Rookie List Strategy 2018

Re: Rookie List Strategy 2018

It's a good opportunity to get those ones we are interested in down to the club for the preseason to have a really close look at before making any rushed decision. That is if it is allowed by the AEFL. We can see who is a good trainer and who fits the no dickhead policy, etc.

Sydney Stack is training at Richmond, so yes we have that option.

Re: Rookie List Strategy 2018

We may be waiting a while to get any kind of answer. Amazingly the SSP period goes from December 1st to March 15th!

So theoretically, we could pick someone on the 15th and play them 8 days later. I find this whole SSP thing a bit bananas.

Its closer to the old days, where guys almost sneak onto lists, with little fanfare

All I know is its intriguing to see what we do with that spot

If we can avoid a mid season delisting like with that ruckman I already forgot the name of then it's not a horrible idea

Re: Rookie List Strategy 2018

Just looking at the Bulldog's twitter account and they had a bit of a contest to identify a player, whose head was hidden by a football - turned out it was R West. I couldn't, however, work out who the tackler was - is he possibly someone training with us in a bid for this final rookie spot(?)

Guys. I am at the Social club XMAS function ATM. Had a chance to speak briefly to Sam Power and shook hand with him. I congratulate him for a job well done with the trade and draft.

He confirmed there is no more spot available on our list and said it was mis-reported in the media.

He also said if Wingard have chosen us then it was only for a future pick and we were comfortable keeping pick 7 going into a strong draft.

Thanks Choc.

Rules and reporting on the fly. No wonder everyone is confused. Glad Sam knows what's going on...

Then clearly Hawthorn thought we were in a bidding war... And we weren't. Pick 15 & a young KPP vs 2019 Future 1st. Port owe us a good bottle of scotch or ten.

I’m more confused than ever! Does that mean Buku is category A?

You or BT or Jazzadog should have been there poking questions at Sam as I didn't have the nous to question him about that

He was standing a couple of metres away from me for quite a while and I never even thought about asking him as I assumed the media reports were correct about us having 1 more rookie spot.
