What is the bombers zone exactly? They said during the draft yesterday that if CDT’s dad was born outside in Sri Lanka like his grandparents were then he would have been in their academy. So do they just have first dibs on all children of immigrants because that is one hell of a zone if they do.

My current rubbish is now wce getting an additional 4 rookie spots.

How do they get this and Richmond nothing?

When they won a flag only couple years prior to tigers

I'm really happy with the profile of players focussing on pace. We are a slow team. This will help massively.

Clarke was probably our only really quick type that isn't forward of the ball. Maybe Hugo.

So this is great to fill a need of the team. With Lalor and Smillie physically sound, Hotten with agility and silk.

Good rounded midfield.

Personally I never thought Hugo was that quick.

Maybe a decent tank etc but never saw him get space on someone the way guys like Bolton do.

We traded in a pick from next year which was RT, so I think if I'm reading this correctly we only have 1 spot left and that'll be a rookie Kellaway.

How many rookie picks can we have?

Two.

Three if Kellaway can be put category b. My understanding is he is not allowed however sadly

We have 1 rookie spot only avaiable, 38 on main & 4 rookie max

We currently have 38 & 3

Are you sure?

100% sure

Minimum 37 players all up on list         
Maximum 44 players all up on list inc 2 Cat B         
Minimum 36 & max 38 on main list         
4-6 Cat A Rookies         
2 Cat B Rookies

That sucks.

.they were so confident on the podcast there were two spots for the rookie draft including Kellaway. Regardless of A or B category.

Would be nice to add another young talent to the list.

When it's laid out as you have done it apparently how many battlers we still have.

Cummings and Peuker are cousins

Thought it was a throwaway term, didn't realise they were actually related.

So we're likely to have 4 kids from the SA U18 team - Cumming, Grlj, Peucker and Kellaway. Should be nice for them as a group.


Have to say Grlj seems quite entertaining as a kid. Bet the players are charmed to have him.

Roberts-Thomson and Kellaway are apparently good mates
