    Murphy wasn't nominated as a Academy player the Swans had their eye on in May. I think that means he is not eligible to be taken under that concession.

    If they were looking to put him on the senior list (which would surprise me - he looks more like a potential rookie listee) the bidding process for Academy and FS prospects is the same anyway, so they might just as well nominate him as FS, which means that the May nomination was irrelevant.

    Not sure what the rules are regarding putting Academy / FS players on the rookie list. Scholarship players can be put straight onto the rookie list if they agree to it, but they are not subject to the bidding process.

        All Eastern Conference finals will be at Manuka. The "Super Bowl" is rumoured to be in the NT but that's not confirmed.

          Thanks Al, it is a shame that st least this weeks game is not played at the SCG but I guess it is understandable

            They could have at least put the game on a Sunday so it didn't clash with the seniors. I've done some decent km's this year to follow the Ressies and it steams me that I have to miss a semi final.

            Hopefully though there'll be a Grand Final to travel to in 2 weeks.

              I think there may have been a good chance of the game being in Sydney this weekend if GWS had climbed into 2nd. I had an email drafted to GWS if they beat the Suns a fortnight ago to lobby the NEAFL to allow them to play the semi as the curtain raiser to the Brisbane game. Obviously the Swans would have been wrapped about it, but you'd imagine GWS would be just as happy to stay in Sydney and give their kids a taste of the SCG.

              Alas, wasn't to be.

                Father -Son and Academy players go through the same bidding process.

                The clubs get together beforehand to decide on a players draft ranking and get the relevant club to bid thereby stopping you getting a Father-Son cheaply.

                If we have say pick 21 as our first pick this year , one of the clubs with pick 19 or 20 will bid that for Tom Mitchell forcing us to use our next pick which will be 21 to select him. Bulldogs got a bonus last year as they got young Liberatore for pick 40 ish when he would have gone around 20-25 if he was available in the draft because they were forced to take Wallis with their first pick around 22.

                We could nominate Kane Murphy as a F-S but he probably wouldn't be valued that highly by other teams and they may not put in a bid meaning we may be able to get him for a pick in the 80s or 90s, free basically. That's what happened to Brennan at the Weagles last year, no bids so they used their last pick in the 60s to snare him.

                From what I hear, Murphy is worth a punt and he does have red and white blood in him!

                  Update on score in ACT. Swans 9.2.56 - Ainslie 4.4.28, 10 mins into the 2nd qtr. Will continue to update (but totally reliant on mole in stands @ Manuka!)

                          You both have the same mole by the looks of it.
