When did that occur?

It has not happened yet.
However, Michael was not delisted before the Lions were required to supply their 1st list lodgment with the AFL.
The intention may be to keep him. If so, he has to be upgraded at some stage.

 

[M Malice]

Carter Michael looked ok in his one and only senior game in 2022.

 

[Miller1971]

Reville would be a Cat B Rookie wouldn't he? Replacing White's young bloke.

Dunkley being elevated has to be a laugh.

 

[Nathan Barley]

We must have some sort of agreement to have at least 1 pair of brothers on the list

has looked like a solid B grade VFL level player, just keep him on as a top up player for the reserves.

If we want another mid on the list I would be taking one in the draft, Kane McAuliffe would be ideal.

Reville would be a Cat B Rookie wouldn't he? Replacing White's young bloke.

Dunkley being elevated has to be a laugh.

Presuming we take him as a Qld prelisted rookie, he'll be able to be a Cat B. By far the most likely scenario.

would need to tear it up if it means you have to take Kyle Dunkley. There are 20 mids in the QAFL better than him

It is safe to say that you could easily make the argument that the club perhaps is pandering to the players that are older players of far less average brothers by listing them when they really should have been completely overlooked. Tom Berry, Blake Coleman and now Kyle Dunkley aren’t AFL quality players yet the club feels the need to waste list spots by listing them.

 

[briztoon]

My guess is Kyle will be a one year place holder until next year’s draft.

I have faith in the club that Tom Berry and Blake Coleman would have been drafted on their merits, Blake was actually a matched bid so other club/s were interested, Tom was also rated by a few draft pundits.

Kyle Dunkley and Lockie Rayner are only VFL top ups so don't see too much of a problem with that(they look good enough for that level of footy to my eye), not as though they are taking up an AFL list spot.

FWIW I am against putting Kyle on our AFL list, there are multiple better mature age midfield options that I saw playing against us in the VFL that would be better options IMO.

I didn’t list Cam’s brother because he was purely a VFL player that even still was missing out when our list was pretty healthy. I assume he went and played QAFL when not playing reserves, not sure how that part of the reserves works.

would have preferred to just give mathieson another year than rookie dunkley

Time for Rhys to move on. He & the club has tried to get him to another AFL club for the last 2 years now without any interest from anyone so (in my opinion) time for him to look at his footy and everyday life differently now.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Admittedly I didn’t catch every game, but I thought Dunkleys last half to the year was pretty good. Played a different role to Matho and probably covers the ground better.

 

[Miller1971]

Realistically, neither of them are AFL footballers.

Better off going to the draft, or topping up with a mature ager from the VFL like Reville, or even the prolific Jacob Dawson

(or Boyd Woodock) from Southport.

I've long felt both those guys deserve another opportunity at AFL level, especially Woodcock who has AFL attributes in spades.

Was on the money with Reville but Dunkley scoop lost momentum with leader’s approval apparently.

What does that mean?

 

[Dalions]

Was on the money with Reville but Dunkley scoop lost momentum with leader’s approval apparently.

Or maybe we just decided to take an extra player in the draft?

 

[Still Me]

What does that mean?

Not sure there was a ground swell of support from Club leaders to elevate him onto main list is what I meant.

 

[Nathan Barley]

But there was from recruiters?

 

[BuntonRules]

Mayhap we were keen to rookie him, but decided he would not be there come our first pick.

 

[Miller1971]

doubt there was ever consideration, he's not even in the best 10 top ups
