Can any team now select Biggie and Cumberland as they’re uncontracted before we get a chance to pick them up in rookie draft?
Yes they can. Lets hope they don't.

OK, I dint inc Noah or Biggy as it hasn't happened yet, word around is someone may take Biggy before usYou have the same as me I think if you have 36.
The 37 I have stated includes Biggie and Cumberland as we will re-rookie so not really free list spots. I didn't include Mate in my numbers.
Technically its 35 plus Mate so 36 (of which we have 7 free spots)
Aarts has also had 3 years on rookie list & is contracted for 2022Ok this is what I have can you confirm if this is correct:
28 on main list plus Taz = 29.
6 Rookies: Mansell, Arts, Parker, Stack, Miller Pickett
35 list spots taken.
My understanding Stack and Pickett will need to be upgraded to senior list as they have had 3 years on the Rookie List.
Which now makes it:
31 Main List
4 Rookie
1 Cat B Rookie
So we have made the room to put Cumberland and Biggy onto Rookie list but have to risk other clubs picking them up. If we add them back now we have a total of 37 on the list which gives us 5 selections at the draft.
7,15,26,28,38,40 -
Most likely try and upgrade 38 and 40 to a higher selection or a future selection next year which would then give us 4 picks in this draft and a delisted free agent.
Aarts has also had 3 years on rookie list & is contracted for 2022
in 2021 , minimum requirement was 37 on main list, assume its the same for 2022, we currently have 29
Assume will will upgrade 2 from rookie list means we take 6 picks to the draft.
More likely we will upgrade 3, Melee, Pickett & Stack or Aarts & take 5 picks to draft & re rookie Biggy & Cumberland & leave a spot open for MSD
yes sorry, min 36 max 38 on main but min 37 all upI had it down as min was 36, max was 38. Rookies can be between 4 and 6 with total list sizes of 42 excluding Cat B rookies.
So 7 spots, like you say we will need to upgrade probably 2 (I think Aarts can remain on the rookie list for a 4th year, again another special one-off rule I think), so I think we have 5 list spots on the main list. 5 picks but as you say I don't think we use them all.
Who knows if the AFL have changed the rules, but rookies only get a 12 month contract, whereas those drafted in the national draft get a guarantee of two.Can anyone explain to me what the point of a rookie list is now ? You can play a rookie anytime with no restrictions.
I don't get what purpose it has anymore.
Think rookies get their base $ 80 k contract outside the cap??? Also can put them on one year contracts instead of the usual two.Can anyone explain to me what the point of a rookie list is now ? You can play a rookie anytime with no restrictions.

If he's been promised a rookie spot, he still gets a contract.Starting to question our list management.
There are a lot less talented players on our list than Cumberland and Biggy inc
Parker, Miller, Aarts, Cantstandya, Ross and Martyn.
Doesn’t make any sense that the untried kids get delisted and these guys get contracts
Yer, probably a dud but will get a gig in VFL or another 2nd tier comp somewhere. Quite young.No point being able to run if you can't find the footy.
