You have me confused with someone else. Show me where I said that.

I dont care enough to argue. If you do you do, if you dont you don't.

 

[VelvetSledge]

That's enough, guys.

Thanks.

Probably heard it from this article on the bombers website from yesterday

"A leg injury has kept exciting ruckman Sam Draper away from the main group in recent sessions but he is expected to soon return to full fitness."

Remember when we signed Jake Long for 84 years?

We have history of not caring about doing footy good.

I suspect he wanted to go with "I am the Drape Daddy" but they protected him from himself.

Think Don Draper will still get another 5000 run-outs

Re: scrapping with Nic Nat

"it was standing up for my teammates and standing up for myself. It's an area of my game I've tried to excel in and put some time into and I like to make my teammates stand taller and if I keep doing that then that's great"

I can't express how much I love this. Sounds like there's not much he wouldn't do for his team mates. I've said it before, but Drapes is gonna give oppo supporters the sh*ts.

Will become our most important player from this year going forward

So ******* good.

 

[Beerfish]

That haircut just gets ruder the longer the game goes on.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I wasn't taking notes or anything but it felt like we really had the ascendancy in the midfield when he was in the ruck. He wasn't up against much by way of quality opposition it must be said but I'm still super pumped up for what he'll bring this year.
