Well done to all the SA and SANFL lads picked up this year...

No doubt there will be a few more picked up come the Rookie Draft and Pre-Season draft on November 27th...

Good luck to those players selected.

The major damage at senior level is Norwood losing Matt Fuller and North losing Nathan Gordon.

What is it with the Crows and WWT players?

Congratulations to all selected.

Surprised that Sturt's James Battersby wasn't picked up?

Surely will go in the Rookie Draft?

South's Darcy Hourigan another one overlooked, for the second year in a row...

Might be an outside chance for a Rookie spot, perhaps?

Amazed also that young Reynolds from the Magpies wasn't picked up.

Joel Tippett also not drafted.

i think we all know why Joel wasn't picked up & it has nothing to do with his ability

Why? His brother?

yep, i reckon when the whole 'Kurt' saga came out Joel was a marked man, marked in the sense never to be picked up again..........time will tell if i'm right

I agree, maybe his father too might have a little to do with it

Westies better sign him up quick

Here's a question for you Phil. If Battersby is rookie listed by either the Crows or Power, who does he play for in the SANFL in 2014?
Here's a copy of (What appears to me to be) the relevant regulation from the AFL's Book of rules. Same would apply to a couple of other lads you mentioned.

3.3 AFL ROOKIE LIST
3.3.1 A Player listed as a Rookie by an AFL Club shall remain a
registered Player of the Club from which he was recruited
until such time as he is registered as an AFL Player.
3.3.2 Should a Rookie Player be listed by an AFL Club located in
a State other than that of his State League Club, he may
play with a State League Club in that State. In the event
that he is delisted he will be regarded as a Player of his
original State League.
3.3.3 For the purposes of these regulations an AFL listed player
demoted to a Rookie List shall continue to be regarded as
an AFL Player.
