It's one prospect from how many years? Look at Freo, the SA teams, etc and they all have far more prospects running around.

Missed the rookie draft. Assuming we took Murley and then passed so we have an open SSP?
Did we end up preselecting Ashwin as a cat B NGA player?

Oh, we did elevate Ginni in the end. Interesting. I wonder if they have their eyes on someone

Pretty sure once we passed on our final pick in the ND we had no choice but to elevate Ginni in order to fulfil our minimum primary list requirements.

Ginni deserves elevation in any case.
When you consider what he's achieved so far, he'll hopefully use it as a launching pad for greatness.
Re drafting Murley was a given, and I think Wilson showed enough before his back injury to suggest he could turn into a good player.

Love Ginni but give Wilson an almost zero chance. He and Begg gonski next year..
Agree, would want to see some big development steps from both boys next year, the very least dominant at VFL level week in week out.

No doubt you have caught up now. Yes, Ginnivan elevated to senior list so we have 36 spots. Murley now a Cat A. We have a vacant Cat A spot and it wouldn't surprise me if we just hold it until the MSD rather than use it on the SSP.
Ashwin was not taken so we still have one vacant Cat B spot.

They just need to get rid of the separate rookie list. Just make it a list of 42. No idea why they give the salary cap incentive to have 6 on the rookie list. They could make the fifth round and beyond of the draft a one year contract rounds if they want to get some different types taken.

Forgive my ignorance; we have a vacant Cat A spot… but the SSP is for players to be directly senior-listed… yes?
EDIT: Nope, I’m wrong, both the SSP and MSrD are to add players as rookies. The difference is that one is directly adding players, the other you have to wait your turn in a draft (of sorts).

No, they can go on the rookie list too. You just need a vacant list spot.

Thanks, I found an article and so edited my post. Makes sense now.
Once again we have re-drafted a player - Cooper Murley - who with his height & weight will never make it in the AFL. Now all of my mates - both Collingwood & non-Collingwood - are amazed by the recruiting team's all most fundamentalist aversion to taking a punt on at TALL & EXPERIMENTAL young player even at the back-end of the draft as was the case with Carlton & Harry Lemmey. I just do not see what the strategy is? Wait until we finish in the bottom 3 & then go for a young forward. Even earlier today, Dane Swan said the most important players on the ground are key forwards. I reckon that our rubber deficiency in this area will once again hit the road - against us - when the big games take place in 2023.
I totally agree with your very good post. We seem to have this ingrained aversion to taking a punt on a young Key Forward. But if it is a mid-fielder or a half-back flanker or a back pocket or a utility, then there are never any 2nd thoughts. Personally I hope that the young kid Lemmey who Carlton took a punt on with a late selection & Keeler who St Kilda chose also with a relatively late selection both go well & prove the neer sayers on this site to go & take a good hard look at themselves.
But we do not have any on the list below the age of 22! I mean even Ash Johnson - who is not a big hulking few forward - will be approximately 25 soon, if not already while McStay is 27 & Mihocek is approaching if not already in his 30's. So we are not carrying any! Your argument is flawed.

He’s as tall as Elliott and Josh Daicos, taller than Bobby Hill.
hes in the fast small richmond mould which is our gameplan

Upset me no end that did, I do not think we have a backup ruck option and we seem very loathe to find one. I know we are being told all the time we have these tall options but the reason they are just options is because they are too small or not good enough.

agree, i like Beggs enthusiasm, but if he cant start clunking marks around the ground or develop into a key back, his time may be limited. Wilson shows a little bit, but nothing to say he would be in our first selected side, so time is ticking for him too.
Murley started the year off ok, but wilted away by the end of the it. have to remember he missed a lot of the previous year due to injury. has speed, nice skills, just needs to find it a bit more.
Carlton, Footscray and Hawthorn had good supply lines.
