What's our best 22 now?

Any changes now?!

Any changes now?!

2013 changes, no more nominated rookies since you have the ability to expand senior list to 40 if you wish, isn't it? (To replace the previous two vet listed/nominated rookies). If so, none of the rookies will get a gig unless covering for a LTI listed player

[gerkin greg]

they should shorten the LTI list qualification down to a 4 week injury, that's a substantial lay-off these days, give the rookies more opportunity

If the AFLPA gets their way then lists will be expanded to 46 (I think) senior spots and completely abolish the rookie system. Reckon I agree. Any bloke on the team should be eligible for match selection.

[gerkin greg]

or they could do that

Just watching this poo http://youtu.be/9LpMhcI7LYI and they mentioned that the 6 Collingwood rookies will be competing for the two nominated spots. So I must have got it wrong before, where I read that there will be no nominated rookies might have been from clubs who already have 40 on their list or something. If you only have 38 senior listed players do you get to nominated two rookies? And if you have 39 it would be one nomination?

They passed in the PSD and took 6 rookies, so I'm guessing 38? Without looking it up.

Noooooo Surely not! A club of Collingwoods caliber not filling the full 40 spots on the list!! God forbid....

its a head stuff.

See, that's where you don't get it TFT.  Collingwood are smart, the Hawking's of the competition if you will.  If they only have 38 then that's what all clubs need to emulate because if Collingwood do it then others must follow.  The reason for doing it will not be obvious yet to all the other 'mortal' clubs but you can rest assured there is a very good and smart tactical reason that will leave the opposition clubs breathless and gasping in their wake yet again when their cunning plan is revealed.  One thing you can be 110% safe on though - it will have absolutely and categorically nothing to do with the fact they have no room in their salary cap.  No-one is as smart as Collingwood.
