Won’t play, only a rookie

Rookies can play from R1 this year and dont need a long term injury.

Not actually sure why they are still called rookies but whatever

[Brodlach]

Is that right, I didn’t know that. My comment was more so that CEY would be upgraded to fill Smith’s spot before Murphy

The following was in an article from JAY CLARK, Herald Sun

But there will be a major change to the rookie list provisions next season that will allow Category-A rookies to be available for senior selection from Round 1.

Previously Category-A rookies have been forced to wait until a serious injury or other list vacancy to be promoted, but those restrictions will be removed for 2018, giving clubs greater flexibility to promote fringe players.

Wouldn’t call one week a LTI

They still don't know what is wrong and why he hasn't recovered, its more than a rolled ankle.

[MW]

Usually is

[hawks21]

see another dominating performance from JJ

Is Harry Dear a real chance to play rd 1 in front of Jenkins? Played a great first half Dear. I'm a JJ fan but he would want to play well in the last JLT game...

Really liked CEY's game, pressure on Greenwood now.

Hampton got plenty of it but burnt it. Hopefully just getting the preseason rust out.

[Brodlach]

I thought Gibbs burnt the ball a fair bit too

Yeah a bit of first game rust. Still went at a decent disposal efficiency.

Very small ground so players who like space found it difficult and plenty of kick under pressure due to numbers around the ball.

Probably not used of having options ahead that are 50/50 or better.

Really like how Dear goes about it. Doesn’t look out of place at afl level, can definitely see him playing if Tex doesn’t get up

From the little bit I saw on TV I thought Strath oval looked in good condition. Reasonable crowd too. Anyone on here go to the game, be interested to hear what they thought of the ground and facilities. I think the footy club down there has spent a bit of coin on some upgrades.

The new clubrooms have been funded by AFL, state government, council & RSL grants.

Player salary related?

yep, but seems like they basically do all the same work as the normal list but without the rewards.

The rookie list is good for Cat B rookies i think. the other one should just be renamed supplimentary list where you can select anyone that didnt get taken in the national draft

Nasty

Ollie?

[Booney]

You can only sign rookies to one-year deals and keep them for a maximum of 3 years before you have to delist them or elevate them.

It's really only for top ups, as Port have done with Thomas, or opportunity to prove yourself at the higher level, as Adelaide have done with Jarman.
