No. It's a way of telling him he probably won't play in the AFL again unless we have a few injuries.

Hope Essendon draft him

I think we all know that Dedja's theory is far more believable.

Yes and no.
Logan is unlucky to be demoted to the rookie list ( still don't understand how a bloke with his experience can be a "rookie", I think it should be called supplementary list or the like ) and I would not be surprised to see him elevated back onto the senior list if we find no suitable selections in the draft. Or if we find ourselves picking 3 kids in the draft, he may be elevated.
dedja, you're excused.
As for Benny Newton, it's an interesting one. Basically by knocking back a contract from Port and entering the draft he has, in effect, made himself a free agent after a handful of games over 3-4 years.
If he'd been up front about a proposed destination we could have been compensated in the trade period, instead we lose a player who adds to our midfield depth and one who is good quality cover for our first picked side.

imo i don't think they should have a rookie list - just expand the list accordingly, but make it so that teams don't have to fill those spots if they don't want to.
maybe cat b rookies could be kept as is, but i think its a bit silly the way the rookie system works now, especially when you can put mature aged guys on there

They do just fine, but they can't buy a home on the beach front so we're supposed to feel for them?
Won't even touch the term slave labour.

Actually underpaid compared to other sports around the world.
