Question about Labi

[JezBlues]

Is he on our rookie list or is he a scholarship holder that doesn't make part of the senior or rookie lists, because on the AFL site (link http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/88018/default.aspx) it only mentions Tuohy as an international rookie pick

Not sure but I hear his best mate is an arseh*le

Look I'm going to keep repeating it until I stop laughing

I thought he was on our rookie list and every time there was a list lodgement he was there but I'm not 100% sure

Carlton has signed a 17 year old Peter Labi from Papua New Guinea on a two-year International Scholarship. The dynamic half forward played with Mt Gravatt in QAFL this year (the home club of Shaun Hampson) and has joined the Blues on an International Scholarship just four years after he was introduced to AFL football at school in his PNG birth town of Lae.

Yeah everybody knows that.

This is what is confusing the issue:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/86555/default.aspx

He's been listed as an addition to the rookie list since LL1, so it is odd if it is an error that it hasn't been corrected in the releases after LL2 and LL3.

Note that David Meli, the player Essendon signed under the same scheme a few months earlier than Labi, doesn't appear as an addition.

 

[BlueTongue]

I noticed he's still not there (listed as a rookie) nor has he recieved a number.

Does anyone know what the deal is here? Do CFC have to list internationals on the rookie list? After all Tuohy in on the list...
...confusing

Has anyone sighted him at training recently?

 

[DamianBis]

Labi was given a scholarship... was he then picked up in the rookie draft?? if he was he is on our rookie list.. if he wasn't.. we have first dibs on him for the next 4 years

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Yeah, seems we can pick him up at any time in a draft over the next few years, but he is not eligible to play for us until he has been selected in a draft.

Was already answered in his buddy thread..

Cool, thanks for clearing that up for me guys!

An international rookie takes up a spot on the rookie list, an international scholarship holder does not.
