#2 Big Sammy Draper (from May 2024)

Not his biggest fan but we need this bloke asap

Dear Sammy, Blitz have decided that although many seen to think you are not committed/ a party boy/clown/canā€™t mark/canā€™t kick/etc. etcā€¦we want you backā€¦please!! Because we have gone off Goldy (too old, too crap, played for Northā€¦whaddaya expect), Bryan we were certain he was the answerā€¦but heā€™s had one game and now heā€™s crap, was never going to make it because he was picked by Dodoro, coached by Brad who never plays young players; but was crap when he got a game. Please come back, we need you, we love you, we will not disparage you for at least the first bounceā€¦after which weā€™ll be coming for you unless we are coming for Jones/Perkins/Cox/Heppel/Kelly/Laverde/Davey/Wright et al., in which case youā€™ll have to queue up for abuse

P.S. Please change everything about your personality. Weā€™ve decided we donā€™t like it.

l was going to say you have perfectly summed up the duplicity of many here on BBlitz, but due to the multi dimensional nature of the personalities involved, l am going to call it multiplicity instead.

From @CJohns on twitter, Draper reckons if he can get through training tomorrow heā€™s a chance to play - only thing he hasnā€™t done in his recovery is train with the main group supposedly

Remember when we rushed him back in last time?

as much as we could probably do with him crashing into TDK this week, i think it would be highly irresponsible to rush him back when we have a bye around the corner

the club should look to returning draper, redman, hobbs and duursma for the eagles game, with baldwin in the vfl as well

I know itā€™s risky but thatā€™d also result in a 3 week break for Goldy which would be pretty good for the old man, theyā€™d be able to manage Draper pretty effectively out of the goalsquare and he brings an element of chaos to the fwd line

Doesnā€™t Draper say this every week?

This.

Use the bye week, take the (likely) hit this round and give ourselves a better chance of having a strong post-bye period.

Our players get injured when weā€™re supposedly being conservative, may as well just let it rip and bring him back. What could possibly go wrong.

Would be hilarious if it wasnā€™t so sadly true

Yep!

We need this big bastard to actually play up to heā€™s pay packet otherwise pack him up and send him somewhere else I donā€™t care who for id take Reilly Obrien from the crows

I think draper in helps 2MP, especially if we are playing two rucks. And heā€™d need to lift, because if we arenā€™t marking it then playing 2x rucks plus an ineffective FF is a recipe for C2C goals

ROB is awful, thereā€™s a reason heā€™s not playing currently

Draper was 2 years old the last time we had anybody even eligible for the norm smith.

Thatā€™s kinda the point, is that Draper needs to start preforming or Iā€™d take anybody else
