Brennan, Beckmans delisted

I thought we had a good scholarship player ready to draft (Nathan Something?)...obviously not as the other scholarship elevations are listed in the AFL list.

Also we have Pyke and Coney(?) as international rookies so that leaves just 3 Senior and 3 Rookie picks.

Three regular rookie picks plus three NSW priority picks. Pyke counts outside the quota as a true international rookie but Coney is included in the total quota (to keep the GAA happy).

Maybe talking about Nathan Gordon from East Coast who played in the twos premiership. Can Liz shed any further light?

According to the AFL site, these nominations occur later:

December
Tuesday, December 2 (10am) -- Nomination of scholarship-listed player and international scholarship-listed player to rookie list.
Tuesday, December 2 (10am) -- Nomination of an international player and a player not registered for three years.

I don't know why the other clubs listed them earlier.

He's the one who appears to be eligible, based on his DOB on the RAMS website. Can't shed any more info other than what's been written here before by the likes of ORB (big fan), Triple B, or myself. Check out ORB's match report on the reserves GF, or an excellent detailed post, again from ORB of a few weeks ago. Think it might be in the "how many will be delisted?" thread.

AFAIK there have been no rumblings from the club either way on whether he is likely to be rookied this year - assuming he is, indeed, eligible. But then there's been an overall lack of any kind of utterances from the club re list composition / delistings / comments on players departed etc.
