This is actually incorrect.

Lachlan Johnson nominated Brisbane to go as a father son, and we committed to drafting him in the rookie draft if he went undrafted in the National Draft.

He had done his acl, so we knew we could put him straight on to the long term injury list for the season, thus opening up an extra rookie pick.

We were tight for list spots and draft picks, and had no intention of drafting him in the National Draft, and we had committed to re-selecting 4 delisted senior players back on  to our rookie list, and had no actual rookie picks for him.

But because he was out for the year as an LTI, we could preselect him as a father son before the rookie draft, and put him on our LTI without actually committing a list spot to him.

However Essendon drafted him with their last pick in the National Draft as a normal draftee, not as an nga selection.

They put him straight on their long term injury list, which gave the an extra rookie spot to use in the rookie draft or SSP.

Basically Dodoro playing games and one up-man-ship.

I wonder if Essendon has kept Johnson on their list for next year?  [USER=175191]andleanback[/USER]
