Some great moments from Froggy's career:

Was that Goddard he cleaned up @ 00.47?

He wasn't our greatest player by any stretch but he was genuinely likable and I'm sad to see him go even if it is in the best interests of the club.

Yep, cleaned up BJ alright.

Agreed, he wasn't the great player to have played the game, but he was extremely likeable and exciting.

 

[JDavey]

Was calling it very early on in the year to get him to 100 as this would be his last. Still sad to see him go but he really wasn't having an impact on games any more.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

No idea why.

Hawthorn have a spare chaperone now.

[longdaveyjetta]

Nope from the photo he's got a lot of bulking up to do though.

Gaining alot of Speed into our squad lately

 

[Andronicus]

When I saw he had an aths background, I thought to myself "I hope he was an 800m runner, but 400 or 1500 would do."

Very happy to read he ran 800's as his main event.

 

[Zach Package]

alternative talent, yay!!! Yoda_ will be pleased.

Jonny Rayner is a boss as name as well

Has pedigree as well, which I like if we're going to go down the cat. B path, less teaching time than someone plucked from the US. 2009 TAC cup team of the year centreline... Rayner, Martin, Bastinac, fair company that is

 

[Drummer_19]

I feel like the rookie B list is something I should have heard of before.

who were the on-ballers?

 

[Andronicus]

Why was he overlooked by every club after what sounds like a great U18's?

 

[stkildathunda]

Nah he's happy to continue his career anywhere, of course he'd be happy if it was in WA but it really doesnt concern him. Was never homesick at any stage. It wasnt a factor in him leaving the Saints, the lack of opportunity was one of many issues.

It's what Blicavs from Geelong is on

 

[Drummer_19]

Why does it exist? Is it for the rando guys who havn't been registered to football for x amount of time or something?

Welcome Johnny. He officially becomes listed in the rookie draft, am I right?

Personally I'm against this rookie B thing, but as in the AFL shouldn't have it. But seeing as it's there, well done Bombers, might as well utilise it.

The list allows any club to recruit an athlete who has not been registered in an Aussie rules competition for three years.


Sanctions or no sanctions this is exactly what the club should be doing with the rookie lists. It continues a seriously impressive run of list management/recruiting for the last 5 to 6 years.

Does anyone know whether you can have multiple players on this rookie B list? My googling of Joseph Forrester seems to confirm that he has not yet made up his mind between signing an NRL contract and taking the punt down here with us.

Good. I reckon it's going to be more and more important as football evolves.

It's to encourage clubs to attract players from non traditional areas such as other sporting backgrounds or from other countries. Basically it removes some of the risk from recruiting a guy who hasn't held a football in his life or hasn't played in a number of years.
