    Not sure, but I had heard that us and Brisbane could only use all the pre-selected rookies if we used all the live picks.

    I would assume it is a way for the AFL to make sure that we don't just bypass the rookie draft and pre-select NSW rookies only.

      You may be right, though I don't see any logic in it if it is correct. If the Swans decide, for whatever reason, that they don't want to take their full quota of rookies, wouldn't the AFL be keener for them to take more NSW boys than non-NSW boys (from a game growth point of view). Wouldn't seem to make sense to discourage the Swans (or Lions) from doing so if that is what they wanted.

              Bit of a surprise that Port went for Harding - I wonder where that leaves Cloke.

              Also surprising was the Bombers taking Hardingham, considering he's been training with Freo and they were expected to Rookie him.

                Late mail is that Ablett, of the Luke variety, won't be going to the Gold Coast and may be redrafted by the Swans - can't see it happening, but you never know.

                  For once the mail was good (at least partly so far) - no Ablett to GC.

                  We've taken Playfair with our first pick as a mature age rookie. Guess that means no Panos.

                    Playfair pick 10

                    Why use our first pick on him - never going to be touched by anyone else

                      We used our first rookie pick on Playfair. We obviously don't rate the available talent and must be satisfied with our NSW picks.

                        Totally agree, could have used our last pick on him

                              Further to this story - Freo took Michael Barlow with their first pick in the Rookie Draft, and he was training with Essendon. Perhaps some Adam McPhee induced tit-for-tat.

                                What an anticlimax - the only suspense left now is whether we have pre-selected McNeil and Crichton.
