PROFILE
A classy mid/medium forward with aerial ability, speed and agility - can turn an opponent inside out. Wins the bulk of his possessions on the inside and is a classy ball user by hand and foot.
Draper’s natural agility and stoppage smarts are among his most appealing traits. At Under 18s level with South Adelaide, Draper was the side’s number one clearance player, with his positioning and ability to read the taps particularly noticeable.
Although his midfield craft is appealing, his versatility has seen him spend time in all thirds of the ground.
