"It would be a wise suggestion to plan (for) at least two of the rookie list spots with mature-age players who have mature bodies. And we've got a pre-season selection as well."
The Hawks are likely to select former Saint Brent Guerra in the pre-season draft but are also eyeing discarded Roo Michael Stevens and Tom Logan, formerly of Brisbane, who could be taken as a rookie.

Interesting piece, but it makes sense. Having a couple of AFL-ready rookies would be a good idea given the ability we have to promote them for a LTI.
Guerra is only 23 and rookies can only be 18-22 (?) so they'll still be relatively young.
