The Saints apparently lodged the forms on his behalf - so it hardly sounds like a bad thing for the Saints.
But thanks for the update anyway.

i thought if someone nominates themselves for the pre season draft they take whatever comes their way....if this is true and not a load of horse shit then he has just DONE a mal job on the saints
Even better the saints have to waste a national draft pick on him hehehehhehehehehehehe
A player who will play for max one year.
I have a funny feeling if he says he will only play for one club he is going to be looking at a nice big suspension and fine as will the Saints this sounds like a massive balls up to me.

Geez - the Collingwood supporters are still dirty they didn't get him the first time, and the Carlton supporters pick up one player and think the world is their oyster again.
At the end of the day, if he nominates and gets picked by someone else he has no choice. But why not let clubs know now if he doesn't want to play elsewhere?

Obviously the nut case has had a change of heart,it would be nice for him to go to stkilda,however you do have a few desperato clubs such as RICHMOND,ESSENDON CARLTON who would pick up CLINT BIZZELL if he comes out of retirement. watch out saints.

We'll get him with pick 70 surely? I don't think he'd want to play for any other club, so surely no club would be big enough bastards to select a player who doesn't want to be there?
Draft tampering!!!

It clearly shows the Saints are doing something right if he wants to come back and play for another year. This is sensational news. WHAT A RIPPING DAY!!!!!!!

I genuinely dont understand the finer points of the draft system, so I'm not being smart......how, and why would Fraser want to come back through the draft? Didn't he retire? or if the club "urged" him to retire, why would he want to go back to a club that didn't want him.....is he having a "braindrain" again?....Saints my second team, hubby is a Saint, so this interests me....does anyone know what plans he had for retirement..e.g....workwise and income etc...I just hope he stays retired, remembered for his greatness and just being the G train...

The Club wanted him to play on but he didn't think his body had another season in it. Hes gotten away had some time off and re-thought it and now wants to come back.
Funny feeling he would not last past pick two in the PSD

Does anyone think they should add a new rule stating that a player that retired the previous season may nominate to return to his previous club at the cost of a national draft pick or via a bidding system like father son?
This would only apply to retiring players not those who are simply delisted.

I think the current system is good. You retire and stay retired or you nominate for the draft and go to what ever team picks you. I'll be mega peeved he can get away with dictating he will only play for St.kilda. And before you all have a go at me I like St.kilda Im not trolling. Things like this should be fixed up , I mean after Mal Michael you think the AFL would have fixed it.

Frasie better go back to St Kilda, it just wouldn't be right if he ended up playing for a puss, bottom dweller like Richmond or Carlton. Geez I loved that mans hairstyle and choice in short sizings.

This is quite stupid. After calling it a day, you would of thought fraser would be the last player you would see wanting to play again.
So what happens if a Richmond drafts him (for example) Will he just retire again and the tigers have wasted a pick? Any rules saying he can't do that?

I think there is an unwritten rule amongst clubs that in situatuions like this they will let the player go where he wants. this is a uinique situation. This is not a Chris Judd or a player with a few years in him, he will be at StKIlda the G TRAIN!
U haev sen it befoire where players on the veterans list have been delisted only to be picked up in the PSD so they can go on the main lsit as u cant go from the vet's list back to the mian list except via the draft.

Even though there may be an unwritten rule, it can still be broken. Football is a business, if recruiting a player helps the team, coaches can still make the move.
