The notion of a "rookie" list is outdated and has been for 15 years.       A complete revamp for how players are brought into a club is also needed



Draft picks should be as follows;


first round draftees (4 years) this would be enough time for a first round draft pick to show themselves or if they do want a move, the drafting club has a fair bit of power.


second round draftees (3 years), similarly to first rounders, 3 years is enough time for these kids to show what they have or not.


third round draftees (2 years), as above


4th rounders and beyond (1 year deal), this is a bit contentious but 1 year deals for players taken so late.


Scrap free agency compensation. I heard the notion that if you cant keep a free agent after 6, 7, 8 years then you dont deserve any compensation. I dont dislike this notion. Certainly resets the draft order free from all the garbage, behind-closed-door contracts the AFL hands out crincey FA compo picks on.


This is 2024, a "rookie list" has been redundant for a decade at least. Make list managers earn there keep. If you want to renegotiate the deal for [PLAYERCARD]Taylor Duryea[/PLAYERCARD], [PLAYERCARD]Adam Kennedy[/PLAYERCARD], [PLAYERCARD]Jake Melksham[/PLAYERCARD], [PLAYERCARD]Jack Gunston[/PLAYERCARD], Connor McKenna, [PLAYERCARD]Ryan Lester[/PLAYERCARD], [PLAYERCARD]Sam Reid[/PLAYERCARD]



Absolute mockery of it all. List sizes should be fine, how it is structured is what's a mess
