that he couldn’t believe he got away with it?

Haircut

 

[Scorpus]

I wouldnt say massive downgrade, but hes certainly not an upgrade.

Essendon fans dislike Draper to the same or even greater degree we dislike ROB

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Was talking with an Essendon supporter at work about Draper and his take is that he's decent at winning the footy, and he's mobile for his size but his kicking is a coin toss and he lacks footy IQ and composure.

Can he mark because he’s sounding like an upgrade

Both took the exact same amount of marks in 2024 (49). Historically O'Brien has been much better at marking the footy but Drapers numbers are trending the right way unlike ROB's.

He's not

Maybe talk to some Bombers supporters ...

ROB's a lot of things but he's most definitely not a tool.

 

[BRL121]

Marginal if at all re ROB though most certainly a step up from Strachan...but one thing that not up for question is Draper is a dead set tool.

Yes, but he'd be our tool.

Nah, talking to bombers supporters is a bridge too far [emoji23]

Maybe talk to ESS staff, board members, and supporters .....Draper is universally loved

Is always staying back after training, signing autographs, and chatting to supporters

Great fella .....you're talking out of your backside, with no knowledge

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Surely the Draper rumours are being made up by us, just to light a fire under ROB

He was fine after he was dropped.

Carrot/Stick he's very much in need of the stick

The problem with Barnett and Smith I highly doubt either are ready to step into ROB's lead ruck role immediately.

I'm interested to see if Smith or recent Lions signing Sam Day get the vacant Daniher spot up forward and chop out ruck duties

Think smith is more a ruck forward but oscar has the ruck covered hence why id offer him a 4-5 year deal to entice him home to play ruck .Is now 22 100kg and 202 cm

Oscar is a year older than ROB but

And Darcy Fort is 2 years older than ROB

 

[Danger in Texas]

Look I’m sure that personality-wise, Draper’s one of those guys that’s loved by his club and fan base, hated by every other fan base

The thing I care about is that he’s a downgrade on ROB, which for an AFL-standard ruck, is pretty hard

Thats why you try to get him now before he gets that no1 mantle. Offer him it here

Did I say that ? .....all I said was Draper was universally loved at ESS

Amazing how you can twist posts to completely misrepresent what is actually said .....try reading & comprehending

Great fellas generally indicates you like them
