Certainly makes it possible.The new rookie rule is now official from this year:
Clubs will be able to retain rookies for up to a maximum of 5 years, up from the current 3 years. This is to help give clubs more time to develop key position and taller talents as well as players from different backgrounds. Stipulations will mean the player cannot have played more than 10 games at the end of his fourth or fifth season to retain rookie status.
May give Stretch a lifeline for an extra year?
No way in hell will Ladhams and Francis be on the list next year.
For another club?Ladhams should only ever play as a solo ruck
If they can't trade him, they should de-list him and pay out the last year of his contract.Luckily ladhams is contracted for next year
Yes, this, 100% agreeCan we all just draw a line in the sand on Francis? He is not up to standard, even as depth. I understand a few (including Horse) rates him above our other KPDs but he is off contract so please don't renew him. Hamling aside, Edwards, Snell and Arnold need opportunities to prove themselves and surely could not be worse than what Francis consistently is. Re. Hamling, yes he had played forward this year (largely because we've lacked a target in the VFL) but he's looked mobile, fit and in ripping shape, which is more than can be said for Francis.
He was the next best defender in line. He deserved that chance.Can we all just draw a line in the sand on Francis? He is not up to standard, even as depth.

I was commenting specifically on Ladhams' recent form, which culminated in last night.What a load of crap
The problem has been festering for a couple of months now and that’s not on Ladhams
Yes midfield is the root of the problem. But seriously, Francis is no good. There is no more improvement left in him. Better to get games and experience into our younger guys, unless we think they're no good either..........He was the next best defender in line. He deserved that chance.
Not up to standard? That's another story. We got him to the club as backup. Last night he was backup.
Not the reason we lost by 112 points.
Midfield, midfield, midfield, midfield........................problems, problems, problems.

Oh, he was just one contributing factor to the whole debacle.Sorry load of crap was a bit harsh, my point was that the overall debacle can’t be put on him

Finally joining the red corner. Sometimes it doesn't matter if they are an experienced backup if they can only give 4/10 performances. Would much rather a rookie that can give some 2/10s but also some 7-8/10sYes, this, 100% agree
I'm surprised Khamis is still OOC - if there's a chance, 100% we shouldThrow the absolute kitchen sink at Buku Khamis and Jack Steele.
His agent has probably done his job properly and made him hold out to increase his value.I'm surprised Khamis is still OOC - if there's a chance, 100% we should
Buku at 191cm will be perfect third tall, Rampe replacement.I'm surprised Khamis is still OOC - if there's a chance, 100% we should
Florent not going anywhere just signed for 5 . Oops it is AugustI'd go after Ben Miller from Richmond to stiffen up our backline, would slot in nice for us. Give them Florent and a late draft pick if we have too.
198cm and 96kgs
I'd also enquire about Noah Cumberland also. Is an upgrade on wicks
