AFL: Levi Ashcroft joins the Fox Footy podcast ahead of the national draft, as the hype continues to build around the young midfield star
There are a plethora of contenders to be pick one in this year’s national draft — and Sid Draper is one of them.
“One thing I implemented into my weekly routine during games was weekly resets; sort of like that mantra of not looking too far ahead processing the week before,” Draper revealed. “Fortunately, it did happen, but yeah - I just like to work hard for things. I like to be driven and work hard.” “You want to start being professional as early as you can, because you’re going into that industry where everyone’s professional.
Draper finished the season averaging a tick over 22 disposals and six tackles a game, doing more than prove his capacity to compete at a senior level. “Really maximising your time while you’re there, using every resource that’s there, and yeah, maximising your input when you’re at a club. “My eldest brother went to football, and then Arlo followed it. Arlo played soccer with me as well, and they moved over , and so did I. Ever since I picked up a football, I thought: ‘I love this. This is the game for me.’
“This year I’ve been watching it to learn more. Previously, it’s just been for enjoyment, but now you’re trying to get an edge as much as you can,” Draper explained. Given the Crows currently hold Pick 4 in the national draft, there’s every chance he joins both his favourite club, and also his favourite players.
