Rookie can extend 1 year rookie contract without upgrade and play.

If he was only offered 1 yr rookie deal, sure he can go for 2, but it has to be offered to him....
I since edited my post to say that Dew said he had a contract extension.
Menzel is an interesting one. Absolutely knows where the goals are and if he could hang in for a full season would be one of the best small forwards in the league in terms of goals. However the defensive side of his is not nearly good enough. Whether that’s because of effort, waiting for others to do it so he can get the glory of a goal, or he’s concerned about his knee/s during contact, but it’s been questioned for years now without anything changing. Would take him though as he can kick a goal and we need as many of that type as we can on our list.
Murdoch on the other hand, pass. I remember I think it was last year (maybe 2 years ago) when we played the cats up here and he was a late in I remember thinking he is the worst player I have ever seen live. And that’s saying something considering some of the players we’ve had to sit through over the years. Obviously only one game, but not a huge fan unless it’s as a rookie maybe.
I honestly don't think Menzel would fit in with Dew's game plan, plus list spots are at a premium, and I believe Murdoch is a one way runner, although has speed, and we just got rid of Hall, so it's a NO from me on both Menzel and Murdoch.

Not buying Menzel , people keep talking about him scoring goal , if he can't score with Dangerfield and Selwood playing in midfield he got a big problem .He is Matera type score goal but will allow opposition HB rebound as quick as well with his defensive effort .

Looks more loyal.
If we didn't pick up Corbett I could have seen us using Menzel. He is a huge talent but his body is held together by tape. He knows how to find the big sticks when he has the ball in hand.
Don't want Menzel at all... I remember watching a Geelong game and he was running into goal 55m out and had the Captain by himself 25m out with no one within 30m of him and he has a massive shot for goal and misses... Selwood went ballistic at him....If he burns the captain like that, he is no team player..

If Holman didn't earn an extension last year nobody did. Would be a huge same not to see him in Sun's colours next year.
Holman could still be on a rookie list so we should be able to draft 5 and still have 2 rookies spots available for Koenen and Graham.
Suns allowed 40 senior + 6 A rookies + 3 B rookies = 49 players
I believe after trade we got 42 players. 35 senior, 5 A rookies (Holman, Rischitelli, Collins, Burgess, Corbet), 2 B rookies (Heron, Dawson).

If Collins , Burgess , Corbett can be place on Rookie A are true , does that mean Geelong Krueger and Adelaide McAdam can be place on their rookie list too . Big advantage for them .

No because they were traded

Thanks , AFL doing a pretty bad job there not clarified properly. How hard for them to said if not traded can be on Rookie list .
After watching McLennans tomorrow’s heroes he seems exactly like the type of player we need now that May is gone. Strong intercepting, rebounding defender. That plus interest in coming up makes me think we should package up 24 and 29 to someone like Richmond to guarantee we get him

We spend enough on rehab and our injury list already. Menzel doesn't represent enough potential reward to be worth the risk for my mind

One of Koenen and Graham will get a bid by another club in the 2nd part of the draft. The second academy position may come down to McDonald, Gilmore, Simmington, Conroy or Foster

I am happy to let them go to other club , KPP normally take more than 2 years to develop , might be available for free as DFA afte two years eg Kiera Collins , Hugh Goddard etc.
If he's there at 29 have a look but don't anticipate we will need to reach that high to get him.

The AFL Commission found 3 main factors that the Suns had to improve: player development, injury management and investing in the Academy. The action they recommended was that the Suns be given the 3 State Level selections outside of the Draft and 2 extra Rookie List spots. The reasoning behind this was to ensure the Suns could bring in big-bodied mature players without sacrificing the Academy program. Do not be surprised if the final Senior spot, the 6th Cat A spot and the 3rd Cat B spot all go to rookies.
There are already plenty of prove-it players and you could just about lob Connor Nutting and Wil Powell in with this year's Draft crop in terms of development. More mature-aged players at this stage doesn't make sense, especially not in the draft where we should be going for talent that we can develop instead of a washout who's had a good year in the State LEagues.
