No. It's a way of telling him he probably won't play in the AFL again unless we have a few injuries.
I think we all know that Dedja's theory is far more believable.
Yes and no.
Logan is unlucky to be demoted to the rookie list ( still don't understand how a bloke with his experience can be a "rookie", I think it should be called supplementary list or the like ) and I would not be surprised to see him elevated back onto the senior list if we find no suitable selections in the draft. Or if we find ourselves picking 3 kids in the draft, he may be elevated.
dedja, you're excused.
As for Benny Newton, it's an interesting one. Basically by knocking back a contract from Port and entering the draft he has, in effect, made himself a free agent after a handful of games over 3-4 years.
If he'd been up front about a proposed destination we could have been compensated in the trade period, instead we lose a player who adds to our midfield depth and one who is good quality cover for our first picked side.
but why would anyone leave port willingly ?
Opportunities. He is behind Moore and Young in the "next in line" list.
