"Fremantle Next Generation Academy graduate Josh Draper appears to be enjoying life as an AFL player.

The 197cm key defender already measures up to most of his teammates but for a first-year player, the former basketballer is building the size to complement his frame.

After missing the Under-18 National Championships with injury, Draper moved freely on Monday.

His athletic qualities were on full display as he soared for contested marks while Draper’s work ethic was also impressive during a defensive drill.

Draper joined fellow NGA products Eric Benning, Brandon Walker and Liam Henry on Fremantle’s list after being overlooked in the AFL draft."


Just signed up to CodeSports - will let you know if it's any good.

Signed up myself. First 3 months for $1. It's got Duffield and Eliza so it's worth it for those 3 months. Unfortunately Duffield is exclusively covering Eagles.

Why would Duffield do that?

I'm assuming Eliza Reilly was already the incumbent Freo person on staff.

Interview with Justin Longmuir on SEN (probably will be on the club website later). Skip to about 4:30 min as there's a bit of filler before JL arrives. Various questions throughout about which players are best 22, players who can play wing, Cox's injury. Players are on a 4 day break till next training session.

I watched that documentary about AFL agents the other day.

Seems straight out of their playbook - make a s**t tonne of media noise without having anything concrete in place.

Every single one of their clients in the doc did not achieve their desired outcome.

Matt Johnson - missed the first round
Bobby Hill - not traded
Rory Lobb - not traded

jeez 88 goals in 23 games for Kosi apparently, snatch him up then

Yeah that's got to be a typo

Henry

Thanks Col. I’m so glad this was cleared up early on. Good luck to Henry securing that wing position this season.

 

[Taylor]

Eighty-eight goals from sixty two games.

 

[Purple Suit]

Henry

Demons interest would be nice as you know SOS will come hard during trade week in-between negations with all the Carlton failures. Either way, he will have a best 22 spot or we won't be able to hold him anyway due to opportunity.

Not Freo related.. but

Darling will get an undisclosed payout without it seeing court.

 

[greatgatsby]

So Darling is an anti-vaxxer but wants money from anyone who describes him as such. That's some character there.

Just seizing an opportunity to make money. Anti vaxxer whose feelings are hurt by someone calling him an anti vaxxer.

Brayshaw eyes bigger impact with midfield growth

The improvement, and additions, of others in the midfield can only help Andrew Brayshaw in 2023

Brayshaw calls JOM a campaigner. Culture problems?

His comment was JOM was an experienced campaigner
That’s a whole different context.
And it was alluding to fulfilling Mundys role.
So nothing to see here ???

Interesting to sue a sponsor.

I think we've identified yet another of the many creative ways WC use to manage the salary cap .

Covering it up doesn't help. It all comes out in the wash as we've learned many times in the past.

How long before we find out Andy flipped his car?

 

[anchor man]

Could have something to do with the agent of Freo boy .Always seems to be turmoil at Freo with his players, But not that there is, just seems, from reports that none of his players are happy at Freo..
