Re: Guy O'Keefe

Wasn't there some talk that the AFL had relaxed that rule allowing for rookies to be maintained on the list for 3 years?

The Commission is to consider this submission at their next meeting to be held next week. So at this stage it's on the table awaiting a decision next week.

I thought that wasn't going to come in until next year?

Can I just say that this is ridiculous. How can the AFL leave such an important decision in terms of list management and players career's to a week before the list lodgement deadline?

Whether or not we can keep a promising rookie on for another year or not has massive ramifications. Say we had a very promising rookie coming into his 3rd year, and we wished to keep him on the rookie list for this 3rd year if the motion was passed, the result of the proposal being rejected would be that we would have to de-list another player who having made it this far would already be preparing for next season.

Re: Guy O'Keefe

Remember reading about it a few weeks back and it read as though it was being considered for this year's Rookie draft. It was all wrapped around considerations pre the arrival of GC17 and then West Sydney. I believe the Commission meet on the 19th Oct.

West Coast are in a predicament due to this exact situation at the moment. They currently have a few 2nd year rookie players on the list pending a possible 3rd year. I believe they have already stated Nicoski and McNamara both potentially will have serious ramifications depending on this ruling.

Re: Guy O'Keefe

Not sure I agree with that. I've seen him right at the back of runs in training sessions. He is more of a burst player though.

Behind O'Keefe?

Re: Guy O'Keefe

And someone has to be at the back of the pack. It's a statistical certainty. They would all still be fitter-than-average!

Yes usually the ruckman

Behind O'Keefe?

About the same, perhaps a few metres in front but right to the back of the field.

I would have thought a midfielder would need to be well in front of goal sneak. Either way both are/were on shaky ground but I understand why O'Keefe went first.

No 1 didn't apply to GOK.

Thats right. It really isn't a complex thing and as G said a fair few harsh lessons were handed out this week.
