I understand he is a young kid but why should this come into the equation? If he ends up being sooking (not that he would at all) about being taken as a rookie instead of on the main list, then what hope does he have in forging out a successful career? There will almost certainly be a long term injury next year, and if he shows enough then he would be instantly upgraded at the end of next year.Is say it's more to do with the club having made a commitment to Buku. We were prepared to offer him a main list spot and he was probably expecting to go in the national Draft. To then only be given a rookie b contact would be a bit of a kick in the teeth.
It's not a massive deal in the scheme of things, but I seriously fail to understand why we wouldn't take a punt on another raw prospect to develop in the VFL at a minimum. Khamis is as raw as they come, so why go with one prospect when you have the option of two at basically at zero cost?
