I think you think his choice was performative?
So you havenāt got it 
I think one of us hasnāt āgotten itā.
Iām not convinced thatās me though.

Ran around like a headless chook, but he was way better than Bryan who should get dropped.
Took one farking mark all day.

I have no issue with drapers technique if that is what he is doing at training and that is what the coaches are training him to do and if it continues to get results.
It any of that isnāt accurate, or changes, then thereās a breakdown of something somewhere along the way.
Theyāve taken the same amount of marks for the year.

Iām starting to think someone in here doesnāt understand the term āattention seekingā

This is such a bad take, last year we missed these easy goals, Stringer and Langford both missed goals in important games from less than 20m out. If Draper has developed a reliable set shot, good on him thatās a win.

The brother of our gun backman did a similar thing when he gad the yips. Then went back to a more ānormalā routine and became more reliable.
Maybe Sam will do the same.
Farkarlton.
I want to make it clear that I donāt like the side on approach, either. Not for any rational reason, it just feels wrong, even if I can concede that thereās probably a lot less that can go wrong with that method.
However, if thatās the approach heās decided to take then it makes sense that he would do it every time. Itās what body memory and habit and process is about.
And I would point out that Lloyd used to do the grass thing at Marvel with the roof closed, and nobody called that attention-seeking.

45 goals? fkn hell
Hey, heās on target. You never know
How stupid are the old footy player commentators and fans that complain about players snapping. I swear, some of these idiots would prefer the player miss with a traditional drop punt, than kick a goal around the body.
Also i noticed any time a player misses with this latter technique everybody has a meltdown, despite the fact we regularly see misses from the same spot from a drop punt anyway.
Itās like they take it as a personal insult to the tradition of the game. I loved his snaps, itās the best heās kicked for goal just about ever.

Trade Draper and weāll have the lowest average age and lower average body mass than an U12ās side. JFC he kicks goals, rucks well, shows agro, isnāt f*cking scared of contact and you want to trade him?
Iād rather 5-6 years of quality football.
