The AFL Draft Booklet contains a lot of useful information about the draft & list lodgement mechanics.
Here are some key/interesting points:
Here are some key/interesting points:
- Delisted players have until Wed 13th Nov to nominate for the draft - they can nominate for either the ND/PSD/RD or just PSD/RD. The only List Lodgement date before this is on Oct 31st, so it's safe to assume that this is when the delistings will be announced for players we're moving to the rookie list.
- The games threshold applies to 4th & 5th years for rookies (it was previously unclear if it applied to the 4th, or just the 5th). Turray is the only Cat A rookie on our list who is below the games threshold.
- A club may apply to the AFL to transfer a player or players from its Rookie List on to its Primary List on the day when its Primary List is lodged with the AFL prior to the Telstra AFL Draft, or under the Long-Term Injury Rule or at any time between the Telstra AFL Draft and the day when its Primary List is lodged with the AFL prior to the Telstra AFL Pre Season Draft if an uncontracted listed player was deleted from that club’s list
