I read somewhere a while ago that May was never going to be drafted this year, next year he is moving to Sydney full time to train with the squad with a view to being drafted at the end of 2010. That was the plan that the club had sorted out with him and his parents considering school and whatnot.Originally Posted by liz

I like the new system of number allocation. Very sensible.
Hilarious.

Well yay for Nipper Gordon. He does have that hard head approach to his footy that makes him stand out.
Matty May probably does need to move up to Sydney from the south south coast, logical move. Not exactly a fermenting ground of AFL down there. Good on him. Looks like he wants it and is willing to work.
RBN - Botts could work out in the future...bit of a smokey tho.
Not bad all round really.

I rate him. I'd definetly take him at #55 if he lasts.
Looks like Playfair will be a mature age rookie if he is granted a reprieve.

I hope he is. Have been feeling a bit sorry for myself healthwise recently so watched a couple of past games, one including Henry. I had forgotten how good he is. I hope he does stay fit enough, because he is good enough.

How strong were the drugs you were taking?

In my opinion, not strong enough. BUT, he surprised me, and I took a closer look. The man can play and he can mark and he can kick. Happy to keep him on the books.

Definitely the type that you need a flat surface, $20 note and a credit card for....
This article suggests it is on the cards.

Seems a bit weird for him not to have been offered a contract yet - assuming the article is correct. You'd reckon he'd have been delisted already if that were the case, unless the club is waiting for the Kennelly decision before they decide whether there is room for him or not.
From Ablett's point of view it makes some sense, given that he's going to be fighting out for one of the last spots in the midfield/half forward line with a long list of developing players. However, he'd be far from guaranteed a spot elsewhere because the teams who could use a strong, mature player in the midfield (like the Tigers and Dees) will almost certainly be obsessed with YOOF.
The story says Noggy's contract hasn't been renewed and he "may" look elsewhere in the draft.
In the rush to sign up Kennelly and Bradshaw, did the footy dept "forget" about poor old Luke?
