He's going to annoy people when he's fully developed, f*n love him.

 

[ant555]

Don't try to make me like the guy.

As an alpaca farmer he would be a very likable bloke.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

How refreshing is it for someone to be playing with a little bit of mongrel in the team.

 

[MattyB3150]

Sometimes when your feeling down about our football team you have to think of some positives... And this guy is a positive to look forward to. Look forward to see him play live when we get back to the ground!

Had his colors lowered by a very under rated lead ruck and an apt deputy in Lycett and Ladahams on the weekend but continues to impress with his willingess to compete.

Was beaten today but looking forward to what he can do next year after a full pre-season

He's going to piss off so many oppo supporters.

I can't wait.

 

[Beerfish]

This campaigner will bring me back next year if nothing else.

Pretty much taken to school by big daddy.

The good thing is that it was all technical. He already has the size and strength to compete with Gawn.

Hopefully Draper gets a lot of work with Jamar over the next 6 month. Jamar was the technician to end them all. Small, well under 2m for a ruck, and no athleticism but managed to be a prolific tap ruckman. Just the guy to hone Draper's craft.

Is the russian still at Essendon?

 

[blitzer]

The games we got into him this year will be enormous for our future. Praying for a full preseason from him. Structurally may be our most important player going into next year.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Huge start to his career. A full preseason will do him a world of good. Pumped to see what he brings to the table next year.

Surely we could have found a photo that makes Draper the focus?

 

[brutus76]

A ruck version of Roger Merrett.

A bit of aggro and who wouldn't want to rumble with him.

DRAPERMAN! Believe!

Jamar was a beast.
I still love when Gov tried to give some niggle and he rounded him with a nice hook. poor little gov went quickly into his shell.

My favourite player of the non draftees. Looking for a good year from the big man to enhance his steadily improving reputation.

Love the fact hes got a bit of mongrel in him and looks to hurt people when given a chance. We seriously have missed that kind of a player!

He had the balls to get stuck into it with Nic Nat after his 4th~ game. Instant respect from me.

Didn't he get in to Mumford as well?

Cody Brand taking 38 all but confirms Draper is getting 2.

He should take a Ruckman's number like #19

Looking forward to the Draper / Bryan ruck combo. With Wright on the field as well we should be sweet for rucks for a few years now. It's only taken Leuenberger, Clarke, McKernan and Phillips to get here.

Yuck

Why Sam why

A big man needs a big number
