I’d like to think Ollie takes the reigns next year. But that is a very good call, he’s an absolute General on the field

Plays a bit like hugh Greenwood which isn't an insult, I like Greenwood. But drew is a lot younger with more upside
Drew is just as smart when he doesn't have the ball as he is with it. His tackles count, he never over commits, and he knows exactly the time to release an opponent so as not to give away a free kick. Just look at the tackle he laid on Pendles last night. Pendles took no further part but there was never any thought Drew was even close to giving away a free kick, which would have been the case had he held on too long.

I remember watching his TAC Cup highlights in the months leading up to the draft and thinking (and possibly saying) how unbelievably quick and clean his hands were in tight.
Still very much his stand out attribute I'd say, but the rest of his game is starting to rise to the same level. Will be in AA conversations when his ball-finding ability gets to the point that he consistently picks up 25+ touches.
Love him and so glad that he seems to be over his injury problems.

I'd be more than happy if he spent his career at 2020 Hugh Greenwood standard, Hugh was great for the SUNS last year.

It could just be the red hair, but this guy is everything we hoped Andrew Moore would be.
CD, give the lad a contract extension asap.
This is perfect.
Drew is doing a great job, a smart player with good hands and is a tackling machine, his kicking could be better but over all I am so pleased that he has kept his spot, He seems to be improving with every game.

Tough as old boot leather, disciplined, really quick hands in tight and good to see him finding the ball. If he adds being a marking target forward at his height, would make him even more valuable.
Willem "slenderman" Drew?

Omgosh I’m stoked for Willem! Has improved so much this year, i hope the trend continues upwards!
Also seeing Dan Houston in the votes brings joy to my heart.

From memory Knightmare had a crush on him in his draft year and had him in his top 10.

#Malcom and Wilds must've thought they were talking to a Crows out of towner when they grilled him about that. Great answer, Drew.
the awesome thing about "big willy" is that even if he doesn't get a lot of the ball he adds so much defensively that he's still a good asset to the team.
no one likes to see players get injured but that run down tackle on pendlebury was a thing of beauty. perfectly executed tackle just unfortunate that pendles tweaked something out of it
