We can only have 2 category B rookies and I'm pretty sure their salary isn't counted fully towards the salary cap.

So we would want to keep Mullin (who would be on much more than standard rookie money as a star of the Irish game) on the category B rookie list. Same with the new kid Cillian Burke who is much more advanced than the typical Irish rookie.

So Furphy had to make way.

Stanley is cooked, Conway is always injured, Blicavs isnt a ruck and is on the verge of being cooked and SDK has played like 3 games in the ruck, yep future is bright

Sure, but they are all better options than Furphy.

 

[Hinkley29]

Were talking about Cadman yeah? The guy who was drafted 2 years ago and is 20yo

My bad, for some reason I thought they were talking about cam Rayner.

Mitch Knevitt, the undersized mobile ruckman you never knew you needed

Godspeed Mitch

Rumoured we are looking at Blakiston - East Freo ruckman , Saints also interested.
Would need to get ahead of Saints 3rd pick if we were to grab him?

 

[Strange Cat]

Another List spot opens up

That’s a late delisting ?

I thought news reports suggested that he's not coming over?

Poor guys lost all his confidence.

Poor guy- there are some surnames that you are sure will never make it

 

[Gunf]

I thought Furphy showed enough to keep around for at least 1 more year but obviously we want that Cat B spot open for someone else.

 

[calder_daddy]

Can anyone make sense of list spots we have?
Surely there’s something up their sleeve other than Martin as a DFA

Doesn’t make much sense to me, although I haven’t spent too much time thinking about it

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

With the delisting being this late and after the trade period I’m assuming the Irish rookie is a certainty to come over and that we’re taking another ruck. Makes me think we might add someone more certain such as a delisted free agent but maybe we are just going to take the best mature ruck available with our picks.

Them getting rid of Furphy screams we have someone we want as a Cat B rookie to me

 

[Boxhead_31]

I can only think they had to confirm Cillian Burke was coming before making the decision.

I'd say its more likely it means we have a Cat B in mind than another ruck. Furphy was 0% chance of playing AFL next year anyway, so it doesn't really impact our ruck stocks in the immediate term.

 

[Footy Smarts]

I think that was a while back and he was coming out here around now for "a holiday". There were rumours recently that he was locked in.

There's also not much benefit for him to tell the Irish media he's leaving before it's locked in.

I wasn’t thinking of anyone in particular but yes I get the sense the lateness of the delisting meant they have someone lined up that they were waiting on imo
