Permission to train list?

Do they still have one or do prospective players no longer train with the AFL club's.

    I think the permission to train list is after the draft but before the rookie draft, to give clubs a chance to assess players that missed the draft.

    Kev, that used to be partly the case when there was a gap between the main draft and the PSD & rookie drafts but these days they're within a couple of days of each other. 

    If potential draftees are still allowed to train with AFL clubs then it would most likely be when they come back from the break early next month. However, I'm not sure whether it's necessary any more and after Fremantle drafted Jack Hannath who was training with us a few years ago, I'm not sure that it's such a good idea.

    Wouldn't be surprised if we invite some Casey boys like Goy Lok or the kiwi fella for a run come first day of pre season.

    These are 2 players the days are looking into.

    Yes but we did draft Brayshaw after he trained with us.

    We try not to bring in mediocrity any more, except for maybe an emergency extra ruck.

    PS . Sorry was replying to post before yours.

    You two blokes would know better than me, no problems. Thought he might have been a possible candidate, seeing as we've picked up two "goodies"

    The permission to train list is an insurance thing. If a club wants a look at someone, they can't just bring them in and work them. If the recruit gets injured the club faces liability issues. Having them on the PTT list means they are covered by the AFL.

    Good to see that we're not going down the path of trying to recycle mediocre footballers. We have four vacancies - give the youngsters a go.

    And there you have smart future list construction, made possible by a reasonable current list.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
