Port Adelaide fan-favourite Willem Drew is preparing to play his 100th AFL game this Friday night, and it’s a moment that means a lot to the 25-year-old.
After a string of foot injuries inhibited the first few years of his AFL career, Drew wasn’t sure he would ever reach this point, making the...
Hey guys, can’t seem to remember who the Ross drew stand was named after...was it two separate people?
Geelong cricket player?
I sat in it multiple times in my life but never knew who Ross or Drew are/were. If you can help that would be great.
Also struggling to find a picture of said...
Defender Trent McKenzie, midfielder Willem Drew and defender Jake Pasini have agreed to terms on respective two-year contract extensions until the end of 2022.

Out of contract, hasn't played a game this year, mostly due to injury, and has only played 10 games in his 4 years at the club. I know Port fans love him but could he decide to leave in a bid for more game time at the end of the year?
What's he worth, both in a trade and monetary wise? I doubt...

Welcome to this Round 4 clash of BigFooty's very own, inaugural 2020 e-AFL Premiership Season. With the real season in limbo, our team will be recreating the terminated AFL season in a series of simulated games over the coming weeks, in a jam-packed, action-filled series of 153 games plus...
...on the board to help come to a conclusion on this one. I've got no idea personally. Wines is an aggressive wrecking ball but a mongrel kick. Rockliff is a decent ball winner but a slow pig at times, and drew has solid outside play but perhaps not enough direct involvement in the play? I don't...
Petrie has announced his retirement. Disappointed that he went to West Coke for a year but all credit to him for his efforts - had a very serviceable season. Thanks for your efforts at North. Great bloke and player.
Just like to give a big "thanks" to Drew Petrie for his efforts at the Eagles. His heart and hunger for the contest is second to none in our side and i seriously hope that the rest of the team learn from his actions. You dont have to be a superstar to excel in this game to get to 300 games...
Sad to hear of the passing of another really good man. Drew really loved his work and it showed in his professionalism and his quality of commentary. Never a wasted word. RIP "Morpho".
sad news for the fourth estate

As a young Sydney-born lad, his calls on games on the ABC were my introduction to the game waay back in the late 70s
No nonsense and no-frills he called games as he...
The voice of The Winners, Drew Morphett, passed away suddenly last night, apparently watching the footy with a glass of red in hand. By all accounts he was a genuine 'good bloke' and loved by all who knew him. I liked him as a commentator too.
Sports broadcaster Drew Morphett dies aged 69...
Can't believe this news. Listened to him just last week to the GWS/Eagles game. Probably not the greatest commentator, but had a boyish enthusiasm for whatever he was calling that made him quite likable.
Probably belongs on 4th Estate, however I feel it is worth recognising his contribution to AFL and particularly commentary both on 7 and radio.
Drew was an excellent commentator who was able to call things directly and simply without the crap that commentators of today like Luke Darcy and...
Not many players at 34 with 300 games under their belt would move to the other side of the country to be rookie listed as a 3rd or 4th choice forward/ruckman.
4 goals last week with Kennedy out, and supported Vardy in the ruck. Another useful game today with 8 marks and supporting Vardy in the...
HELLO everyone, and welcome to the first official All Star Weekend of the Sweet F.A!
The best of the best in the entire League will battle it out in the classic East vs West rivalry based on location in the land of Sweet.
Without further adieu, here are how the teams will be split

Why Drew.....why would you put all us North supporters through this pain...
It appears that West Coast have recruited Drew Petrie to help cover the Nic Nat/Lycett injuries this year, but is he really the 'pinch-hit ruckman' people are making him out to be?
