Dropping Bags now would be like kicking Phar Lap in the dick.

A bit stiff?

Will probably get a contract for 2019 but if EFC trade well then he may be in trouble.

 

[Highly Evolved]

Deserves a year. Fantastic clubman, great team player and a fantastic role player.

 

[Bombers36]

Heard or read somewhere he wont be offered a contact until AFTER trade period - so does that mean he's first to be cut of the un-contracted players if he trade well i wonder...??

Yeah if we get Jack Martin, could be see ya later.

 

[Ambrosia]

Probably deserves 1 more year based on his play but I struggle to justify it from list standpoint

 

[BrunoV]

Should be signed up for another year so playing him this year made sense.

Could also mean they don’t no how much money they will have available to offer him

The new Josh Green.

 

[bombreys]

I can only imagine they're waiting to see if we can get Martin.

The new Josh Green.

Greeny is irreplaceable.

Delisted, to be re-rookied:

UTILITY Mark Baguley is set to play on with Essendon in 2019, but only after being delisted and re-rookied.

AFL.com.au understands the 31-year-old will be retained as a rookie by the Bombers to ensure an eighth AFL season next year.

Deployed as a forward in the latter stages of 2018, Baguley notched 20 games and was in the Bombers' best and fairest top 10 after 19 rounds.

Following the delistings of Brendon Goddard, Josh Green and Jackson Merrett and departure of Travis Colyer to Fremantle, Baguley is set to be rewarded with another season.

Taken as a mature-age rookie selection ahead of the 2012 season, Baguley has played 124 games in seven seasons, mostly in defence.

It comes after defender Michael Hartley re-signed for 2019, while No.2 ruckman Matthew Leuenberger is edging closer to a re-commitment with the club.

Other Bombers awaiting decisions on their future include Jake Long, Ben McNiece, Trent Mynott and Matt Dea.

With the acquisition of Dylan Shiel set to bolster the Bombers' midfield, the Bombers enter the draft at pick 34, while also holding selections 66 and 84.

Rookie listing a 124 game 31 old player seems like a mockery of the system

I was honestly expecting to do that with Houlahan if anybody. Could we be promoting Mynott or Draper?

Delisted, to be re-rookied:

No mention of it on the clubs site or via email though so it's an unconfirmed report.

I mean, it's on the league website, they probably know things

 

[wba1977]

Huge second half of the year. Underated by many the impact that he had when went forward. Should have gotten a year on the main list as far as I am concerned.

 

[Zach Package]

All it does is shift our last pick in the draft forward by 20 odd picks. Shows we rate the draft

 

[Eleven 38]

What on earth is a rookie list these days?
It needs to be scrapped or renamed.

The name "rookie" is the joke. Call it a supplementary listed player.

Agreed. Supplementary List it is. Makes much more sense.

Let's start a massive guerilla marketing campaign and bring justice to old rookies everywhere.

Nah.

He is a rookie...

To the rookie list.
