Same
it is
It is.
But itās Australian sports journalism.
All Irishmen look the same / are interchangeable.
so we should be able to sneak Conor in for McQuillan or McBride for the odd game here and there when we need him?
Racist
I think you may have missed that my point was all about racism in Australian journalism.
Expect to see mislabeled pics of Daw, Chol and Allir by the dozen should Majak be picked up by Port or Richmond.
The AFL changed the rules. We can now play either of them any time we want (Cat Bs are now the same as Cat As in that respect).
Cool your jets, mod lover
So Clarke and Gleeson can be signed by other clubs this weekend. But if not, then we can sign them early next week ā¦
It would be controversial if they are picked up by another side, given they were delisted before the AFL announced that 2 senior players could go onto the rookie list without being delisted, as was Betts at Fark CFC.
Alternatively, might Essendon leave them dangling for other clubs to consider until our last picks in the rookie draft?
This would be in the hope that other teams take on their contracts which go to 2021.
Maybe Essendon have the fingers crossed that one or both get picked up by other clubs.
Updated here & at top of Thread for Stewart contract.

Wright
Caldwell
Hind
Total 35
Uncontracted;
Mosquito
Total 36
Plus Cat B
Hird (B), McBride(B),
Indicates possible Rookie A #
36 plus 2 Cat B
44 allowed + cat Bās yes?
Assuming Moz is def a re-sign then 7 spots to fill.
If we donāt auto rookie Gleeson and Clarke & they get picked up elsewhere 9 spots to fill
ā¦
42 + 2 Cat Bās. There are 6 spots to fill plus 2 more if Gleeson and Clarke are picked up elsewhere
Surely, Cutler is signed, so I donāt think he requires an * any longer.
I think Cutler is probably signed but the club donāt want to say so lol
Saving it as the big announcement for when thereās really sht newsā¦or maybe not.
Can we trade him for pick 127 on Trade Night?
Will we be able to get a replacement player for Moz being on the LTI like we were able to do for Johnson this year.
