[Asgardian]

There could be several recycled players picked up in the Rookie Draft

Greg Bentley
Daniel Boyle
Adam Cockshell
Fabian Deluca
Gavin Grose
Ryan Williams
Ryan Willits

 

[Mario the Lothario]

Farran Priest and Dylan Joyce

 

[7zark7]

Dylan Joyce

 

[Lach72]

Is there any particular reason that a bottom ager, Keiran King, can be drafted but can't be rookied?
I know they have to be 18, but what is the reasoning behind this?

 

[bulldogsman]

Farran Priest and Dylan Joyce

Farren is to young, he wasn't even eligible for ND

 

[cormick]

Good list.
But you have Robin Nahas twice.

 

[Beats]

Hamish Paynter

 

[year of the cat]

What about Luke Tapscott? Did he get drafted?

 

[SimonH]

Good list, but:

• you have Cockshell twice
• Alex Stopp is from SA, not Victoria
• From Norwood, the biggest chances are Stopp (who you already have), Ben Speight (who played league SANFL towards the end of '08 and made the fringes of some phantom drafts) and Josh Donohue (massively overage, like 20yo, but a goalsneak, who's about 50 pounds wringing wet, with great instincts and pace who took a massive leap forward in '08). Matt Davis is technically eligible but (unless you know something I don't) no great chance. Unless you're talking about a different Matt Davis to the ex-Sydney Swan now at Norwood.

Other SANFL team followers should be able to name at least 2 or 3 rookie chances from their side.

 

[tredrea16]

Tom Simpkin!

 

[forgetaboutit]

Andy Duhau

 

[FTW_]

Jamason Daniels?

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Is Zac Dawson eligible to be rookied?

What other delisted players are eligible?

You can add Brad Howard to the list... delisted by the Saints, looks certain to be rookied (as he should have been 2 years ago!).

 

[Maddog07]

Cameron Hitchcock- Glenelg
Jay Shannon- Port

 

[Macca19]

Tapscott isnt eligible i dont think.


Daniel Stewart - North Adelaide
Daniel Webb - West Adelaide
Wade Thompson - North Adelaide
Rhys Clinton - Port Adelaide

 

[legitimatic]

Nicholas Olds
Matt Mather
Ian Richardson
Brett Wolfendon

Oldsy is no chance.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Adam Spackman (Morningside, QLD).

 

[Black Roo]

Good list, but:

Other SANFL team followers should be able to name at least 2 or 3 rookie chances from their side.

From Sturt - (Charlie Sharples) Patrick Fittock, Josh Cubillo, Nick Wark

Wark made the SANFL state team. Also Cubillo, Fittock & Wark played in all of Sturt senior finals campaign in which all 3 had good finals series.

All 3 would make good projects for any club wanting to develop players who have played senior footy and showed that they can play at a higher standard.

 

[Checkers]

Matthew Martin(SA)

 

[MurrayFan]

Josh Bryce - NSW / ACT Rams B&F

 

[Rohan25]

Sam Iles.

 

[fev13]

Clancee Pearce
Ian Richardson
Brett Wolfenden
Matt De Beor
Lewis Fasolo
Jeff Garlet

Is there any particular reason that a bottom ager, Keiran King, can be drafted but can't be rookied?
I know they have to be 18, but what is the reasoning behind this?

Bottom agers born between January and April could get drafted in the ND. I think the main reasoning behind this is that they have to be given a minimum two year deal. For kids that age it can interrupt their studies, so they need that guarantee to potentially uproot their lives.

This will all become irrelevant next year because the draft age is lifted by four months, so there'll be no bottom aged/top aged split.

What about Luke Tapscott? Did he get drafted?

He was too young for the ND, so definitely too young for the Rookie.

 

[akl0991]

I think that James Boyd from South Adelaide is a massive chance to be rookie listed by an AFL club

 

[X_box_X]

Marcus Marigliani? The one from Frankston... surely he will be rookie listed. I'll fly home with the Pigs if he isn't.
