For a team looking to climb the mountain again I can see the value his energy and personality would bring to the playing group.

When Iā€™ve watched him this year he played like he did last year. Which was good.

Done what had to be done.

8850

But did he transform the warmer climate? Tradies seems to be cheaper up here.

Yesterdayā€™s performance is not one heā€™ll want to be remembered for! Looked like a rabbit in the headlights!! :roll_eyes::grimacing:

Many a player has been ordinary in their first finals performance.

8853

so he had no excuses then, considering it was his second

Draper has played well on Grundy in past encounters.

Very meek performance from Drapes yesterday.

Grundy won the early duel easily.

Iā€™d reckon Fagan will give him a serious rocket this week.

Heā€™s going to be a handful for McAndrew. And I donā€™t think the Crows can bring in Oā€™Brien as well with their three tall forwards.

Crows are screwed against Brisbane , thought they were lucky lto beat dogs last night.

8857

The better team won. The Puppies are seriously overrated.

Mac Andrew will beat Draper, too.

Sam Darcy away from winning that game.

No real back-up for Darcy = seriously overratedā€¦

To be fair, how can you have a back up for a player like that ?

If Libba or Kennedy are available, they may have been able to play Bont more in the forwardline.

They should probably go after Calsher Dear.

If he does then it will go a long way to the Crows winning the game. I canā€™t see it, though. In the taps or around the ground. McAndrew is solid but I worry that Draper will make him look very silly.

8862

Maybe. And maybe Mac Andrew will make Draper look very silly. Theyā€™re about the same height, but Draper is quite a bit heavier, Draper is mobile enough, but the Sudanese Egyptian is actually a lot more mobile. Weā€™ll know soon enough, I suppose. I really rate Andrew - heā€™s only 22 and Iā€™d love to get him to Essendon.

Fukk - youā€™re right - Iā€™m mixing up Mac Andrew from Gold Coast with Lachlan McAndrew from Adelaide !!

Apologies to all - ignore my last post ! @wimmera1
I donā€™t reckon the Adelaide McAndrew has a prayer against Draper, but Andrew from Gold Coast would beat him.

I think we should ignore this part.
Andrew from GC would not get anywhere near Draper, overhyped hot garbage he is.

8866

I disagree. Whoever gave Draper the #2 knew what he was talking about.
