Player Watch Sid Draper

yuk

He’s a former captain FFS.

That "targeting Round 1" talk would have gone down like a lead balloon internally.

They’ve already had a chat, more circumspect when asked in that interview about rd1

 

[n4sir]

We got a good one here.

Worked for Max and Rachele.

Seriously though, a lot will hinge on how much of the pre season he's able to do. He's a bloody hard worker so he'll want to get on the track pretty quickly.

I reckon we'll want to get him in the side pretty quickly

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Welcome Sid.

They've said ready to go on the broadcast....

Crows fan makes it even better

So we sub him on as a high half forward in Round 7?

 

[jenny61_99]

Guess my source in August was spot on.

 

[ams4crows]

Draper to wear 9 and the blonde bombshell in 9 to continue!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Sooo Port effectively gave up Houston for Joe Berry.....

& threw in a 3rd rounder for good measure.

 

[The Shapeshifter]

They’ve given him welsh’s gurnsey by the looks.

 

[pjcrows]

It's quite obvious now based on his body language that Sid always wanted to play for Adelaide and is very excited, but played a straight bat throughout the year and the pre-draft.

Josh Money is an absolute flog.

 

[Crouch]

Absolutely stoked we picked up this kid. I was convinced Carlton would pick him up - never been so happy to be wrong.

Can someone fill me in regarding his injury concerns? Something about his back or shin?

 

[ams4crows]

Nice work Jenny, ears to the ground always

 

[Dirty Bird]

Then Draper precedes to "tag" his opponent & get 30 possessions lol.

Great
Just what we need
Our very own Kornes

 

[Golumless]

Whats even more confusing is they drafted a small forward after giving 25 year old Richards 4 years based on 9 games. I would've thought a key forward to replace Dixon/Esava/Marshall might've been a priority. I'm sure Berry is their next instalment of the 'missing piece.

Port could use multiple small forwards. After all, Darcy Byrne-Jones was their second best small...

 

[DaKids]

On a similar note, is Draper still the only SA player picked so far?

Ned Bowman. Swannies continuing a bit of an obsession with boys from St Peter’s

Pars defect

Lower back stress fracture, shouldn't be any issue long term

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Very happy

Bit of a weird pick, but they can afford to take their time with him

That's even worse than the Josh Sinn trade but somehow they'll get no media focus on it.

Tyson Edwards off to Turkey

I mean when you learn from Tredrea.....

 

[Cromulant]

Tyson Edwards off to Turkey

Tailem Bend actually.....

To coach

 

[The Shapeshifter]

You have one or two questions with a draftee and you waste one on asking about if he thought about the Bryce Gibbs Carlton connection.

 

[jenny61_99]

Does anyone else think Draper is a bit of a Michelanny look alike?

 

[The Shapeshifter]

Blonde? Isn’t he a straight up red head?
