Ah, see what you mean.

Thought you were alluding to go-home factor.

If you're just talking about companionship... surely it's cheaper and easier to just find some young girl to do that...

I always thought that Cat B rookies were not included in the total list of 44

Is that correct?

By my count we currently only have 3 cat A rookies, Gray, Lefau and Trezise and 1 Cat B in OHB

Do you know the rules? - Can Kellaway be put to CatB,  due to f/s . Or is that rumor incorrect?

Which would allow 3 picks tomorrow. Cheers

Someone else said;  you can at least pre nominate him and he goes on before the draft (?)

Just found this at https://www.afl.com.au/about-afl/rookie-players

FATHER-SON – ROOKIE PRE-SELECTION

The Father-Son Rule previously applied to players selected at the National Draft. Under the rule, other AFL clubs can bid for eligible players who have been nominated under the Father-Son Rule by an eligible club. The nominating club can select the eligible player by forfeiting its next available pick in the draft if a bid has been made by another club. If there is no bid from another club, the nominating club forfeits its last pick in the National Draft.

A club can pre-select an eligible player as a Category A rookie between the Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts (with the player’s consent) provided the player had nominated for but was not selected by another club at either the National or Pre-Season Drafts. In that case, the relevant club would forfeit its last available selection in the Rookie Draft to take the player.

My understanding is maximum list size including Primary list, Rookie A's & Rookie B's is 44. This is made up of a maximum Primary list & Rookie A's of 42 players plus a maximum of 2 Rookie B's:
We now have the maximum of 38 on the primary list which means we can have up to 4 Rookie A's of which we currently have 3 (Trzise, Lefau & Grey). That is, we have one vacancy on the Rookie A list. We also currently have one Rookie B (Hayse-Brown). Because no bids came in for Kellaway, I think we can him on the Rookie A list before the actual Rookie Draft which would fill our list to the maximum of 42. Our only vacancy then would be one Rookie B place.

Rookie B list isn’t for players like kellaway. It’s mainly for guys who are new to the sport and need plenty of development, they can’t play senior games while on the Cat B list either.

I’d bet they will announce they’ve picked up kellaway as a rookie sometime before the rookie draft starts.

They had multiple chances to take all the players we were linked to by the media i.e Phillipou and Kickett and took others instead.
