I would get rid of hartigan ahead of him. According to afc members hartigan is a star so would have massive trade value I assume aswell. Lol .

the club still thinks the playing group is still capable of challenging for the premiership but is totally aware we have a core group of players 30 plus and using this draft of strong SA talent whether we get the SA players or not to have a young group of players ready to step up into the AFL team when more of our senior core retires.

You really don't know Otten if you think that's what he's about.
Great team man and no doubt will be a very valuable asset both as solid list depth and to have around our young developing players on the SANFL.

Actually happy for Otten, think he is handy back up. Think Cheneys career is over if we don't rookie list him and to be honest, we should cut our losses if we don't trade Kelly

A bigger deal out west.
Nah, Cheney is done as a footballer if he's delisted. 3 clubs and is at 30.

Pretty much, it's a very easy decision for him.
Get one (maybe two) more seasons at base AFL pay at a club you're much loved at or go to an SANFL/VFL club. We get what we want which is a cheap solid KP depth as well so it's pretty win/win.
I guess a lot of people would agree with you but I think his role as a swingman makes him more valuable. Simply he fills gaps and with the departure of our other Swingman to Carlton it made sense to offer him 12 months.
It's obvious at this point he's got Keath and Fogarty (and maybe even Himmelberg) ahead of him on the depth queue, which is smart, but he still came in late in the year and showed some good form. They're all inexperienced AFL wise, so I don't mind having an experienced backup. One year deal is hardly going to cause any issues in terms of list management either.
CEY should’ve gone elsewhere.
Surprised there weren't a few clubs down the bottom interested....
I really like CEY, one of my favourites.
He's a bee's schlong from being good enough, but looks like he'll never quite make it.

Serious question
What’s even the point of the rookie list anymore?
Cat a rookies can play whenever, so why not just have larger lists.
Hmmmm 'half trained monkeys'..........haven't heard that saying for many years. Was a common expression used by insecure lesser operators in the engineering field in Adelaide years ago. Not suggesting you are one Vader, but it just rang a little bell with me from times past. Carry on.
There are only 2 real differences left. Firstly, rookie listed players are on 12-month contracts, and the club has to lodge a Form 32 if they wish to nominate to retain them for a 2nd or 3rd year (senior listed draftees are given a 2-year contract). Secondly, base salaries for rookie listed players are excluded from the salary cap. I don't think either of those are good reasons for retaining the rookie list.
I also have no idea why they bother with the Pre-Season Draft. It used to be justified as an escape route for players who wished to leave their previous club, given that they weren't able to delist themselves until after National Draft nominations had closed. Then the AFL changed the draft nomination date, making them eligible for the ND. There is now no reason at all for holding the PSD, yet the AFL continues to do so.
Anyone who expects the AFL to actually think intelligently is asking waaaaaay too much.
I doubt there would be any interest at all. He's a reasonable depth option, but he wouldn't be in anyone's best 22.

It the early version of the AFL Future list change rules, ie No rookie list, more so when they head to a national reserves comp.

I like them both - underrated depth players. These guys are just as important as the regular 22 in terms of contribution, but with less fanfare. Particularly so if injuries were to occur.
We can’t have 30 AFL stars in our team. Otherwise, we would undoubtedly breech the salary cap!

I think I'd have preferred Cheney to be re-signed ahead of either of these two. Both are handy fill-ins at times, but I think Cheney should be in the 22 ahead of Kelly on 2018 form.

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
CEY would easily be in Carlton or Gold Coast's best-22, and possibly Fremantle's as well.
Very doubtful.
