Know this is tongue and cheek, but it was probably due to limited list spots or the list manager wanted to have spare list spots.I'm glad you clear that up. I never understood why 19 (Franklyn comp) ended up elsewhere. now i know.
24 was Billy Hartung 59 was Jon Ceglar rookie elevation

A little off-topic but this sounds like a great trade by St. Kilda, just wanting to know who they drafted with those 2 first round picks? Savage has been good for them.

When did Zak Jones go back to Sydney?With the retirement of Josh Bruce and Paddy McCartin, I believe the responsibility of adding to this list lies with Carlton (Blake Acres) & Sydney (Zak Jones, Tom Hickey). Multiple injuries could pave the way for Melbourne (Luke Dunstan) but unlikely. The same alllies for Brisbane (Darragh Joyce).
Even more unlikely when he was one of those injured....Multiple injuries could pave the way for Melbourne (Luke Dunstan ) but unlikely.
