"The St Kilda Football Club has today confirmed initial changes to its playing list ahead of the 2017 list-lodgement deadline.

Rookie listed player Nick Coughlan and international scholarship holder Joe Baker-Thomas have not been offered new contracts for the 2018 season...."

Remove Nick Coughlan.
Insert Nick Coffeild

Sad for those guys, JBT seems like a really nice kid and hope he gets to play VFL, he was starting to come along let I heard. Cogs showed a bit early on, he was good v the Roos in the NAB a couple of years ago.

News on Lonie, Savage, O'Kearney and Holmes coming soon.

Hope that Savage survives, he was good in the last third of the season.

 

[Ekomaira]

surely Savage and NOK survive

Do you know what they are doing with them? Hope Sav is re contracted at a minimum. Lonie would be silly to let go now too IMO.

His output went from "fair" at VFL, down to "Ordinary" at development level.
He probably needed to lift his act this season, but injuries didn't do him any favours there.
He may still get there if he does a decent job in VFL over the next couple of years.

As a rookie its hard to think what more O'Kearney could have done to earn a spot.

 

[PrinceofSeaford]

Lonie>Sav

Won't know till after trades are done on NOK so October.

You talking today or late on?

Sav gets another deal. Lonie has been looking elsewhere, so I don't know where that ends up.

 

[George]

Most likely late on

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Perhaps we should keep rumours and speculation out of this thread.

 

[Saint Watto]

I certainly do too......very pleasantly surprised how he finished off the season.

You would imagine that they are going to be given a sh*t sandwich of some description - told they will be offered up for trade?

In whats supposed to be a year of thin talent draft wise, you would think NOK at least gets another year on the rookie list.

Has to be drafted for 2 years or delisted been a rookie 2 years.
I personally want him even if we pay out a contract but he cant stay a rookie

Think its 3 now but you could be a rookie for 10 years if you are delisted and then rookied again.

Thought it was 3 for international 2 for regular.
Re-rookie listing him doesn't seem a great plan if we rate him and if we don't why bother but if it works it works

I would definitely leave O'Kearney on the rookie list for his third (and final) year on the rookie list, given that he seems to be a bit of a ball magnet at VFL level. As of next year, it appears that rookie listed players can be upgraded at any time throughout the season so all he would need would be a couple of really good games for Sandy, coinciding with a couple of injuries to senior players and we might get to see him in Saints colours. Half the battle is just getting your hands on the footy, and he has at least got that part covered.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

What was the list status of this Baker-Thomas kid? Doesn't seem to have been a formal Cat B Rookie as best I can tell - how does that work? Was he eligible to play seniors or was it more of an Academy deal?

yeah he's a really skinny kid so he was never going to be a quick out of the blocks type. Hopefully he's bulking up.

Sad to see Coughlan get the axe, he hasn't had a good run at it since he was 14 about the poor bastard.
