    We don't want Buku as a Category B do we ? Cat B can't play seniors, or am I wrong

    Nothing to really do with want, not that I expect him to leapfrog all our defenders next year. I read the rules to say he's a Cat A. If my reading is correct, he's a Cat A. We passed our final selection, so that would indicate Khamis was used there in the rookie draft proper. So again, likely a Cat A. Which is still daylight robbery. ESPN/Doerre, Fox and others had Khamis going pick 40'ish in the National Draft. He went for Pick 40, in the Rookie Draft!

    Yep!

    I think we've made out like bandits over the past 24 hours. Sam Power has set high expectations from here on out.

    Pretty sure category B rookies can play seniors (eg Hugh Greenwood and Alex Keath from the Crows in 2017), but they have to be promoted (usually for a long term injured player).

    I would be shocked if he played senior football next season anyway.

    I respect you for putting a high price on your wine, dancing, rookie and BT's reckoning.

    Khamis can play AFL pre season games and obviously in VFL but would need to be upgraded to play AFL senior games

    That would only be if he's category B and it's looking like he's category A .

    I hope that is right, just saw something saying it is Cat B.

    Thanks to everyone on this thread who provided links to news and especially to those capable of articulating the nuances of the draft fine print.
    Much appreciated!
    We've landed some rippers, really exciting stuff for the next few years ahead. Sam Power and Co. have set a high standard to live up to.
    Can't wait to get to next season!

    Something doesn't add up then - we only have 3 category A rookies? Or one of Gowers or Lynch is still on the rookie list? I'm confused.

    At least now if I type something stupid I can blame technical issues.
