Pesky detail
And my suspicion was that Harves just wanted to put one over on us.
Blummers32: Eastie_Boi1:Thatās presuming age = leadership.
For all we know Barlow is a terrible leader.That probably explains why we took Hardingham ahead of Barlow in the PSD even though Hardingham was training at Freo and Barlow was training with us.
Actually, Freo had an earlier pick than us, so them picking Barlow before we did probably has more to do with it.
Not quite. They took Barlow before us in the rookie draft, but we used a PSD pick on Hardingham. So we could have taken Barlow. But given Hardingham was from East Fremantle we may have been grabbing him before the WA clubs could, and thinking we could pick Barlow up later.
Or maybe we never planned to take Barlow.

Detailsā¦
I find it interesting that thereās been no announcement on Leuenberger yet. I would have thought itās a simple one. If he wants to play on, give him another yearā¦otherwise heāll just retire.
I wonder if the latest calf strain has complicated the decision somewhat?
He was in some good form in the 2ās, then another injury.
Club and player probably weighing up whether his body can do another 12 months.
id hazard a guess that hes going for one more year considering hes gone in for surgery
The problem with Leuenberger is that heās incredibly fragile. Heās 30 years old and heās managed 137 games in 11 years. Some ruckmen have their best years from about 28 onwards, but Leuey doesnāt seem to be any more durable now than when he was a kid. We really needed him against Port and he lasted half the game.
Thatās a bit tough. Leuy played most matches across 2016 to 2018 for us at either AFL or VFL level. I donāt think heās missed too many to injury at all actually.
Iām hoping Draper really comes on. He was dominant in the VFL final last week and heās got all the size and strength you need.

Heās played 137 senior AFL games, but heās played a lot more football than just that.
Heās also barely missed more than a few weeks in a row with us
Same draft as J Selwood whoās passed 250, hasnāt he?
Same draft as Gumby and Lachie Hansenā¦oh hang onā¦
Stupid super draftsā¦
Mcnernan just re-signed for 2

Updated the first post. Nothing in the EFC article on whether heāll stay on the rookie list or not. Has to be promoted either this year or next.
Current state of play is that we have delisted Goddard, Merret and Green, but upgraded McKernan (acc to afl.com apparently).
So, 2 spots on the main list now available, one on the rookie list.
You have to draft 3 to the main list, so one more spot at least has to be freed up.
All this subject to any trades in or out. No trades out are looking likely, so any trades in (Shiel?, Setterfield?) would take a main list spot, and necessitate a further delisting.

Iām pretty sure rookie upgrades to the main list count as one of the 3 list changes

Iād like a link to that as the main article on the site doesnāt mention it one way or another.

Second paragraph in the article on AFL.com.
