Luv this kid. Kind of embarrassing though that it took someone from outside our club to make a stand.

I fairly and squarely blame Peggy for our willingness to bend over a cop it from the umpires, media and AFL. Its time for a line in the sand moment and she is not someone that is willing to deliver it. Happy to make a stand to prevent members from being able to vote in/out Board members and cracked it when our AFLW license was delayed but won't deliver now when its needed.

You really think Peggy hasn't delivered.
I beg to differ... :trophy::trophy::trophy:
 
Well it looks like Bailey Lambert has skipped the mid-season draft which opens him up as a F/S option to the club as a potential bonus in the offseason.






EDIT - confirmed. He ain't on the list.

Wait a sec, are you sure he's still eligible for us as a F/S? He's 20 years old or something right?

For some reason, I thought that once a club passed on a F/S candidate in one draft that they were fair game for all clubs in future drafts.

It'd be great if we could wrangle this kid on the cheap.

99% sure he is still eligible to us. Age does not effect F/S candidates. Prime example being Jacob Brennan for the WCE who was selected under F/S at age 20.

Also, Steven Morris was eligible to us under F/S as a 22yo in 2011. We ended up trading for him through GWS concessions because Port Adelaide planned to bid a 2nd rounder on him and we wanted him cheaper.

It's explained in this article

Well that's good news - thanks mate.

Maybe I was thinking of the rules for NGA academy kids or something...

Just discussed with Toadvine on the mainboards that right now, Bailey would be the first VFL player taken in the national draft imho.

Small marking forward with an excitement for tackling and just makes things happen. Needed a chance and Frankston offered that to him. They (Frankston) rate him very, very highly.

I keep going back to the West Coast kid who was taken as a father/son at age 22 as evidence Bailey at 21 is still eligible. Name alludes me but he was mature aged when selected.

Thanks for the insight. Not sure if we had much of a choice to cut him from our VFL team unfortunately given all of the covid cuts. Hopefully there's no bad blood.

Wasn't he all the talk 3 years back and was tried in our VLF program and was no good I might be wrong.
He played in our VFL team after being over looked in the draft. He played 3 games as a midfielder and didn't show much in a side that ended up winning the whole thing. That was 2019. Then in 2020 Covid, now this year he's reinvented himself as a forward and is rated by some the best player under 23 in the comp.
 
It would be a major coup if Nathan Lovett-Murray's son chose the Tigers. Unlikely since he has been training with Essendon.



Battle lines could be drawn between two powerhouse Melbourne clubs ahead of the AFL Draft this year over a prospect who is showing “unbelievable” traits in the NAB League. Bendigo Pioneers forward Nyawi Moore is in the unique position of being a father-son prospect for Essendon as well as a Next Generation Academy member for Richmond.

The son of former Bombers star Nathan Lovett-Murray, Moore has shown no shortage of “tricks” for the Pioneers this season since training at Tullamarine over pre-season. The 18-year-old had 14 disposals against Murray Bushrangers in the NAB League last weekend, but 10 of those came during an eye-catching third quarter.

He would need to want to come to us for it to work. We will see if our “winning culture” is like that of Geelong or Hawks

Is he still eligible for F/S nomination?
