How can Jed Adcock be selected as a rookie? What a farce the rookie draft has turned into. Just make the AFL Draft another 5 rounds longer and lists with no rookies already.

You've only just discovered the rookie draft exists I see. Only last year Schneider, Krakouer, Kane Lucas, Greg Broughton and Tony Armstrong were taken as so called rookies.How can Jed Adcock be selected as a rookie?

Why wouldn't he be allowed to be selected in the rookie draft?
It's only called the rookie draft because those players go on to the rookie list, not that they have to necessarily be rookie players.
So the list is poorly named.
Some of those players I can understand... but not all. The rookie system was created for rookies, not guys who have previously captained their club.You've only just discovered the rookie draft exists I see.

Does it really matter how a player is selected?? I'm not sure what your point really is.Some of those players I can understand... but not all. The rookie system was created for rookies, not guys who have previously captained their club.

It should be called the 'Supplementary list' and the 'Supplementary draft'.
It is silly calling it a rookie draft.
It's a name. Rookie/supplementary who really cares? Regardless of the name it has the same function which everyone knows.
Like I said, whoever really cares?

Names are important. It's no longer a rookie list and shouldn't be called as such. Apparently we're about to re-list Sam Ried as a rookie. He's been the captain of our NEAFL team for a couple of years with a coaching role thrown in. To call him a "rookie" is beyond ridiculous.
A supplementary player (available IF injury hits the seniors) but a "rookie"? Not in a million years.
Bad example compared to the Op's Adcock. How many games has ried played? I think you will find 0.
In terms of a professional AFL player he is a rookie. Just because he has played football in the NEAFL doesn't change the fact he is a rookie.
He is the definition of a rookie!
He played 10 for the Dogs between 2008-2011 and 14 for us in 2012-2013
You're seriously suggesting that someone who debuted in 2008 and has played for two clubs and been an assistant coach at one is a rookie?
Dude- go have a look at a dictionary.
