Fraser Gehrig is nominating for the draft, after having second thoughts about it all

one of my favourite players in the AFL, glad to see him back- would love him at Collingwood.

At 31 would be surprised if anyone picked him up...
Did he nominate for the Draft this Saturday or the PSD ?

Because he's nominated today, he's eligible for any club to take him in the national draft. Interestingly, it was the STKFC that lodged his papers.

How will his body hold up over the next season?

So, are we to assume the Saints want him back?

The mail is the Saints will have to check their money situation, but they were more than keen to have him put his name in today, once he flagged he would go around again. Not sure if any other club would jump in and grab him, though you never know what a club may do with its last pick.

Some more info:

Apparently he went overseas and things didn’t work out so he called the club and said he’d had a change of heart. They said the only way he can come back is through the draft but he’s fair game if he enters it. Apparently he only wants to play for the saints though. He’s still overseas.
Paperwork lodged at 1.45pm.

Hope his attitude has improved since last year if he is picked up, doubt however whether the Saints will get him

Well he could visit or choose to live where he like but he won't play footy for the Crows or Port.

St Kilda will welcome him back with open arms if we're lucky enough to pick up 8)

Maybe St Kilda have looked @ the talent pool and said that no one would be better than Fraser and they think that they maybe around the mark next year ???
