      He's training at Footscray.

        I would even go so far to say that the beaches area is a beast of its own! Maroubra and Paddington are worlds apart :P

          Thanks in advance
          You don't need to subscribe to the Herald sun, all their articels appear on the Telegraph and Adelaide now websites and there's no paywall.

            It seems an eternity since any NSW kids were drafted, I just hope the academies start producing players soon.

              It is so confusing as the terminology used in the rule change is very vague other than to say 2013. whoever maintains the AFL Website is hopeless. Half the rules are not even posted on the site. You have to go looking for them in the search engine.

                With Academy players can we take all of them in the rookie draft Liz? In other words Rampe, Naismith & Jack are all academy players can we Rookie Draft them plus Richards & Joel Tippett? This is so confusing.

                  How many picks are we going to use? I can see a few passes so we can cover the Tippett salary.

                    Agreed. I had to go elsewhere to find out what the mini-draft was all about. There was nothing about the signing of delisted free agents. You'd think with the effort that they're putting in to keep the game in the press all year round with drafts, trades etc that they'd have something on their website that explained everything very clearly.

                      Appearance over substance, that's the AFL for you,

                        You want something as confusingly complex as drafting rules explained clearly? I take my hat off to those in the clubs that can navigate their way through the drafting rules maze.

                          So as of today, the Swans have the fewest players on their main list at 37 and hoping that Tippett makes it 38. Some other clubs are already at the maximum 40 plus 4 rookies so won't be calling out any names next Tuesday.

                          If we only take Tippett in the PSD, we are eligible to take up to a further 5 rookies. I really hope we do take at least another 3 or 4 as there has been a lot of very good players appear off rookie lists and I wouldn't like to think we won't take close to our full allocation.

                              I really hope we recruit Brandon. Never seen him play, so it is just the romance of it
                              You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler
