By the end of next year there’s a chance Crozier & O’Brien are gone, Duryea & Keath retired, and decisions to be made on Bedendo, Cleary and Jones, and rookies McComb, Scott and McNeil and possibly Roarke upgraded. Plus any trade requests. Looks ok
They should open up a few spots for the end of 2023. I think Power would be pretty comfortable. I guess we watch for DFA activity next week and guess whether we trade into the First Round this year? 3 top picks inside 23 this year (based on the phantom draft posted today) and a hit at say Pick 37 on a Munkara type, with a solid DFA added would be pretty exciting for next year.

When we gave him a 2 year extension did that not move him to the senior list? I always assumed that he must have been elevated at that time. Don't see any good way to confirm who is actually a rookie or not though

Re: Player Contract Status
What even is the point of the rookie list anymore?
Can't they just make it so that players after pick say 60 only get one year contracts and sae us from this dumb reshuffle?
I mean it doesn't seem like they have any less requirements than main listed players, nor any restrictions now that they don't have to be promoted to play, so whats the point?
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Apart from not being able to afford a second house, drink from the top shelf and afford themselves nice kicks it's pretty much the same for them.
The AFLPA should be doing more in this area than anything else. You can't have one type of labour doing the same thing as every other type but being discriminated against due to speculative talent assumptions.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Bigger question than just footy. First round draftees get paid more than late picks. Late pick draftees get paid more than rookie picks. Should that be the case? Same labour, same pay?
Clubs might argue they would speculate and invest in players if not the reduce contract tenure and the reduced financial cost.
Soup’s point is a very good one. The RL doesn’t function as originally intended and many clubs don’t use rookies, but journey ruckman, the exact opposite. In the tiered pay for draftees, making Pick 60+ one year and $85,000 removes the need for a rookie list. While the Cat B list should be left in tact.
The existing structure is still to my understanding:
Picks 1-20 you’re on a base salary of $105,000 a year,
Picks 21-40 you’re on $95,000, and
Picks 41 and up you then go onto $90,000 a year,
Rookies are rookie listed at 85,000 a year.
*Proposed Pick 60+ (no RL) $85,000 on one year*

No, you can contract rookies for multiple years. Sweet and Scott also signed 2 year contracts last year.

What's the limit now? I feel like it used to be 2 once upon a time but since we have to elevate Sweet and Buku it must be higher

A third year with consent. But an extra year was added for COVID For them.

Re: Player Contract Status
Duryea remains in red, white and blue
Veteran defender Taylor Duryea has signed a one-year contract extension to remain in the red, white and blue until at least the end of 2023.
The dual premiership player will extend into an 11th AFL season, taken as the 69th pick in the 2009 National Draft, before moving to the Kennel from Hawthorn in 2019.
Duryea played 12 games across the 2022 season after suffering a knee injury in Round 12, crossing into the Club’s leadership group at the beginning of the season.
The 31-year-old averaged 13 touches and six marks per game, playing a pivotal role on the competition’s best small forwards.
Bulldogs General Manager – List & Recruiting, Sam Power was pleased to have the experience and leadership of Taylor for another season at the Bulldogs.
“We’re really pleased to have Taylor sign on for at least another season.” Power said.
“Taylor’s leadership from the moment he stepped in the building has been an asset to our club, both on and off field.
“His selfless actions on the football field epitomise the person that Taylor is, playing a variety of roles across the backline during his time at the Bulldogs.”
Duryea’s signing comes off the back of a successful trade period for the Bulldogs, acquiring key defender Liam Jones and forward Rory Lobb.

The social media team would be desperate for any sort of content to fill the dead zone between trade week and the draft. Luckily most people probably didn't listen to her speech.
