Simon Tunbridge because he has 'tun' in his name which can be typo'd as 'ton' and if he can ton that means he'll score centuries for us and be a steal like our other great Eagles picks like Jezza McGovern and Mark Hutchings.

Nice pick.

I rate Tunbridge and was thinking about picking him with our last pick.

Shhh.

All the delisted fellas are basically defenders which is the last thing we need.  :(

Welp. I thought Joe Baker-Thomas was fair game, but he doesn't have a fantasy price or position! And it seems, just recently, I can't find him on a list in either Wiki, St Kilda website or footy wire.

So yeah, reckon I'll take him off the list.

Motion to reduce the rookie lists in WXV to 2

Just throw the rest out!

I still reckon we should just be keeping them at 4 tbh.

He just seems to have disappeared mid season.  Not listed on their de-listings with AFL. As a NZ and with Saints developing the game in NZ is it possible he was classed as an International Rookie with ties to St Kilda but not officially on their list.

This article seems to indicate a special type of rookie in that he may have been on an International Scholarship Rookie list.  So maybe like the academy Saints will have the option to match if he gets to draft.  Reading the article he hopes to cement position with Sandringham in the VFL.

Last night I went through every remaining player on the list and came up with who I think will be a hidden gem.

With out final rookie pick Cape Town will have a category B rookie who runs the 20m sprint in more than 0.8 better than this year'a fastest draftee, is an Australian under-19 basketballer, played footy up until under-16s (unlike the other Cat B rookies) and is an almost like for like replacement for Jeremy Howe at the Demons.

Plus his dad did this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kdJDB5_AxxE

Welcome Joel Smith!

Hellopplz

He was top 3 left for me :'(. Wishful thinking to nab him and Greenwood, both former basketballers :P.
