I agree. And the Swans midfield is weak as ■■■■ at the moment so if Draper is having a bad first game we should still be able to clean it up. That’s definitely not a risk i would take against the Cats midfield though.
they can’t, this whole club now is based on spin and perception rather than just honesty like Little proclaimed we would get after the saga.
Managed means they don’t have to admit they got anything wrong with putting him in the leadership group.
it also means they don’t have to drop him to the reserves and make him play there til he “finds form”.
they can just wait til next week when less people will be agitated with him playing, and bring him straight back in.
optics is all it is, yet most can see through it now.
