Good

So it seems to be one announcement a day.

Dea, Long and McNeice to go (arguably Bags as well because the club hasn’t announced that).
I’m not convinced at all that all 3 of these guys will still be on the list in a week.

Rapt. This kid can play.

Bags has been announced…Rookie listed

Glad Mynott got another gig…I actually didn’t mind him for a first year kid…Is hard

Where has it been announced?
The only thing i’ve seen is this article which says “afl.com understands”… doesn’t sound like confirmation to me and there has been nothing on the club site

We can’t offically rookie him (Baguley) until the rookie draft, surely.

Pretty unflattering photos on the website using a stupid filter. They make the poor bloke look like he has Freddy Krueger’s skin

I hope his player sponsors are not related to their more famous namesake.

Agreed… but I guess i’m Questioning that we’ve definitely delisted him. This article is all there is to go by. When was the last time the club delisted someone but didn’t announce it on the club site?

goldengoose · October 25, 2018, 5:44am

Fair point

chris_64 · October 25, 2018, 5:58am

Now that Berger has retired, we have 5 main list players out, Shiel the 1 main list player in, so its possible to leave Baggers on the main list and bring in 3 players from the main draft, and still upgrade SMack.
Do we want to upgrade anyone else - Draper? or bring in a DFA? Menzel ?

dbeas · October 25, 2018, 6:07am

Pretty sure it has been confirmed he’ll be delisted and put on the rookie list. Not so sure about McKernan, I think he got a two-year contract and is already upgraded?

leon_baker_4 · October 25, 2018, 6:09am

Of mutch Clarke and this guy I reckon mynott looks the most likely prospect

Alan_Noonan_10 · October 25, 2018, 7:02am

I thought it was going to be based on the results of Trade Week.

Albert_Thurgood · October 25, 2018, 12:56pm

Surely it’s time they renamed the “rookie” list. How the fark can Bags be considered a “rookie”?

I know logic is not the AFL’s forte, but wouldn’t something like “Supplementary List” or even, if that is too long, “Standby List” be more appropriate?

Ants · October 25, 2018, 1:04pm

Given it would just confuse most punters I can understand why they wouldn’t. Will most people care he’s technically on the rookie list?

dbeas · October 25, 2018, 9:40pm

I just checked, there’s no confirmation from the club, just a report from the AFL website, my mistake.

Hope it’s true, though.

HarryJay · October 26, 2018, 10:47pm

I thought rookie draftees got an initial 2yr contract. Why did Mynott have to renew for a 2nd year if so?
I would have thought he had shown enough to be just about automatic anyway. Not sure why there was such a delay.

Humble_Minion · October 26, 2018, 10:53pm

Draftees taken in the national draft get the automatic 2 year contract. Draftees taken in the rookie draft only get one year.
