Criticism

In April 2024, Sam Draper made a comment on the future of Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge saying “I’ve got a big call about the Doggies. If Bevo’s still there, there’ll be some players requesting trades," before affirming names - including Jack Macrae, Bailey Smith, Caleb Daniel and Bailey Dale - suggested by his co-hosts. [3]  

Speaking on the comments made by Draper, Beveridge said "We are breaking ground all the time, aren't we? It was bizarre to me. I'm not going to say anything about it really because I think the people that became aware of it and are close to him and their football club were extremely alarmed and reached out to me and expressed their apologies. This is normally one where I’m sure that he has had a think about it and maybe he wouldn’t do it again, I’m not sure". [4]

When Draper's coach Brad Scott was asked about the comments, he replied “He’s very, very clear how disappointed I was. He thought he was in an environment where he thought he was being funny. I said ‘mate, it’s the furthest thing from funny. It’s disrespectful’.” [5]

Following the incident, Caroline Wilson reported on Nine Network's Footy Classified that "Sam Draper wanted to keep doing the podcast, Essendon didn't. His management Michael Doughty intervened and said he can have a four-week spell,". [6] Draper eventually returned to the podcast after two weeks, denying Wilson's claims that the club wanted him to stop the podcast. [7] [8]
