7 Rookies Next Year
We will have 7 Rookies next year because of us elevating Khan Haretuku(our NSW scholarship holder) to a rookie means he is still a rookie but is outside of the list.
Our Rookie's Next Year will be:
1. Jayden Attard
2. Robert Eddy
3. Luke van Rheenen
4. Pick 8
5. Pick 24
6. Pick 39
7. Khan Haretuku
Our Rookie's Next Year will be:

3. Luke van Rheenen
4. Pick 8

Yes. You nominate for the two drafts together. Although if a player is under 18 or over 22 at Dec 31st then they aren't eligble to be rookied.n1ck wrote:are any of the players who nominated for the PSD available to take as rookies?
im talking of collard and dunn in particular.
The new mature rookie rule means that you can take one over age player providing that he hasn't been on an AFL list before.

Clubs can include a maximum of three extra players on their rookie list, provided they are former scholarship list players, international scholarship holders (there are none of these players in this year's pool) or Sydney and Brisbane based players.
I'm a whole lot more excited about the rookie draft now

Are Mini and Sweeney eligible? Those are about the only two delistees i'd be interested in rookieing. Sweeney would have benefited from the kick up the arse in delisting, and Mini has been managed badly in his first few years, I thought even this year that he should have been ahead of Birss.mad saint guy wrote:Yes.

Can't you figure that out from what I just said?Otiman wrote:Are Mini and Sweeney eligible?mad saint guy wrote:Yes. You nominate for the two drafts together. Although if a player is under 18 or over 22 at Dec 31st then they aren't eligble to be rookied.
Are they under 18? No.
Are they over 22? No.
Therefore they are eligble.

McQualter is a hack, I don't want anything to do with him... Sweeny is a possibility, wouldn't mind seeing what he is capable of after getting this wake up call...

both dunn and collard will get taken in the pre-season draft...and considering our first pick is at 8 we dont have a chance of getting them eitherstinger wrote:n1ck wrote:are any of the players who nominated for the PSD available to take as rookies?

hopefully all recycled players are taken in the pre-season so we have a chance maybe at arrowsmith, gourdis or bellchambers
doubtful though

Travis Dulic a KP Defender would also be a good selection in the Rookie Draft.Saints Premiers 2006 wrote:both dunn and collard will get taken in the pre-season draft...and considering our first pick is at 8 we dont have a chance of getting them eitherstinger wrote:n1ck wrote:are any of the players who nominated for the PSD available to take as rookies?

The best non AFL players at a reasonable ageLTN16 wrote:I won't be surprised if we pick up a Mature Age Rookie in the 23 - 27yr old age bracket, some bloke who's been dominating the VFL, WAFL, SANFL or QAFL.
Shane Valenti (Sandringham) - 2nd VFL B&F - 20yo
James Allen (North Adelaide) - 1st SANFL B&F - 22yo
Not many others stand out too much to be honest

Hope we pick Valenti up.
Mate of mine is a mate of his, and reckons a few AFL clubs have had a chat to him.
Would have to be close to the best under-21 talent in the country not on an AFL list. Would be surprised if Melbourne don't at least rookie him with the Sandy connection.

They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.
do you know what his endurance and skinfolds are like?Oh When the Saints wrote:Hope we pick Valenti up.

when iv seen him, while i dont consider him big, he isnt as 'ripped' as most league footballers
looks can be deceiving though
