If we pick a player mid-season, are they on the main list or are they a rookie?

Also what is the minimum contract term, can we delist them at year end or are we stuck with them for longer?
A player on a short-term contract ending on October 31 the same year receives a minimum of $50,000, with a further $20,000 if they are not re-signed or picked up as a delisted free agent

So effectively a club in the VFL or Sanfl or wafl can lose a player with no compensation and just have to lump it . Sounds fair ! . What a system we have set up up !!

Oh boo hoo.

Pretty much the same as how Sheffield United feel when Liverpool or Arsenal poach on of their players in January transfer? It's a big wide world out there, the vfl/sanfl clubs would still have the occasional scout out looking around too. Plenty of talent playing out Dandenong or similar if Casey lose a player...

The biggest bonus is some other 18-25 year old kid gets to live their dream on an afl list.

Christ the amount of whinging on here is bad lately.
 
I hate hearing rumours of us doing any talks with Freo for any player.

I’m not going to say who, or give any hints at this stage (source appeared solid but I’ve never met them before), but there are rumblings that one of our players wants to head to Freo for a fresh start. Not the end of the world if this player leaves but I like what they bring and would hate to see him go.

I’ll wait for more stars to align before elaborating.

Thats a terrible analogy.
They don't poach them they offer them money which can be rejected if the club wants.

4 contested marks in a half, isn't that more than Oscar had taken all year?

I have to admit to being surprised at the quality of the contested marks. It's a shame he didn't do this more consistently, because despite the way he will be remembered he did have some ability as per the video

Joel Smith? I feel like he's pretty pissed at his injury and how it's been handled

It’s not an obvious one. It’s not a disgruntled player either (that I’m aware of). It’s out of nowhere and I wouldn’t usually give it time, except I have confirmed how they WOULD have got their info, if it’s correct. Our trading relationship with Freo is heavily damaged so I actually doubt anything will happen unless it’s unsalvageable with the player.

I’d like us to have a go at Karl Amon. He wants to come home and is exactly what we need, an outside player with pace.
