Players from different clubs talk to each other. As I said, it’s an inappropriate comment, but I highly doubt he said it based on media whispers or made it up for clicks. He wasn’t the one who named anyone specific. He’ll no doubt be spoken to by Essendon, but I still think there’s something in it.
Nothing wrong with what Draper said. No Bulldogs, in fact the league, should be upset at what Draper said. The league needs to evolve past players being boring automatons. I will say though that this means players from other clubs are already talking to players from the Bulldogs, trying to pry them from the club. That should 100% send off warning alarms at the club.
There's also the clear conflict of interest which should be managed in journalism (but rarely is in footy media).There are a heap of problems with journalism but a decent journalist would verify their information with multiple sources before going with it.
They would also give the club the chance to respond.
Draper has waded into news breaking here and he's done none of those things because he's a footballer rather than a journalist.
Everyone
it's pretty obvious that Draper is coming to the dogs for the three players
Get it done Sammy
Exactly.There's also the clear conflict of interest which should be managed in journalism (but rarely is in footy media).
And that’s why I have no problem with what he did, he is a footballer and not a journalist. People need to stop being so boring.There are a heap of problems with journalism but a decent journalist would verify their information with multiple sources before going with it.

"Hey mate, its Brad Scott here. You have a Podcast yeah? Listen, can you please talk s**t about the Dogs? We really want Macrae, Daniel, Smith, English and maybe that Jamarra bloke. Our ex list manager Dodoro reckons we can get all of them for a third rounder. Just shake the nest a little for us will ya?"Sounded like more a general comment than him having any inside word. The names thrown out have been thrown out by other media already.
Agree it’s not a great look for a current player to be commenting like that and suspect Essendon will quietly advise him of that too
Bowes was an insanely overpaid plodder, it’s a laughable comparison
They weren't eyebrow raising to most of us but I'm sure those at Essendon would just be telling him to think about the unnecessary media attention this will bring him/the club.Genuine question and not meant in an argumentative way but what would have pushed his comments into the ‘out of line’ category? If they weren’t out of line why would his club be furious at him?

They are for all intensive purposes cooked though, the big games don't mean so much when they are bottom 4. Hopefully we aren't there next to them.I’ve got a feeling Richmond are going to come hard for JUH. Big club, big games, draft capital to make it happen, need a kPF with Riewoldt gone and Lynch on last legs, JUH right age bracket for rebuild, salary cap to burn with baker, lynch and dusty off books. Need a marquee player.
I’m worried.
How is Tim going to get a top 5 pick unless dogs end up near the bottom of the ladder come season end? Dogs likely will finish mid table again.Do we have a guarantee JUH is staying or not. It keeps getting reported it is just the length of the contract but until signs you never though. Tim not worried about providing we get fair compensation in a top 5 or so pick or just as happy if he stays.
Smith is gone.
Trouble with losing to many of likes of Daniel, Macrae and then fringe older players leave, retire of get delisted and the potential retirements of Libba,J ones and ADZ within 2 years we could quickly become a very poor team. At present we are average and we could go either way.
The decisions this year and next are going to be tough in deciding where we sit in the competition.
