So after asking a lot of people in the know it looks like the rules are that both Port and Crows are allowed to draft 2 undrafted players. Davis and Davidson for Port. Crows had Murphy and Lever last year. The rest coming from amatuers/Country leagues etc. Cant find it written anywhere about this.
I promise I will get off your board soon but I send lots of emails and thought you guys would be interested. Latest response I got is from the SANFL. They said both Port and Crows can have a leadership player ( although Harper said Crows dont have anyone eligible). Also that they can list a maximum of 4 interstate 19 year olds for a period of two years.
Also I found out that you guys probably already knew
Summerton as a 26 year old was only able to be paid $400 a game. Once he turned 28 they paid it back. Hence why he is now the marquee player. Originally it was Slattery. As Summo is 30 now and with only a few years left Port will have the same issues as Adelaide for their Marquee player
What are the criteria for eligibility of a "leadership" player, and in what such a tag affects the player and the club?
Whenever you have info, you are more than welcome here mate.I promise I will get off your board soon but I send lots of emails and thought you guys would be interested.

No idea who our captain would be if Summo left at the end of 2018. Wouldn't mind bringing back Kane Mitchell if the rules allowed it.
Thanks for confirming this. We have contracted 2 undrafted 18 year olds and I couldn't find anything on the net that says the rules have changed to allow this. After 2014 the rules changed and we were restricted to 18 to 23 year olds from South Oz.Just got an email back from Phil Harper. He said we are under the same rule as Port with the leadership player but don’t have anyone available since Callinan retired. Both POrt and Crows can recruit 4 undrafted players this year. Crows are looking like only using the one on James Lonergan from Sydney
Sean Davidson (Maggies listed player in 2016 that was demoted to the Academy in 2017) has gone to Glenelg.I would mind finding out if Sean Davidson and Keiren Aguis stuck around after not getting senior contracts last year.
Ultimately the lack of injuries to the AFL squad has made most of the SANFL listed players move on. If we cop a lot of injuries this year we'll be in trouble.I think i've missed i Maggies home game in 3/4 yrs and i'm gutted to see so many regular players not with us anymore.
Heard whispers of low morale last yr and for me it's contagious . I'll keep showing up and learn to love our new players BUT
it feels different this yr ......... real different ...........and right now, for me anyway .......... not better.
Never warmed to Chad as a coach. To lose last year's Granny was unforgivable and feel as tho' Ken has shaken the shite out of my
beloved Magpies.
I don't even pretend to be logical and maybe deep down i've got it wrong. Too much change too quickly for this old stager.
I get that the focus and the future is Port in the AFL and my opinion is not worth much but felt the need to debrief amongst
fellow tragics.
See you all at Family day.
Yeah I know it's just that ya get emotionally invested in players. Have spent time chatting to plenty of them and Keanu LeviUltimately the lack of injuries to the AFL squad has made most of the SANFL listed players move on.
