Happy to hear we're not letting a trifling detail like ineligibility get in our way.
They both did. They're eligible. Can re-draft delisted players if they nominated for draft.Did neither of them nominate for last year's draft or just rookie draft?

They're both eligible for other clubs, but for some reason the AFL isn't allowing clubs to draft players they delisted the previous year.
"Any player delisted at the end of 2018 cannot be re-selected by the club that delisted them, unless they nominated for last year's NAB AFL Draft."My read is Heaps of fun is correct which is why I wondered if they were in the main draft (I believed they were).
He played predominantly as a centre half-back before switching into the ruck the last two seasons, but has returned to his defensive roots in 2019 while still rucking where required.
Kelly's intercept marking and blazing speed for his size – he runs sub-three seconds for 20m – are his strengths and he's featured in the best players in three of his four matches this year.

Rather look at another mid than Mountford but we should be taking two at the least, probably three picks in this draft. Could do Jacobs, EVW and McKenzie and bet on three guys being done for the year (or Daw and Walker not making it back in 2019) before they return.In that's case we should relist Mountford in place of Benny Jacobs, and Hugo Munn in place of EVW. On the off chance Benny is fit this year chances are someone like McKenzie will be able to be placed on the LTI list.
Look this is all well and good, but I have a couple of questions:
-What was his ATAR result
-Does he have even a basic understanding of negative gearing
-Is he eligible for the first home buyer's grant
We just don't have the time to bring him up to speed. Market prices are levelling out somewhat, it's a buyer's market out there.
Surely given our current position you'd hope we take the player with the greatest long term upside irrespective of immediate impact? No reason we can't have both of course if we make the smart decision with regards to 1-2 of Jacobs/Walker/McKenzie, but you can guarantee that's what Clarkson/ Beveridge will be doing. Richmond have already retired Grigg.We need one that's ready right now.
His had a couple of injury issue, needs to bulk up a little, genuine slider..I believe we are looking for a HBF that has potential to play midfield once his tank is brought up to speed in 10 years.

I know his parents very well, his dad was a genius footballer and his mum was a great bballer.Plays for Subi, he's a star

Quality people.
Agreed. Even if they end up not being up to it and are gone in 6 months. Need to get a look at some new players.If the club has any balls it would retire Scott Thompson or more realistically, place Walker or Wilkinson onto the LTI list and take a second pick into the mid season draft.
Will Walker PCL Indefinite
Tom Wilkinson Ankle 7-9 weeks
Are you sure about that?They are.
Why should Scott Thompson be the one to commit Hari Kiri for the club? He's professional, a good leader, been in decent form and coming off a strong season.
Probably in better condition than most of the blokes 10 years younger than him on the list.
The delusion of youth, and the fallacy of AFL development.
Thommo's output so far this year is good enough to get another contract for next year.
