SID DRAPER

DOB: 5/7/2006

Height: 182cm

Club: South Adelaide

Position: Midfielder

The South Adelaide midfielder is one of the most explosive players in this year’s draft with top-end speed and agility to match his ball-winning ability.

Draper has put together two very strong seasons which began in 2023 when he captained South Adelaide’s Under-18 team to the premiership, was named MVP of the SA Under-18 team and made the Under-18 All-Australian team as a bottom-age player.

This year the powerful inside midfielder with good stoppage craft proved himself at senior level as well, where he averaged 22 disposals and five clearances in six SANFL games after overcoming some early-season injury woes.

He also averaged 21 disposals a game for SA at the national championships as captain.
