Big Sammy Draper - #1 ruckman now #2 (Part 1)

[Ants]

I actually thought he did ok, … and the Coach & others thought so too it seems.

Round 6.5 (don’t ask) Essendon v Tenthmond @ Punt Road Oval, 4pm Saturday 27 May 2017

Essendon rookie listed player Sam Draper was dominant in the ruck. The 203cm 18 year old controlled majority of the hit outs against the Tigers.
“He’s developing really quickly, he’s a long term prospect for us, having not played much footy,” Corrigan said.
“His last two weeks have been super, to the extent where he is sort of taking on the number one ruckman and acquitting himself really well.
“It’s really pleasing to see. He obviously still has a lot to learn but always gives a really honest effort.”

H-S has Boyse, Howlett, Gleeson, Francis, Draper, McNiece as our best.

But is that against expectations for him, or on actual output?
