Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
What is more important, getting Tex to 300 or Draper to 50?

Our idea of the reserves changes depending on who is performing there.
Dowling/Edwards perform well? SANFL form means nothing. They're not ready for AFL. AFL is a different beast and it's not as simple as the player in best form gets picked.
Smith/Murphy perform well? Can't ignore SANFL form. Experience is everything. They're playing the best footy and deserve to be rewarded.
Niche reference perhaps but our SANFL side is like Jareth's oubliette from Labyrinth. "It's a place to put people to forget about them."

If we drop/manage/rest Tex throughout the remainder of the season and subsequently misses the milestone, he's almost guaranteed to get another contract to get to the 300th next year.
Considering it doesn't appear to be an option that Tex doesn't hit the 300 (barring unexpected injury), would we sacrifice a 2026 contract to crawl him there this year?
It's stupid that I even have to suggest that but this is the situation we're in

You don't think Darren Burgess has a plan?

Why is it an either or question? If fit, why can't both play? Draper doesn't come in for Tex.
The Murphler is durable. He can play another 20 years and get to 400.

Because we were having this very discussion about Tex when he was Draper's age with Craig constantly dropping him.
Had that not happened, he'd already be there.
It's a decades-long, multiple coaching group argument that goes to the very core of this football club and clearly this thread isn't about "Why aren't we playing Sid Draper at the expense of Tex"
How many times does Tex have to credit Craig for his development before you guys let it go? He'll talk about it again when he gets interviewed for his 300th!!!
Looks to me like they don;t know where to play Sid. Like Curtin last year. It's too late in the year to throw him into the guts.
