If we're winning, they'll want to stay and be a part. If you're gonna lose, might as well lose at home.
We need some hope.
All I could find was this:
Rookie Player not Bound to Club
A Rookie Player shall not be bound to a Club if he is listed on a Club’s Rookie List but
the parties do not enter into a Contract of Service. In such circumstances:
(a) the Player may play for a club competing in any competition other than the AFL
Competition; and
(b) the Player is eligible to be selected by any Club at the next National Draft
Selection Meeting if he nominates himself for the National Draft Selection
Meeting
So reading this, they play for us or they go back into the national draft. Have I misunderstood?

If this plays out that way, it's the stupidest draft pick and playing experience I've ever seen. Showed a bit at AFL level. Already a cut above above VFL.
All the points listed above were known at the midseason draft. Can't see it playing out that way. Blight has shown more than Bauer in three months.
Bauer has been very unlucky with injuries. Harsh to compare the fortunes of the two players.
Let’s not forget last year Bauer won 3 games after the siren off his own boot.
I like them both but they’re mid season draft picks and have to roll with the punches
What a F up. Someone has to wear it, is it Toce, is it Yze? Can't see a player being picked in the PSD without a plan.
If this plays out that way, another sign the club is not aligned on strategy.
If we lose or let Blight go it'd be a worry.
1. Young and Gibcus are coming back from ACL's. No guarantee they'll get through a full year in the seniors.
2. Our existing KPD's aren't exactly consistent. Young, Miller etc seem to go in and out of form.
3. Blight can also play forward which gives us an option in a part of the ground where we 'aint exactly flush with keys !

Spot on, If he goes, it's a huge sign that something is off at RFC. It's getting stinky.
West coast had a chance to get him and chose Jack Hutchinson instead. Not sure what’s changed so much they’d want him now.
How can something be off? Maybe he just wants to be near home/family/friends and doesn't like this cold city as most WA players say.
Yes, you're correct, my blue. I shoulda looked it up before commenting!
