I think Cumberland is lucky to get a rookie position.

From what the handful of his matches I've seen, Cumberland definitely showed some AFL traits but also some glaring deficiencies...jury still out for me but will need to take some big steps forward next year... :shh

He was in good form ( kicked a few goals) at the end of the year and the club said he was unlucky not to get a senior game . I thought he should have got a game over George and Arntts just to give us a look and give him some experience

Exactly what the rookie list is for.

Biggie has nominated for the draft (Cumberland on the other hand hasn't).

Thought you had to nominate for the draft to get drafted in either draft... could be wrong?

Does this mean Biggie is gone/up for grabs basically?

Most players in his situation have nominated. They are all up for grabs but hopefully it all works out and we rookie list him.

I actually thought any player who's been de-listed were automatically nominated for the draft

I am no longer on a Primary or Rookie list of an AFL Club but want to continue playing AFL football. What do I do?

You will have to re-nominate for the NAB AFL Draft.

They have to re nominate after being delisted so they can be picked back up, it’s as simple as that.

The interesting thing is Biggie has nominated for the National draft whereas Cumberland hasn't (I'm presuming Noah will nominate for the rookie draft). So Biggie could be drafted and poached by another club in the National draft.

Can you just nominate for the rookie draft? not sure you can.

This is what the AFL draft nomination booklet says:

Q: If I did not nominate for the NAB AFL Draft, can I then nominate for the NAB AFL Pre-Season and/or Rookie Draft?

A: No, because part of the eligibility criteria for the NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft and/or Rookie Draft is that a player must have been eligible for, but not selected at, the NAB AFL Draft. The only exception is a player who has been delisted from the Primary List by an AFL club, who can stipulate if their nomination form is to be held over for the Pre-Season Draft.

Unlike Biggie, Cumberland didn't nominate for the national draft. So I presume he stipulated that his nomination be held over to the PSD/rookie drafts.
