Not true. Vanders last year was promoted straight away. 

We've had similar players to Viv who have been dropped back to the rookie list then delisted. 

Fair enough, I had forgotten that. It would all depend on what they see as available at the end of the draft. They have to announce rookie upgrades before the draft.

You can have 3 years on the rookie list. He's only had 2.

Fancy that.  When did that happen?

A Club may retain a Player on its Rookie List for a third season provided it nominates such Player or Players using Form 32 prior to advising the AFL of its Primary List under Rule 6.1(a) and such Player consents to being nominated on the Rookie List for a third season. If a Player is retained under this Rule 10.10, any amount he is paid in excess of the 1st year third round draft selection Player payment will be included in the Club’s Total Player Payments.

No real surprises there if these are the changes that come at the end of the year. Shame that Max King hasn't been able to kick on after he showed some good form as a tall forward last year. Wagner has been very solid this year and deserving of a spot on the main senior list. I'm also looking forward to see how Joel Smith develops next year.

Max might be one of these horses that trains poorly but performs on the day. Best not to give him the arse without giving him a run...goodness knows there have been others gifted chances with impunity.

Promote White pointless making him a rookie 3 years running. I am positive he will produce the goods. Michie gone,max king gone,Wagner promote,Smith possible promotion depends on remaining casey games.

Hard to make a call on the rookie list until trade week has passed. Spots will either be taken or become free depending on what deals we can swing.

Wouldn't be suprised if the dees popped some names up the table this season to change up the list. If more spots are made available then Wagner gets promoted. Verdict still hung on Whites future.

im unsure about White. He might make a career. reminds me of Cheney, solid, lacks pace, old fashioned. not sure it would suit Goodwins gameplan.

Three years is too much to keep someone on the rookie list useless they have had a bad run of injuries.

I like the term "old fashioned". But I'm not sure I know what it means.
