Luker Kentfield really impressed me last week playing as a ruckman and I thought he held himself well against Maxy Heath. His marking around the ground stood out but it was his mobility and ability to link up which impressed me more. With the extra interchange player now added, I reckon this will come into play more often with team selection.

No they cant as we dont have a list spot available. Reason why Hawks had the two SPP train on players play today against Geelong was pretty much an auditioning to fill in the available list spot they currently have. Usually this is as simple as getting an approval from the AFL for SPP players to play in the AFL practice games. Similar to our very own Jack Henderson playing for West Coast last year against Richmond.

Been confirmed this morning by Jason McCartney on SEN that he has a picked up an injury.

I too was barracking for WA and I have never even step foot in that state before.

Correct. Technically, they would need to have a decision made before March the 2nd as thats when the SPP list lodgement closes.

Huh? Placing someone on the long term injury list has absolutely nothing to do with salary cap nor does it have any effect whatsoever. Even if they get placed on the inactive list, they still get paid as per their contract. Replacement SPP players start off on rookie base wages. Its not breaking the bank on the salary cap at all. I think you have wrapped yourself in a big ball of confusion mate.

No mate, if if they missed for personal reasons they're not placed on any categories. Missing for personal reason is usually just a week by week situation pending on the circumstances. Look at the doggies past year with Jamarra. He missed the whole season last year with personal reason and they never placed him on the inactive, or long term injury list. Also: The AFL Inactive List is a mechanism that allows clubs to move players with season-ending injuries or those who have retired mid-season off their active roster. This process "frees up" a list spot, enabling the club to recruit a replacement player through specific draft windows.

Well no he cant, it doesnt work that way. That replacement player would need to be delisted at the end of the year when it comes to the list lodgements after the season is wrapped up. If Viney is placed on the long term injury list its because he is missing a season all up, not 6 weeks. That's why both Bowey and Viney havent been placed on long term injury list because they are scheduled to return at some stage this year and play. Viney would need to be placed on the inactive list as he would be unable to play at all in the season and then thats where the list spot opens up for an SSP prospect. If May officially retires then that would simply open up a list spot for us.

When I watched the replay, it seems that Jeffo got a cork around the knee area from.when Adams flew in from the side.

Its not up to the staff to make that decision.

He'd have to be under serious consideration after today. He should have easily kicked 5 on Adams. Unfortunately I just dont see how a list spot opens up anytime soon. Paddy Cross is another they would look at heavily. Reminds me so much of Fritsch in his draft year at Casey.
