No great surprise he wasn't at training - he has been training flat out for 5-6 weeks now at Melb.

Kid deserves a few days off  ;D

I reckon he will be back :thumbsup

Al Neville:

DOB 17/8/85


WP, does this qualify Al for a mature rookie in the 08 Rookie Draft, or does he qualify in 09  ?

I think it qualifies him in both years Darth. I think he will too old for the normal rookie listing next in 2008

MT would know :thumbsup

Thanks WP, now that Al has had consecutive pre-seasons at AFL clubs, hopefully he can maintain his consistency and improve some of his foot skills to get a crack at the mature age rookie.

MT, how has he responded to not being picked up in 07 ?

Will he be at Coburg next year ??

No idea as yet in regards to the last two questions Darth although he must feel disappointed. I don't think the VFL finals did him any favours as it showed up his ordinary disposal under pressure.

He's eligible this time next year to be picked up as a mature (23 y.o. or older at Jan 1) rookie as he's never been on a AFL list to my knowledge.

Intersting. I would hope in 2008; Johnson (30), Tuck (26), Cogs (25) are inside mids in their prime ready to go round 1. More so, I would hope King (24), Foley (22), Polo (21) could give them a hand.

Newman? Raines? Jackson? White? Deledio? Connors?

Was good to see Nat Caruso back for his first session with the ball last night after injuring himself in the GF.

He is in fantastic condition and looks set for a big year.

Hopefully with more talls and ruckmen on Richmond's list he won't be needed to ruck for Coburg anymore.
