Why would anyone bypass the PSD for the rookie draft? Less money, no spot on the senior list and still no guarantee of even getting picked up if circumstances change.
We cant rate Bennell that highly...we overlooked him in the rookie draft last year despite crying out for a small forward at the time. Not sure if much has changed since.

Freo can't rate Bennell that highly either. They have five non-listed players training with them but he's not one of them.
For the record, the players are Danny Stanley (Collingwood), Matt Riggio (North), Trent Dennis-Lane (Subi), Kyle Hardingham (East Freo) and Alex Silvagni (Casey Scorpions - nephew of SOS).

We generally keep our cards close to our chest. There was alot of speculation that we were going to take Cockie last year but didnt invite him to train. I believe so we dont force another team to take them with early picks and are able to get them with later picks or PSD.
TDL should be our first priority in PSD and I can see Freo taking him with 1 of their NDP so they will try and get him in the RD giving us the opertunity to snag him in the PSD.
If TDL is gone then either John Bennell or Taylor Duryea should be next on our list IMO.

Nah, I just think we made a genuine mistake with Liam Bedford at pick two.
Cockie was always likely to be our second pick.
I think we should seriously consider Kieran King as well.
Freo have an abundance of that type of player and I would be surprised if they took another.We generally keep our cards close to our chest.

From memory, I think it was Hardingham I watched last year and even the commentators commented how often he did good work only to turn the ball over consistently...not you want from a mature age rookie.
And is a specialist FP as well.

Well if he's only played for three years he sure has learnt a few tricks pretty quickly. Looks like he has very good hands and marking ability, hiskicking style looks a tad rough but he finds his targets and the goals.
Definately a chance of a rookie spot

So what exactly would you say are some vital attributes for a mature age rookie, a player that hasn't been good enough to make the cut for the last 2,3,4 sometimes even 5 years?

Matt DeBoer was an Eagles supporter and we took Bedford in front of him, mistakes are made but life goes on.
Deboer will be a very handy player.

As a guess - I'd say the 'nominated rookie' rule would have been scrapped seeing as rookies can now be signed on for a third year without being put through the draft.

Yeah i thought about that too, otherwise it basically means that a rookie could spend like 6 seasons with a team. Seems a bit excessive. Hell their could be 100-game rookie listed players if it still applied
Looking at the draft machine, there is fair amount of popularity for Mitch Carter, any chance of a rookie pick???
Has the best skills on both sides of the body I have seen, and speaking to a scout for an Eastern states team, he agrees that they are the best skills in Australia. Has a great leap and marking ability. Only downside is his ball winning ability. Can go missing, but does appear during key times of the game.

Daniher was quoted as saying one of the attractions for our current rookies is that they could be nominated rookies as we have no vets. Or did you mean something else and I missed the point?Yeah i thought about that too, otherwise it basically means that a rookie could spend like 6 seasons with a team. Seems a bit excessive.

I meant that every team can delist 1 rookie and then pick them up again in the draft with their final pick. As a way to stop other clubs poaching teams rookies.
Hawks did it with Gary Moss last year, his rookie contract was up but he hadn't been able to show anything due to injury so they got him again with their 4th or 5th round rookie selection.
Thats why they would probably scrap that rule, as giving a rookie the option to be on a teams list for 6 years before needing to be promoted sounds ridiculous.
