The Recruit

Just on the rookie list?

yep they get drafted as a category B rookie, which is the same as blicavs, irishmen, or basketballers.

[footywise]

So what would they be on a year?
what if no club wants the player? Who has to take the winner?
Lets face it theres not a lot of talent on offer.

Pretty certain Sydney agreed to take the winner before the show started

Surely Essendon could take them all

[bennymacca]

Rookies get 53k a year. If they get promoted to the senior list they get 59k plus $3400 per match

[the joker]

My top for a winner is Johan, from a top 3 of Johan, bradie, Chris

picked it!

i knew it was those three ages ago but didn't want to ruin it for others. Sure you didn't know?

[the joker]

Every club will want him I think. AFL are paying his wages and all expenses next season. Cost clubs nothing to have an extra player on their list

thanks for not spoiling it for me, nah i didnt know

[bennymacca]

presumably the draft just goes in reverse order until someone wants him?

and i doubt 60k a year for a rookie contract is something that they are even contemplating money-wise

[footywise]

Its not a lot is it?
To sit on a list, train for 12 months and surely not get a game.
Great experience but not big $

Yep for sure. And they work as hard as anyone else. And don't get playing rights really, unless there is an LTI.

One of the big bugbears of cornesy when he was on air, and I agree with him

[footywise]

who is your tip to win it?

[bennymacca]

who is your tip to win it?

Johan. Him and morelo were the only ones that you can tell left it all out there and wanted it. But he is younger and quicker so has more upside.

Bradie could go as well though. Plenty of more speculative rucks than him taken before..

[footywise]

So you think there are only 3 possible winning chances?

[Pag]

I think it's between Yoey and Bradie, can't see Morlo making it at the level.

[bennymacca]

Well unless they throw a curveball, and someone gets invited that had already been eliminated, they are down to the final 3...

Waylen would he draftable if he could stay away from home

[Feenix]

Apparently the Cats have signed Padraig on a 2 year deal

[footywise]

I heard that too. Good luck to him
