3 kids that played in the 2018 SFL u15 GF who were drafted have now been delisted, one left - JHF

I thought they would persist with Verrall also.

No, but the value placed on "2 first rounders" is skewed, I think.

Lemmey and who else?

Of the SA rucks drafted in the last 10 years, I'd put him as the best prospect. Maybe had some work ethic questions early on but there's a lot to like.

Given the reported lack of depth in this years draft I'm expecting a lot of spots left vacant on lists after the drafts in November to sign DFAs and sign on players as clubs try before they buy in March.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

If CCJ can be on an AFL list, there's no reason Verrall shouldn't be either

Yep recruiters believe the draft of 18yos might end in the 30-40's this year and the rest of the picks will be DFA's and re-listings.
