News Lower Delisted

[rgauci]

After a bit of time to digest, it's not the end of the world. I'd prefer the potential 15 games he would get to be split between Morabito, Neale, Sutcliffe, Sheridan, Menagola etc.

Sounds like we'll be getting Lower back by Bond's statement "keen to keep Lower and Chrightwon at Freo in 2013"

Yep, and via the PSD too, which makes sense for Lower but I thought Crichton might go onto the rookie list. I guess this is the fairest thing though and he's showed enough to have spot on the main list.

I not sure Bondy showed his hand here. I think they may still be retained but via PSD or Rookie draft. Lower PSD and Crichton on the rookie.

Hope so. don't want him back on the main list.

Can only assume Lower hasn't nominated for the national draft then, would surely get picked up.

He cant nominate for the national draft - too late for that. Pre-season draft or rookie draft

"Jesse is a young player we certainly want to get onboard and we'll work with him to get him in a pre-season selection. We make a commitment with Nick to do that as well."


I took that quote as meaning they would both would be picked in the PSD but you may be right.

He had two days to nominate after he was delisted.

Yeah sounds like it. shame. Think we would be better off with a mature aged tall.

Lower actually only had 1 day. Freo advised at the last minute (Thurs 15/11/2012 at 2pm) the delistings and then the nomination for the Draft closed at 2pm on Friday 16/11/2012.

McPhee and Jack were retired/de-listed today - so no chance for Lower to nominate for the national draft. He still has time to nominate for the pre-season/rookie draft as nominations don't close until either

1) Out-of-Contract AFL Primary Listed Players - Wed 28/11/2012 at 2pm
2) Delisted Primary List Players - Tues 04/12/2012 at 2pm

*I am not sure if he was out of contract de-listed or just de-listed (I think option 2 is right for Lower)

 

[malpaso]

I thought there was a period after the draft where you could pick up delisted players again? It means we can just slot him back in without the PSD or Rookie drafts.

November 23 - Second Delisted Player Free Agency Period commences.

True, perhaps it doesn't apply going back to the same club.

 

[JunglistPosse]

Yup Lower for PSD and Crytown for rookie

Lower training with the Dogs....

[Clown Prince]

Shame Nick is training with the Dogs. No certainty to go there, but would prefer he was at Freo still.

 

[Silent Alarm]

I can't see why he'd go to Melbourne to train with a club, only to get picked up by Freo. Wasn't he guaranteed a place via the PSD/Rookie drafts? The allure, if you can call it that, of being selected consistently in a bad team probably outweighs working hard to get selected in a top-four side...

 

[DOCKERZ]

He must have got the word from Bondy..

 

[Paracleet]

Or they are prepared to offer more years.

Dogs have a pick before you guys. Pretty much the same as the Prismall situation.

 

[tacopavlich]

My memory is vague, why did Lower get so few games (if any) last year? Guess we don't rate him.

Suspension, injured when a spot was available...

followed by concussions

 

[Alfonz]

Why would the Bulldogs want yet another inside midfielder who is kind of slow and without top notch foot skills? It makes no sense.

My first thought too. It seems like they're looking at him for a back flank, hope not though
