The AFL is becoming poorer and poorer at publishing these more specific off season dates. In the past you could list Irish rookies until some time in December but finding out what date that is in 2024 is borderline impossible. Unless you want to know when the National Draft is or trade period dates you’re almost relying on some random journo randomly spilling the beans.
Having said that there seems to be no reason to wait other than we’re not listing an Irish rookie at all.
It’s a bit disappointing as the last three years our picks (bar maybe Reid) have been speculative at best. It’s more important than normal to find extra players in a slightly unconventional way. Apart from bringing in Jackson and Bolton and a first round pick, Draper is the only player that’s shown enough so far to genuinely have me convinced he’ll be a long term AFL player. It’s early days so I’m sure one or two others will make it but it’s a little concerning.

If we can be dominant enough in general stoppage clearances but not quite so dominant that the opposition just expect it and cover everyone, then we could sit Walters off the contest purely to hit the pass for a mark forward or on the forty-five.
He won't make space for himself by outrunning his opponent or outmuscle them but maybe we can use his most potent weapon in his kick to drag a defender out to man him up.

I like this. Use his strengths and don't expose his weaknesses.
He's the new Dyson Heppell
A question - can a player be a RFA after they have been on the list for 8 years?
Eg - Weitering was a UFA next year as he was OOC and 10 years on the list. Same thing for Bontempelli when he’s OOC Next year.
Both those guys are well and truly in their clubs top 25% paid players.
Asking because I saw a post from PurpleReign95 on X saying that Switta was an RFA in 2026 when he’s next OOC. He would be nine years on the list by then and aged 29/30 so I can’t see how he can be an RFA?
Pretty sure this is incorrect.
In any case I would very much doubt he’s in our top 25% of earners too.

Ten years is the UFA threshold, as is if you have extended when out of contract as a RFA. Top 25% of squad and under ten years but over eight years, RFA.
But if you moved as a free agent to another club and were there for 8 years, you can be a restricted free agent again - as Franklin was.

Well the AFL article did say 'finalised'
Dons sign ex-Lion, Narkle a Docker, Dogs to trial VFL champ
A former Brisbane defender has landed at his father's old club on the first day of the pre-season supplemental selection period

Damn. There was nothing on the AFL website when I posted.
"The Ultan of Swing"
Hope this comes to pass.
Quinton...tick!
One to go
Not sure Kelm is coming. Truly is an odd situation. He was coming did his hip and then we decided against signing him. A couple of years later he comes over for some training. Irish newspapers list him as heading to Aus for AFL contract with Freo but crickets from Freo. Indications today that we have finalised our list.
Depending on the status of big Odin Jones we may well trial a couple of train ons but for now our list is finalised.

Ultan’s team only got knocked out of the all county finals on Saturday Nov 16th with him playing. So that could be the delay.
Scotstown power past Erne Gaels to make Ulster semis
Sizzling Scotstown had far too much power and panache for Erne Gaels in a one-sided Ulster Club Football Championship quarter-final in Brewster Park.
Does seem odd they have “finalised” the list though.
Out of contract players next year. (14 players)
Narkle I assume
Riddle
Reidy
Delean
Erasmus
Jones
Pearce
Worner
McDonald
Sharp
Aish
Walters
Brayshaw
Fyfe
Priority Order
Brayshaw
Pearce
Sharp
then the rest could almost be a wait and see.
Fyfe, Walters, Aish are all slowing down. I think this will be Fyfe and Walters last year, and Aish is probably 50/50 if he gets 1 more year.
Erasmus and Dealan both need a big year. I still have high hopes for Erasmus.
Players like McDonald, Worner, Reidy, Aish are all handy depth, but I don't think they will be near best 22.
I would guess Reidy is kept, as Riddle won't be ready. Not sure about the others.
Will be interesting to see how long Pearce extends for, if it 1 year then he is going to Tasmania.

Spot on I reckon. Only thing is Tasmania start in 2028 so two years for the Pearce one.
What I will say is without the Tasmania factor I think two years makes the most sense given his age.
