#2 Big Sammy Draper (from May 2024)

It’s the least worst outcome but it’s not a good one.

Pick 7 is a ■■■■ shoot.

Pick 7 is overs for Draper. But pick 7 in this draft isn’t that good

next to thiccboi fogarty

If that midweek tackle rumour of Vigo debuting this weekend, means we have another genuine replacement for Draper

Practicing for next year when we boo him as he sinks his fifth with a snap around the corner from the goal square to put the crows up by 80 points

Crows have Darren Burgess

He will get Draper super fit and play every game for the Crows and cementing himself as one of the best rucks in the league

Will be another Joe Daniher steak through the heart

Drapes clearly loves the dons though.

Blind Freddy could see Joe was well over Essendon and living in Melbourne for a long time.

I think it’s just really tough decision. Adelaide are very good, right in the window and might offer a big contract

My concern is the compo.

Word is the arbitray, fuzzy bar on R1 compo is about 900k (and that feels right). ADL (or anyone) won’t have to satisfy us, just Drapes.

So if we offer say 5 x 750 or 800 I could see them offering him 7 x 800-850 and not hitting it.

I’d almost value the “interest” of watching him walk and we hit the draft with 7, 8 and 10 (say) but to get 7, 10 and then 26 (before pick sliding) would be fkn ■■■■ value for Drapes.

He also fifty fifty over his career so until you see it over a full year it might be a bit early to say it’s changed after 5 games

It would have to be burnt to a crisp. Even then I can’t see a steak penetrating the rib cage.
Maybe the bone of a t-bone when sharpened appropriately?
