Which is why I thought Collingwood picking up Begg, who is out injured for the rest of the season, an odd move from them

Important that we added some KPF depth. Still need a lot more KPP and ruck depth, but it is a good start.

Rookie wages are not capped only national draft pick wages which are tied to the draft selection. Rookie salary is the minimum to be paid, plenty of guys going from main list to rookie list are being paid more than the minimum.

I like this introduction to Aussie Rules. Like to see the option to trade players next.

Biggest loser is Fremantle.
Not having a pick is total madness and lazy.

He’ll only play for Sturt when it’s against ports reserves.

Thats kinda awkward. This week he plays for port, following week plays for sturt against port!.
Imagine he wins the magary medal. From Sturt/Port!
Mid-season anomaly? AFL to look at rules on draftee contract terms
New Hawk Jai Newcombe may be the first and last mid-season rookie draftee to be able to nominate his own contract terms
It's all here mate.

No idea, best bet is the draft board’s MSD thread. Or cal twomey on the AFL site
Newcome had a Very Good Debut for the Hawks
Kangas need a win at the moment but long term I wouldn't want to see the MSD become the place where elite juniors are taken before the NSD.

I think you're right but it's luck really, Edwards was technically passed over by the whole league in two drafts (ND and Rookie) prior. It's why we specifically kept a pick open (and other clubs too), the Vic kids were sure to reveal one or two that were behind just through lack of exposure in 2020. I can't see it ever happening again.
It’s more likely than you think. Over age players have come from the clouds to be first round picks before.
Look at guys Issac Smith and Tim English in recent years

Sure, but they still need to be passed over in a draft prior. When that happens, it's just opportunist.
Unless I have that wrong and overagers go straight in?
They are not exactly common though, you have to back a decade for Smith.
Think it is good for the league if it happens. More talent coming in to the league and more ready made players coming in and having an impact for bottom teams speeding up the rebuilding process.

Hawks clearly in front at this early stage with Newcombe.
I understand some clubs played a bit of a longer game with their picks, but Duke looks a solid midfield prospect going forward.

Yeah but I doubt I’ve captured all of them those were just off the top of my head. Not to mention the post I was responding to said it would never happen again so twice in 10 years is a lot more than never.
Rory Lobb and Tim Kelly are other examples of early second round picks that would have been available in the mid season draft.
It does seem a bit of a grey area considering the Blues got an exemption to draft Mirkov who didn’t nominate.
Overall I think it’s likely that pick 1 in the mid season draft is going to be worth on average around a late second round/early third round pick.
Other than the 4 players I’ve already mentioned there’s guys Bailey Fritsch, Liam Ryan and Sam Collins who’d all be very beneficial players to a rebuilding side.
Not sure if Tim English really counts here given he missed out on the 2015 draft due to a technicality, rather than actually being overlooked by recruiters.
