AFL Player # 2: Sam Draper - Out for 6 to 8 weeks after knee surgery - 14/5

[Dave]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 20, TheUnicorn

 

[HirdsTheWord]

so he did some drugs right?

 

[footyfanatic111]

Meniscus is the report. Surgery, my guess might put him out 4-6.
especially being a ruckman whose done an ACL before (not sure if same knee or not)

They can take a lot longer than that to heal and have ongoing problems.
I had 3 arthroscopy in 6 month coz cartridge kept popping out left right and centre on my knee.
I think once it started I got 2 more years and my knees were shot. Sit here now at 54 with 2 full replacements - now that's what you want to get rid of knee pain

 

[Agronomus]

So do we bring in Bryan or Hayes?

Geez AFL scheduling cover up surgery now for drugs, going to great lengths.

 

[Milanista28]

Thank god we got Goldy, Draper can't play a full season.

 

[Vindicater]

If he didn't have a mullet he wouldn't be rated half as highly as he is. Give me David hille or bellchambers over this bloke any day of the week

David Hille yes.

Bell chambers no.

Get Visentini fitted with injectors.

Yep, let's get another injury prone ruckman

 

[DERO]

Get Big Bird in and just keep playing him.

 

[crackers65]

It’s make or break time for Bryan. If he doesn’t get regular games now with Draper injured, it can only mean coaches don’t rate him.

He’ll go to another club if he is not given a good run at it.

 

[maskmcgee]

Needs to go back through the VFL, no room for him right now.

 

[ant555]

We can always refuse until next year . Hopefully he gets some games at the back end and sets himself up for next year.

 

[bommer16]

Drapes to miss the next 6-8 weeks after arthroscopic surgery.
As per SEN.

 

[GoDons76!]

Not sure if it is a great loss. I like the look of us as we did against GWS, with two meter giving Goldy a chop out. My only concern is running Goldy into the ground, even though he is a warrior. I would love to see, Goldy to play Nth and show them what they are missing, then give Goldy a two week break against Cold COast and Rich (Bryan to come in). Goldy fresh to play the blues, then a two week break with our bye and West coast and then Draper is nearly back and you can re-asses then. We will need a fresh Goldy and heppel towards the back-end of the year, this is the perfect solution for both players (and even maybe Jakey)

 

[brutus76]

Might have a degenerative knee problem

Wouldn't offer him big $$$$ to stay when we have Bryan and Visentini

 

[Ati Tude]

We fell apart last year without Draper. Should be very different with Goldy there and our newfound Edge, but going to need to manage how we deal with him.

 

[Vindicater]

Bryan will get his chance in the next few weeks.

Rest Goldy for Richmond so he is fresh for Carlton.

I know the Tigers are struggling but Nank is a tough test. Big test to throw Bryan in solo . Personally I am not a big fan of resting blokes so they can be ready for a future clash. Form is form and when you are in good form my view is keep playing . Rest when you genuinely need a rest . We also play the Suns before the Blues game.

Happy either way.
