I dont know about glandular fever either. All i know is thats its a kissing disease and it takes ages to get better from it.
Its pretty rare to have any major effects after 6 months. I had it as a teenager and it basically just made me feel like a lazy twat for a couple of months. Just wanted to laze around and do nothing. Kinda think the doc was wrong and i didnt actually have it and was just being a teenager.

If it's not that serious, then why delist him and plan to park him on the rookie list unless they don't think he can fully recover or he isn't good enough to take a risk on if he can't get a game for a while?

Reckon they are just taking the pressure of him after a tough year , from smaller expectations Improvement could happen .

I think we can upgrade a rookie prior to the season also , so he might get back to the main list if he goes well .

Say it was 6 months off hard training, for a guy like waterman who was carrying a few and puts them on easily its quite a hard slog back to get afl ready. Club could see it as taking up a spot on the list for a team contending who is highly unlikely to be capable of playing next season. Thats my take on it from afar.

The 6 months i referred to was to feeling good again he still has to pick himself up get moving again.

Could also be a pretty extreme case and pushing to get back will make things worse.

he looks pretty fit IMO (from the photos ive seen). Looks to have lost a few kgs since i last saw him play. Screen Shot 2015-11-11 at 10.18.40 pm.png

THis photo was taken a month ago.


I think they have put him on the rookie list so that we can go with the 38-6 list and to also give him his own time to get fit. Hopefully he gets well soon and can have some sort of preseason.
 
Would still prefer Ryan Clarke or Jade Gresham if they're somehow still available, but otherwise Lovell would be a decent pickup at our 1st pick, by the look of his youtube highlights (mainly vs NT, not so much vs NSW/ACT), not only gets a lot of the ball, is mostly a great kick, can kick a goal (inc a set shot 50m out) and can take a strong mark. Hopefully his lack of height won't be too much of a concern at AFL level.

Too short IMO. As a contending team I can't see us picking him up, for his sake I hope someone else does but will most likely be a rookie selection.

I'm fairly certain that I saw him involved at training very late in the season on the club's website.

GF will take the weight off
 
I reckon we'll take Cunningham with our first, bid for Himmelberg 2nd and take Marcus Adams with our last pick.

Cunningham averaged 20 touches and 5 clearances for Oakleigh. In a shallow draft with a heap of players with question marks on them, his explosive speed, balance, lateral movement through traffic and good size elevates him above others in my dreamy eyes.

Himmelberg looks like C McCarthy, just has to work on set shots (like the entire AFL just about).

And Marcus Adams will be our new Quinten Lynch/Troy Wilson muscle man. Looks talented too.
I agree Cunningham with our first he's bolting by the minute Twomey thinks he will go 20 to 30 now !!
 
Just looked at Glass-McCaskers highlights on the AFL draft machine hub thingy that wraglesweb web put up and got to say that theres a bit of rance about him. Wouldnt mind picking him up at pick 23 (or what ever it ends up being) but hopefully he is still their for our second pick. With Emac getting towards the end of his career and Browns future with us is uncertain, Glass-McCasker could be a development player for the next few years and an eventual replacement for Emac (Barrass is more of an intercepting defender). We could possibly develop him into a swingmen and maybe a part time ruckmen as well.
