Mate's not costing a spot so why wouldnt you persist? They can obviously see something.
Interesting to see what they see, but I'd rather give Mutaz or Lefau his spot.
Lynch looking very unlikely this year.
I expect Short to be back for Melbourne game.

We can’t. We can have up to 3 Cat b rookies. There are specific criteria that make them eligible and they don’t tick them including the first one which is they haven’t been registered in a Aussie Rules comp the three years prior to being rookied.
He is costing a spot, might only be a rookie spot but it’s a spot on the list that someone more capable and productive could be providing better value.
Clubs can have up to 3 Cat B rookies on their list, so if the club had anyone in mind for the other 2 spots then they would have been filled.
Seeing that they're still vacant, Colina isn't taking a spot from anyone.
But he's not. We have 2 free Cat B rookie spots we can use if we choose to as you are allowed 3 and we only have 1. The only thing he is costing us a bit of salary cap.
The way I read it is that unless we had three other cat b rookies we wanted to put on the list then he isn’t taking anyone’s spot.
Have the rules changed on cat b rookies now being included within the salary cap? Last I heard it wasn't, from my understanding cat b rookies don't cost anything (draft capital, salary, spot on list) apart from the resources used on the individual player.
Here are the criteria for a Cat B rookie via the AFL website:
In addition to these six rookie-listed players, each club can include up to three additional players (now referred to as Category B rookies) on its Rookie List provided the player either:
• has not registered in an Australian Football competition for three years immediately before inclusion on the Rookie List;
• is an international player, meaning he is not an Australian citizen and has not lived in Australia for a substantial period;
• is a former NSW Scholarship player with that club;
• is a former International Scholarship player with that club;
• is a rookie Zone Selection for clubs based in NSW or Queensland.

I'm not sure if Cat B rookies come out of the salary cap or the soft cap, but bearing in mind you get an increase to your salary cap of $80k per rookie, I'd be surprised we were out of pocket by much if anything.
Shorty could well be back V Hawks, but like you said more likely V dees.
Still, hold out hope for Lynch, and if make the finals watch out but if Lynch isn't back then I would look to put Gibcus up forward and partner with Jack.
He has that high heap and would be a dangerous proposition up forward.
