My Boy Draft 2022: Pick 29, Mr Bultitude

Considering Hurley and Hooker are near the end, this is a massive signing. Has backline general written all over him

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Big signing, this kid has got some talent. Good to see he’s formed some good friendships as well, seems close with Draper and heading overseas with Redman. Will help his anxiety no doubt.

 

[brendan84]

Thank *! This campaigner is the future of our defence

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Nice one franga!

 

[Blind Turn]

Relieved and priapic at the same time

Priapism is no laughing matter. If it persists for long enough you’ll be pleading for the ******* thing to be cut off. I know full well the agony after Tippa kicked that goal against Norf this year.

 

[Towno78]

Interesting interview. Clearly just wants to belong to a group. Thank fu** the younger guys got around him.

Yep, sounds like a lot of self-doubt there too. Can't wait to see what we have when this bloke builds some confidence.

 

[NAB777]

Fantastic.
Now put in another good pre-season & kick some butt next year.

Weirdly reminds me of Ben Stokes, without the criminal record

or the s**t tattoos

As a fellow MC1R mutant, I can relate

You guys are like ants. Could take over the world if you really wanted to.

I see this bloke as the Hurley replacement long term and I'm pretty happy with the signing. I see him and Bezerker forming a very good duo in years to come. I'd also send Hooker up forward next year unless by some miracle we have a fit Daniher and McKernan combo available up there already in which case I'm not entirely sure but I won't worry too much about having all our players fit because when does that happen.

 

[Dave]

Very nice.

 

[Haychh]

Sam Draper worth every penny even just as a mentor and life coach. What a great young lad.

Saint Francis of Tullamarine - good to have him on board. Love the way he goes about it.

We did alright with Hooker, Daniher and Stewart in the forwardline.
Hooker, McKernan and Stringer would be okay.
Daniher, McKernan/Stewart, Stringer would be ideal but seems an eternity away.

 

[MiguelM]

Wrapped. He may even be better than Hurley over his career. Love his field kicking.

 

[sameolds33]

Good news!

 

[Beerfish]

On going to Europe with Mason Redman "Yeah he's up for anything that bloke".

 

[brutus76]

Franga the Ranga you banger! Good fella!

 

[tperks]

Love that he’s signed for 3. Shows his love and passion for the current group. Could’ve easily signed for 1-2 and reassessed from there but we’re clearly doing something right. 3 more at the dons feels like a good indicator that we’re at least doing the right things off the field
Can’t help but have a huge smile on my face watching this bloke talk about his love for Draper as well, so glad he’s sticking round.
