Wait how can we pick him up as DFA? He delisted himself by not accepting the Powers contract?
Someone will draft him before that surely? Young midfielder already with AFL pre-seasons under his belt, he's not lasting till 40.Most likely pick 40. Unless we delist another player before PSD

He shouldn't be a DFA though because he turned down a contract offer from Port, his only avenue should be the drafts.Its a quirk of the rules. (i think this is how it works)
We can add him to our list straight as of Saturday when the Delisted Free Agency period begins if he agrees to sign with us (fingers crossed he does)
We then would need to de list another player at the next list lodgement
Geelong are going to most likely do the same with Sam Blease.

He only went pick 35
Also just like luke ball he will get where he wants

As I said,
It is a quirk of the rules.
You can de list yourself - if you are out of contract

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
Primary List
Players delisted by a club are unrestricted free agents but a player who retires or delists himself is not eligible to be a free agent.
Players who are not in the top 25 per cent of salaries at their club (that is, in the club’s top nine-10 paid players) are eligible for unrestricted free agency if they have served at least eight years with the club.
Rookie List
A rookie list player who retires is not eligible to be a free agent.
A first-year rookie not receiving a second-year rookie contract offer is considered a delisted player and therefore is an unrestricted free agent.
A first-year rookie not accepting a second-year rookie contract offer is not considered a delisted player and must nominate and go through the draft.
A second-year rookie not accepting a third-year rookie contract offer is considered a delisted player and therefore is an unrestricted free agent.
No it isn't, from the AFL website.
The bold.
Great news because Membrey has also been delisted and is a DFA.
Given its power-packed midfield, Port — which offered the out-of-contract Newton a one-year deal — was happy to let him pursue opportunities elsewhere and delisted him to allow him to become eligible for delisted free agency.
That article makes it sound like we're very likely to get him, if he has indeed elected us. Stoked. As soon as I heard that he'd left Port I thought he's exactly what we need. Big clearance machine who can actually kick. Port have one of the best midfields in the comp and he was the next cab off the rank for them. Says a bit.

The delisted free agency rule is just about the only good thing to come out of free agency. That and McCartin kicking 1000 goals for us.
Yesterday's news old bean. I reckon his career was finished once we got Kent who can do all the same things at a good pace.Tapscott delisted.
