Sid Draper - Under-18 Trial Match (SA vs NSW)

After a pre-season injury sidelined him for the first couple of months of the 2024 season, Sid Draper finally made his much awaited return over the weekend in a trial match for the SA Under-18 team against a combined Swans and Giants Academy squad. Drapers minutes were significantly limited here, playing only parts of the first two quarters, but he showed enough to get draft watchers excited for what he might produce when the Champs kick off in a couple of weeks.

I really enjoy watching these style of players. Balance, poise, skill, smarts. Old school.

I think you hit the nail on the head. So much to like in his game and he's super professional and driven. He's been out of sight and out of mind, but I don't think it'll take long for him to be firmly back in the very top group of prospects.
I still think its Smillie, O'Sullivan and Draper as top 3.
