Former #2 Big Sammy Draper

I think it’s around 50k per year more plus a guaranteed extra year.

No, not possible.

My memory is that the wording is very, ahem, fuzzy, on this point in the rules.

No. I think there’s probably paperwork he’s lodged.

He would have been up meeting with Fages and probably Lachie Neale.

Maybe some of their players lining up next weekend if they didn’t think it was a distraction.

After watching the games on the weekend, I think Adelaide are the ones that need him more than Brisbane.

Strongly agree. I said as much in the finals thread. Meek monstered ROB.

Yes agree, let’s hope there is a contract bidding war for Sam

Plus they need a replacement bigger than life character bogan for Tex, this time hopefully sans the deeply ingrained racist carnt trait.

They need him more but they won’t offer more. They have far bigger priorities than a ruckman and that’s where they will look to splash cash. If he ends up going to Adelaide it would almost definitely be band 2 compo

All the talk suggests The big Racist is going around again

Fogarty not quite the like for like they were hoping going by his finals performance. Tex still looks likelier.

Their one paced poorly skilled midfield is their biggest weakness. Fix that and the rest will fall into place. Fogarty was pretty poor in the finals but their forward entries in the finals looked a lot like ours.

They should be throwing everything at Merrett he is exactly what they need Adelaide. They lack midfield class and depth.

They also lack good picks to trade to us.

Very few clubs that Draper would actually be a priority. We’re just fortunate that there’s at least one other

Plus the Crows make the Hawks seem like good blokes in comparison when it comes to trading. Widely regarded as Prix to deal with

Oh he’s a number 1 ruck available as a free agent. So should have had a little interest. Plus StKilda went all in on TDK which would have blown a lot of clubs out of the picture for him.

Thats attractive - all of the other talent possibly doing the rounds worth getting would cost something in a trade.

The amount of times the crows mids were out and kicked the ball 3 feet over the hands of the leading player was incredible. They missed so many chances to have simple shots on goal.

Or against the Pies the Crows mids kept kicking to Moore. He must of thought it felt like every ANZAC Day :rofl:
