Title: Veteran list
Post by: MADTIGER2010 on October 24, 2012, 06:19:21 PM
Is there a limit of how many players go on the veterans list? How many years of playing makes you a veteran and can they be at more than one club or does a veteran lose his status if he changed club? Could tuck go on the veterans list next year?

Veteran Players

Under AFL player rules, each club may nominate or list any number of what are called Veteran Players.

* In order to be eligible for classification as a Veteran a player must have been the age of 30 as at September 30 in the relevant AFL season and be on the primary list of the AFL club for at least 10 years.
   
* There is now no limit on the number of veteran players a club can list, as long as the player meets the required classification.

The AFL has also just changed the salary cap rules for veterans:

The old veterans' list rules allowed clubs to put half a player's wage outside the salary cap, but teams can next year decide to exclude $112,000 from the cap per veteran.

He loses his veteran status if he changes clubs. As it says you have to be one the primary list at the one club for at least 10 years.

Could tuck go on the veterans list next year?
Next year will be Tucky's 10th year on our primary list so I'm presume he'll be eligible for veteran list status in 2014 if he plays on the year after next.

Thanks for that. Would be nice if Tuck could be a vet in 2013 with Newman to open up another spot on the senior list  :laugh:

A vet only opens a spot on the senior list if he's put 'outside' of it. Newy is currently still 'inside' the senior list so he isn't freeing up a spot despite being a vet.

If a vet is put outside the senior list then you lose a rookie list spot for every vet outside the senior list. With the AFL reducing the number of rookies back down to just 4 then having too many vets could cost you rookies that actually make it.

Oh I see. What's the most we can have on the senior list? 38?
If we add Aaron Edwards we may have to delist another player

So we can only have a maximum of 4 rookies?

What's the point in stating that a veteran is inside the primary list?

So when Newman becomes a veteran OUTSIDE the list, $112,000 will be taken off his annual payment? ie: $250,000 - $112,000 = $138,000 (this will be included in the salary cap?)

If you need some cap space you nominate a player as a veteran, if you need the rookie spaces you place them on the Veteran's List.  I could easily be wrong but that's how I read the rules anyway:

Don't think White would be de-listed, seeing he's been offered a new contract as stated in another thread

Would think if there is to be anymore de-listings it would come from those yet to offered a new contract  ;D

See ya...................? ? ?  :rollin

AFL in their wisdom still haven't finalised the number of rookies clubs can have for 2013 - there's talk of a reduction but hasn't been set in stone. We currently have 2 spaces taken with Darrou & Verieer (sp?) and 1 international rookie that's not included on our rookie list. So if it goes back to 4 we only have 2 spots left

I'm not sure if 38 is the maximum you can have on a senior list or not. Anyone know? Don't think we should be thinking about Edwards when we need a ruckman 10 times more. Take him as a rookie only please

38 is the maximum. At the moment we have 4 spots free on our senior list so we can use 4 National draft picks or if we so wish 3 National draft picks plus one in the PSD but IMO we won't bother with the PSD this year.

I know it's the Herald-Sun but they reported the 4 rookie limit will be in for this draft period.

Yeah I read that but it seems the clubs are complaining and are trying to get it to remain the same as this year

Speaking of rookies, it will be interesting who we pick up. The last two years Miller got the elevation. If it's down to four spots and provided we have two free spots, I wonder how the club will go about. Will we rookie a mature age or project ruck? Unless we draft one then I assume so, and then what? Another midfielder? We have a line of KPs (quality subjective) and Darrou already with a year under his belt, and a young mid may develop quicker. Then who does everyone think will get promoted? Remembering a rookie ruck could be elevated at will if needed should one of our rucks go down. May we get a good look at Verrier this year?

I can't remember if it was Cameron or Hartley or someone else from the Club but it was alluded that we'd be after ready-made players (eg: from state leagues) for our rookie list.

Is Edwards going on the senior or rookie list? With all the talk about picking up experienced rookies you would think Edwards would be a rookie. A player who was about to be delisted by north. A depth player who will come in for an injured tall forward

I still won't be at all shocked if they rookie BrownE.

Senior list. You cannot trade for rookies.

Me either. In all honesty he's probably best available and ready to go.

Including Knights, Chaplin and Edwards we'll have 35 on the senior list. Then put newman on veterans list and we have 4 vacancies on senior list for national draft. Would like to see Post given at least 1 year. Has just as much potential as Griffiths, Astbury and Derrickx

I would be very surprised

if they keep DerrickX (which looks likely) then I reckon it wont happen

think they will rookie a mature age ruckman

Yep, another four years in the system and we might be able to make a call on Postie.
