There is no way in hell Essendon is letting Draper go, don’t be alarmed saints fans haha

 

[Saintos The ITK]

That’s good, we definitely need more tall backs. Once we convert Maxie King into a CHB and send Marshall back to defence full time, we’ll only have about 14. Definitely need more.

We could just use Chos “wall” defence.
He invented it you know.

He's out of contract. If he tells Essendon he wants out to Saints he'll get there.

AFL trade news: St Kilda set to offer $1.7 million deal to untried Essendon ruckman Sam Draper

Saints set to offer $1.7 million to ruckman yet to play an AFL game

www.foxsports.com.au

This can't be true can it?

That's $425k a year over 4 years for a guy who hasn't played an AFL game, coming off an ACL and isn't a top draft pick.

You've also got Marshall playing well so why pay a likely back up ruckman so much money?

Well he is carrying injuries so we can’t write it off.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Is there any chance of our young players seeking a trade out of the club? etc coffield or clark

Doubt it. Besides they’re contracted aren’t they?

 

[Diehard Saint]

Hey guys.

Quick one. What’s the knock on billy longer? No impact around the ground?
Just curious as to why he’s not progressed with his footy.
Cheers

He is not very good

Mowman is correct, but on one of the Fox shows tonight they mentioned both he and Pierce were suffering from concussion.

Knew that about Pierce, but not Longer, so who knows.

He has the number 1 ruck spot for us sown up after next year and from everything I’ve seen of him on and off the field he is a popular character around the club.

Got a knock at the Sandy game about 4weeks ago

So basically we have Marshal and.....???

The Essendon arrogance is ripe.

Are we a concussion magnet or something?

To be honest, carries way too much injury risk. There’s no way he plays number 1 ruck next year after an acl and tendinitis. Possible 2 years time, but that’s a wait and see.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Because we really need mids and lots of them, just how we roll at Saint land

TBH the argument for Roma revolves around his ability v age. Getting another gun young'n is only a good thing.

Rowe..

Yeah that’s why I said after next year, he should have been playing instead of Zac Clarke earlier this year and the fact he got injured in the VFL before even getting the chance to play senior football this year really hurt.

I think the money for Draper is fine if you factor in Pierce is every chance to retire and Longer will be traded.

 

[Impatient Saint]

Can someone fill us in re Draper pls? I know nothing about him...

 

[MrFoster]

Are we a concussion magnet or something?

McCartin, Pierce, Longer, Langlands.. definitely a trend, maybe just unfortunate, maybe lack of awareness, maybe our long bombs/shocking disposal.. probably a combination of all 3...

 

[MrFoster]

21 year old, take. No. 1 in 2016 rookie draft by essendon. Did an ACL this year... saw a video highlights on YouTube, what stands out is his leap, marking and most strikingly, clean tap outs to his own mids..

You have wonder he lasted until the rookie draft then?

Who would take Longer?
