AFL Player # 2: Sam Draper - Not playing this weekend due to "knee soreness" - 3/5

[Dave]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 20, TheUnicorn

 

[Skipper_]

Needs a spell.

 

[Foxx]

Needs a reality check and go play vfl for a couple of weeks. Close to worse on ground and yet doing those dumb antics after the game. Has been a liability this year.

He was mocking after the game, by mimicking the same action to his team-mates.
It was rubbing it in.

That will come back to bite us.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Took a big mark. Kept them from getting it late.

I wouldn’t say he did well. I spose we can give him a participation award for the mark and then bringing back that mid 2000s trend of planking on the ball at the end

[Call Me Cake]

One of the ruckmen need to make way cos Jones ain't being dropped for Wright, and it's gotta be Draper.

Would be cruel to deny Goldy his chance at a game like Anzac Day, especially after earning it with a decent performance.

Only way I see Draper surviving with any merit is if Goldy thinks he needs a spell.

Anyone know if we can buy this jacket?

Buy a new one. That one will smell

It's taking the piss. The umps might nail us next week now.

 

[naraku]

I hope he is lacking from a difficult/delayed preseason. Most games this year he has been among our worst.

Yeh i didn’t like it at all, especially after he was so poor all game.

Even Nic Martin said in an interview on radio “what the hell was he doing diving on that ball”

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

Absolutely terrible. Having Wright's marking power up for and chopping out in the ruck will be much better than what he's putting up

 

[Frazb]

Needs to get back to basics. Clunking marks, tapping to advantage, kicking the occasional goals. Way too often trying to create a highlight reel. Becomes unpredictable to his teammates. Can't remember a more undisciplined Essendon player. His immaturity drives me crazy

 

[Snake Charmer]

You mother*er. How dare you make me feel old.

Soon as I see the way he lifted his arms I got flash backs to running around as a 13 year old finding s**t to plank on lol

 

[Blind Turn]

I loved it. heck ‘em.

 

[outersanctum]

Worst on again. 4-5 disposals and a whole lotta nothing.

The dumb dumb 50 turned the game and his dumb antics at the end should have lost it.

Guy has no footy smarts and the mocking after siren.. did not like.

 

[katana]

he needs to be The Man in the ruck imo. goldstein is not helping him at all. and two rucks is not a balanced football team.

 

[srobbo]

He’s as dumb as dog s**t & he should’ve been pinged & yet still takes the piss afterwards. The only reason they got back in the game was because the brain dead 50 he conceded. The sooner we get a natural ruckman who can do the basics of the game instead of this galah the better we’ll be.

He is an absolute spud.

 

[srobbo]

not a chance he plays ahead of Goldstein ….ever.

 

[Saddlemanbags]

not drapes best game but he'll probably kick goal of the year next week with wright back, was pretty good at crashing the pack all game as the big forward

 

[sacka]

2 years ago we were saying the same thing we are now about him but others said give him time he's raw, he's a liability around the ground and couldnt to take a contested mark to save his life. How long until potential turns into not good enough?
If he had some smarts about him you could persist but heck me, footy smarts is pretty low on the guys resume.

Would look great under another jacket.

 

[Westlo]

Need to drop him for Wright, Goldy deserves to play Anzac day... rest goldy for the west coast game.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Lol @ the hate

 

[theboxmike]

Even before nearly giving up the game this man drives me crazy at times with his stupid plays.

I will say though he has an incredible natural talent that is hard to replicate. Such a frustrating player, if only he stopped doing the dumb stuff.

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

I love a solid dose of campaigner, but sometimes Drapes crosses the line into full on flog territory.
