Because the rookie list has no bearing anymore and it only exists to balance how many draft picks you can take into the draft.
If we had an empty rookie spot and wanted to take another player in the draft I'm sure we would've moved him to the rookie list.

I can't believe you've forgotten about Butters...
No think he made a stupid bet saying he would give up on Big Footy if it went wrong. It went wrong and he deleted his account from memory
Have you heard anything regarding the futures of Clarke and Keath?
Whilst i dont like commenting publicly about delistings publicly as a general rule.
Clarke is in limbo until the back end of trade period (likely waiting on a final call from GWS on O'halloran) but is likely to get one more year.
I imagine keath is somewhere next year as mature back up/leadership but has takers at lower levels if things fall through.

Not sure that’s right.
Pretty sure mods banned them because they had alt accounts not obeying BF rules.

People wonder what the value of good club culture actually is.
To me it's the idea that you can tell someone that they're looking around to an improvement on your list, and they have to wait, and you can't commit to them.
If you have good club culture they'll take that in good faith and not take it personally, and will still try their best irrespective of what's out of control.
A bad club culture will have players wanting to leave - even if it's against the best interests of remaining on an AFL list anywhere - if you tell them that they have to wait around and you're not engaging with them in good faith.

Wouldn’t really agree with all of this, who are you talking about? Seems like that would be favouring the club over the players best interests quite a bit and they have to draw the line somewhere - though it’s always great to see loyalty and sad to see players leave

If a club treats its players well, then during the trade period they say to them that they can't guarantee your spot and we're effectively looking to upgrade your position on the list, but if we fail, we'll you return, that player won't take it badly, because they have an existing good cultural relationship with the club and won't take it personally.

St Kilda aren't going to burn bridges with Connor Sports management and the Geelong Football Club just so they can get Jack Macrae cheaper.

Genius
How badly to Connor Sport and Baz want to openly commit to draft tampering?
Setting aside the silliness of it it’s actually a pretty fair trade that more or less makes sense for all parties
A fit JJ is about the same as the best form we have seen from bramble, although we've only seen about 5 games of that
I dont have faith that either of those players can produce a full season of their best form, for various reasons

No idea - but let's not pretend like it doesn't already happen.
