Totally agree, but with the lists being smaller the club use it to keep known talent, tick Eddie betts was on a rookie contract, bit of a joke.  Is should be for new/young player given a chance to develop.  I can see the AFL making some changes on this, maybe putting a games played/time served limit on rookies. 

They should just rename it the supplementary list given, let's face it. That's what it is.

    What about Brander from West Coast? Pick 13 in 2017, homesick KPP looking to come home. Could be worth a punt given we wouldn't be giving up anything in return?

    There might be a marketing tie-in with our wine sponsors, Bleasdale Vineyards.

    Brander Vino has a nice ring to it.

    The rookie list. Really !!! Clubs delisting players and reselecting them as rookies. There is too many that are older players being given rookie lifelines on lower $ contracts.  Mitch Brown as a rookie. Shane Mumford last year !!! Rookie list should be restricted to players 23 or under at the start of the footy season calendar year. 

     ie. For 2022 season, players who were born in 1998 or later.

    i understand it for the time being with covid budget cuts and players being owed money and clubs having to juggle it around but i completely agree that from 2023 onwards it should be set to either remotely for u21s OR only for first time afl players ie no age limit but they have to be recruited form outside the afl and after three years maximum as it is its up or out

    It could do with a name change but it functions well as a list for players who don’t get longer contracts and who then go through a redrafting or training process to get back on a list. Whether they’re 19 or 35 doesn’t bother me.

    The players are all eligible to play every week and anyone delisted then becomes a life time free agent so that works well for them too.

    Yes perhaps the name “Rookie” should be updated to “Supplementary”.

    I sense the Redleg campaign to get him to Melbourne is nearing an end?

    I wonder, given he is another potential key forward and they have some young ruckmen, whether they will now use their early picks for immediate needs, rather than maybe a developing player, who might need several seasons before playing.

    I like your thinking here 🤞Mac

    Good to read that Lockhart might get another gig at GWS.

    It’s a sign of a strong team when delisted players get picked up elsewhere. Jay had strong attack at the footy and could still strongly. With Jetta retiring, I thought he might be able to stay on and be considered for the small defensive role. Not to be so we wish him good luck.

    Can we get Polec as a delisted free agent?

    That dude has so many issues between the ears it’s not funny. Not sure it would be in the spirit anyway, but we would have to be convinced he could actually give a sheet before we even entertained it.

     

    No in my irrelevant opinion

    Hasn’t he really spiraled down in the last 2 years.  

    don't think he's really changed at all, north just find him irrelevent due to drafting and list strategy and are stuck with his 5yr deal

    Like chronic visual flatulence desperately seeking an enema to end the agony. Bit like JN’s late movie career…

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
