Well when they said we were targeting speed they wernt kidding. Profile of every player reads powerful and quick.

Saw this on reddit from our 4 draftees.

20m sprint results at combine:
Cumming 2.97s
Grlj 2.92s
Peuker 2.95s
NRT 2.91s

Grlj 5:59 2kmp

The fact that they traded back in to take him means they had him higher on their list and he’s slid atleast in their eyes. That’s a promising sign imo.

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.

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

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.

I said it because I heard it on the AFL  draft podcast,Kal Twomey  . He said father / sons who aren’t picked up can be listed as a cat2 ,I hope it’s correct,

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.

nothing like an underwhelming couple of midgets to round out the draft hahaha

honestly I hope he's got something I can't appreciate, don't know anything about him.

Looks like we're just going for mids/forwards which isn't a bad idea

He isn’t a midget
Literally 2cm between Cumming, Grlj and NRT
And the other kid is only a cm shorter
