AFLPA push to axe rookie list

ROOKIES will be torpedoed and club lists expanded to 46 under a plan being pushed by the AFL players' union.

Despite providing career starts to the likes of Aaron Sandilands, Nick Maxwell, Matthew Boyd, Darren Jolly, Aaron Davey, Dale Morris and Dean Cox, the AFL Players' Association wants the rookie system scrapped as early as next season.

Im against it. AFL should keep the rookie system.

I'm for keeping the rookie system but I think they should get a decent pay increase - ~35k is far too low for the time they must commit.

Raise it to 50k and keep the status quo.
