2010 Trading and Draft Strategy

[Stamos]

Where in the rules is this stipulated?

I've seen a few posters write the same thing but am yet to see any official confirmation of that.

It would be a really silly rule implemented by the AFL........so therefore it must actually be true

Don't know exactly, I'm pretty sure the rule is you can keep 3 1st year rookies, 1 2nd year, 1 3rd year. Those 4 are 1st year rookies though.

Sounds too ridiculous to be true, to be honest.

What on earth is the point of such restrictions?

If that is in fact the rule, it's just another case of the AFL making rules for the sake of it.

What a joke. Hope it's not true.

Clubs should intentionally draft worse players so as to not break that rule.

I was wrong. Can keep 3 only, but this is not including international rookies.

Thanks for the link.

Not sure I believe it though, as it also says "All clubs can maintain a rookie list of up to six players".

We had 7 in 2010 (Garlett, Ellard, Cachia, White, Donaldson, Casboult, Tuohy).

We are allowed to have an extra rookie because we don't have any Veteran Listed players.

If there are no veterans on the list, there is room for extra rookies.

Except Houlihan should be Veteran listed this year.

 

[Sin City]

Except Houlihan should be Veteran listed this year.

They have to be 30 by the end of the year to be on the veterans list matey.

 

[GordonBlue]

Except Houlihan should be Veteran listed this year.

nope.. turns 29 in January... and Scotto hasn't played 10 years for us... so we'll again have no players on the veterans list

 

[blueblood25]

That is just stupid. I thought it was just 10+ seasons with the club, i didn't know about having to be an old fart at the same time. Unlucky for Hoops.

 

[Mister Carlton]

It was from Josh's mouth, so yes, it's happening.

Thanks for clearing up what i was wondering with Simon

Does he think he will be picked up again? I thought the kid had some raw talent.

 

[blueblood25]

He's nominating for the draft this year but going back home and playing ressies for a couple more years and having another crack could also work out pretty well for him.
