I’m so confused with the rules now. He was rookied in 2019 and then got a contract extension but does that mean he is automatically on the main list? I thought that meant he had to be upgraded in 2020?Sin i think Chol is on the main?
Got a 2 year extension ...

I really am not sure
Wasn't Aarts named as an emergency for a game this year?Reckon aartsy fartsy will come good
at least 1Wasn't Aarts named as an emergency for a game this year?
No. If we offer a contract and it is rejected he would have to go into the draft. Same as Jack Martin.I assume that if we offer menadue a contract and he refuses it we would have to delist him and he could go to Freo as a delisted free agent? If that is true it’s pretty unfair

Ok that makes senseNo. If we offer a contract and it is rejected he would have to go into the draft. Same as Jack Martin.
Tho i assume we could still choose to delist him to allow him to choose where he goes.
He was in the rookie list for 2 years which is why we had to re rookie him last year , so now 3 years and I thought that was the maximum time anyone could be a rookie? I may be totally wrong about that.Now I’m confused
Someone will clarify for us, but I think he has been on the rookie list for some years.
I’m sure the rules changed again so maybe , oh, I don’t know now Sin!

Because he has a new contract my assumption was that we had to use a draft pick to put him on the main list but again I could be wrong about that too !
I believe this is a possibility. It’s all so confusing. He could refuse our offer (if there were one) and take his chances as a delisted free agent. Or if not taken as a DFA he could hope for the ND or the PSD or rookie drafts.I assume that if we offer menadue a contract and he refuses it we would have to delist him and he could go to Freo as a delisted free agent?

From THAT website:In limbo: There was some interest from Fremantle in Connor Menadue who could still land at the Dockers as a delisted free agent. Young duo Jake Aarts and Derek Eggmolesse-Smith will be retained at Punt Road, but premiership player Jacob Townsend looks unlikely to remain at the club. Callum Moore is still waiting to learn his fate.
Its really hard to work out the figures because whoever is responsible for the club list is hopeless.Playing list can be either:
38 primary. 6 cat A rookies, 3 cat B rookies
39 primary. 5 cat A rookies, 3 cat B rookies
40 primary. 4 cat A rookies, 3 cat B rookies
I would assume that we will have to upgrade Stack, Baker and Pickett to the primary playing list. Back to 38 players. Leaving us only 2 picks available for the National draft, to hit the maximum of 40 primary list players, unless Miller, Moore or Menadue are delisted and re-drafted as rookies?
Nah. Something in the system farted mine were all up *smile* creek this morning, but they're fine now.Have I done something to my settings so the posts are now NOT in chronological order?
Thus we had - pre Pickett - 38, 6 cat A, and 1 cat B (Smith).
So if we presume that we were at capacity with Grigg then the only way it makes sense is that we upgraded a player to allow room in the rookie.
If that's true then Stack, Baker or Chol may have been upgraded before they signed new contracts in August to take Grigg's spot and allow Pickett in the rookie.
So an extra rookie but no increase in total.nope I think the AFL was allowing mid season rookies on as an extra ‘rookies’
