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

In that case, that does seem to be, ah, … stretching the truth? I mean, I don’t have the hit outs to advantage stats, but from the VFL site it has Draper with 22 hit outs. Maric had 31 and Soldo 14 (McKernan had 8). For pure numbers we were well beaten, getting 39% of the hit outs. And Draper was in the ruck 95% of the time. I was watching those contests a bit given the talk and I didn’t really see a huge amount hit to advantage. He had 8 disposals and no marks.
