Anyone Training with us?

[Blues08]

At this stage is there anyone training with us? is Kruezer allowed to come down and train or must he wait until after the draft?

None of the potential draftees can train with any AFL club until after the draft. And i'm pretty sure no delisted players are training with us either.

I've always wondered what the reasoning was for this. Is it because they think if a player trains with one club, then other clubs are almost bullied into not picking them? Or that they don't want the young kids to be overworked before they even play a game?
Seriously though, if Carlton came out and said they are taking Kreuzer no 1, then what's the problem if he starts training early.. besides other clubs complaining it's unfair.

It is probably not the main factor, but certainly the fact that the majority of the potential draftees have been in the midst of & are now getting near the completion of end of year exams, would preclude these kids from being able to participate in training before the national draft.

What if somethings happened to Kreuzer prior to the draft that resulted in us not wanting to draft him? The way things are are perfectly fine, no reason to get draftees into training too early especially at such a young age. Early December is fine.
