Cam Rayner anticipates a composed performance from teammate Sam Draper as the Brisbane Lions confront Essendon at Marvel Stadium. Draper encounters his former club for the first time since joining the reigning back-to-back premiers as an unrestricted free agent during the off-season.

Draper’s Level-Headed Approach

Rayner compares Draper to Joey Daniher, noting his steady demeanor. “He’s very similar to Joey, very level-headed,” Rayner stated.
