2009 National Draft official selections

[Tigerman]

RICHMOND
No. of selections: 10
Selections: 3, 19, 35, 44, 51, 67, 71, 78, 89* (Browne), 94* (Nahas)

So perhaps 7 x ND selections and 1 x PSD selection. (plus 2xRookie upgrades)

That looks the way we are going.

Interesting there were that many further delistings for the 2nd list lodgement giving clubs more picks. Richo was the only forced one out due to injury and retirement  . Normally there are hardly any delistings after the end of October. Maybe a number of clubs think there is more value in this draft than first realised.

The idea of reading out promoted rookies late in the National draft seems a waste of time btw. They are already on clubs' senior lists.

What's the Pre season draft order? According to a story about McPhee in today's Age Freo have pick 2, I thought we had pick 2.

That's a mistake in the paper. We have pick 2 and Freo have pick 3. The PSD order is just the reverse order of the ladder for all clubs that have a senior list spot still free on their list. If a club has its full quota (38 players) on its senior list then it can't participate in the PSD.

Thnaks MT!

why are the rookie elevations using draft picks?

i thought when you elevate a rookie, that is it, you just elevate them without using a draft pick?

As far as I know it's to remain consistent with the old rule of all clubs using a minimum of 3 National draft picks.

The new rule just brought in this year is you can count one or more of your promoted rookies as one of those 3 minimum picks. Given it's a compromised and therefore a shallower draft pool for the next 3 years with the new teams coming in, existing AFL clubs may not see the need or want to use as many as 3 National draft picks especially if you're a top side and your 3rd pick is late in the draft where the kids have a low chance of making it. It'll happen more and more when GC17 and GWS hog the first rounds of the draft between 2010-12. An existing club may find it more beneficial for the quality of their playing list to only use their 1st and 2nd picks say and then promote a rookie from within their own playing stocks and have that counted as their "3rd pick".

thank you MT.

will this rule that has been introduced this year continue after 2012?

Not sure torch. With 18 teams accessing the draft pool instead of 16 there'll be an argument to keep it.
