If that was the old supplementary list for the Reserves than Kirk was not allowed to play seniors, he was a reserves top up list player, Different from the rookie list in they usually showed up on match day and were rotated so as not to damage one club to much. I dont have a record of Kirk being drafted prior to 96 so this is my only assumption.

Brad Hodge for the record also did this with Melbourne.

I've got no idea whether it was the supplementary list or not, but I know I've read more than once that he was rookied, and then delisted, and then re-rookied two years later.

Spot on triple.
Back in those days each club had a supplementary list which was effectively just a top up list. Sydney could basically use any player in NSW as a top up but had a core group of 6 or 7 as the main top ups, Kirky was one of these.These players couldn't play at senior level and didn't have to go through the draft to get on the Supp list.If Sydney's Ressies had a bye or players weren't needed they just went back and played at their home club that weekend. At the end of that season all Supp list players could get drafted by any AFL club. From memory that's how Nathan Thompson was picked up by Hawthorn after he spent a year on their Supp list.
In reply to Soph's question about Aaron Bruce he could still be taken as a NSW rookie by the Swans if they wanted and he could also get picked up by any club in the National draft.
There's still hope for Aaron Bruce. BOGs against Sydney certainly wouldn't harm his chances.

HOPE HE SMASHES THE RESSIES TO BITS NEXT WEEK
im just gonna cheer for him and pump him up all day on sunday

least there is hope he can get picked up as a NSW ROOKIE...this is what i want...dont want him 2 have to worry about anything else we just pick him up again

i dont want him 2 go in the draft in fear a club far far away would snatch him up...omg if he went 2 West Coast idd DIE



AARON I MISS U!
 
Jason Porplyzia is one stand-out example of a player rookied, delisted and then picked up again a couple of years later (and in his case by his original club).

Hadyn Skipworth also spent a year (more?) I believe back in the SANFL after being delisted by the Crows and is now playing senior footy with the Bombers.

Given Bruce only just missed being retained, if he keeps carving up the ACTAFL right under the Swans' noses, you'd think they'd at least consider taking him back. With Fossie and Kennelly gone, Leo going, Schmidt suffering another season ending injury, Playfair looking dubious to get onto the field this year, probably at least one of Crouch, MickyO or Hall to retire, not to mention Brabazon and O'Dwyer regressing in their skills, the Swans are likely to be forced to cut quite deep into the list come season's end. Bruce's chances could well hinge on how well Gordon comes along as they are not too dissimilar types of player.

For Bruce to be redrafted as a NSW rookie, he'd first have to nominate for the draft and get passed over. The Swans can't claim any "local" players as priority rookies until after the main draft.

Skipworth played with the Bendigo Bombers for a couple of years, at least one was under Matthew Knights. So it was not a big surprise that Knights drafted him to Essendon.

Thanks for that beford. So would i be correct in saying the full list of our scholarship holders is as follows:

Ryan Bottin-Noonan, Matt May, Jay Lewis, Nathan Kenny, Jackson Potter, Blake Guthrie, Jack Lynch, Mitchell May, Nathan Gordon, Harry Butchart, Stephen Wray, Daniel Robinson and Mitchell Crawford.

Are Botton-Noonan and Nathan Gordon the only ones that have been playing in the ressies regularly?

EDIT: Swan120 posted the list above although i have an extra, Mitchell May?

Bruce is no world beater so why is he being rated so highly, is it because he is so OMGOMG hot.

LOL. I can assure you I am way way past an age where the perceived "hotness" of a 19yo would have any effect on my opinion of whether he can play football.

I just happen to think Bruce can play, that his style of play and combination of attributes are far more suited to the way modern AFL is played than those of a couple of senior listed Swans currently running around in the ACTAFL, and that regardless of whether he was ever going to make the step to senior football, he showed enough last year to earn another year to at least give it a shot.

And based on the form he's shown for Eastlake this year, I reckon that if he were still on the Swans list, he'd probably have earned a senior debut by now given the injuries and lacklustre form of several of the current fringe players.

That is your opinion Liz, but obviously the club has other ideas and you don't find a younger man hot at all. lol.
I don't want to go over old ground but maybe the standard he is playing in could hold him back. If he had gone to the VFL and played well he might have got picked up .
