I wonder if giving Sid the 9 is just adding the pressure on ?? Sloaney could've already offered it to Muzz too, he's been retired for a while.
I wonder if Sid's favourite players number was already taken..... by his favourite player ??

Caring about numbers is weird.
Sloppy skills all round in that footage. Soooo many missed handballs and fumbles.
Draper?

It looks like Drapers skills couldnt keep up with his speed.

It’s the players decision not the club’s

It is?
Everyone. Including Draper.
Will hold him in good stead at AFL level. Just have this feeling about Draper, going to be a special player if he can address his flaws which have been overblown.

Players ask to be given certain numbers, and existing players get first dibs before new recruits.
Trade ins probably go before draftees too.
We may have made an exception for Welsh.
Murray asked for 9 , so he gets it before Draper

That clip does nothing to alleviate the concerns that he lacks poise and handballs to players in worst positions.

Pretty sure the club has mentioned it before, I thought it was common knowledge on here.
What’s the alternative, the club forced Murray to switch numbers?

I think every club would treat player numbers with little thought and most would use them as a fringe benefit for established players to switch excluding perhaps some numbers that fall into certain categories, f/s numbers, #1 in Ports case for captain and numbers of recent retired ex champions. Its whatever is available frankly. Walker only has a year left, Draper may swap into Walkers old number. Who knows!
Can't believe this guy fell into your lap, he's exactly what you need, looking forward to watching him next year

Really lucky. But man, the comp just got an injection of several elite players. will be great to watch for the next decade.
Lol
But seriously, he definitely looks like the most physically matured there. Very toned but still has some size to put on.
Lalor is huge! Going to need a couple of preseason a to shed the puppy fat
Crows got what everyone was screaming for - pace pace pace. He needs to develop some composure to go with it.
I still think .Langford the better player - much more the architect and big metres gained boy.
Sid a good player though just different types
