Was this rule introduced for the NEAFL?
Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.
Introduced in afl Canberra and carried over to the NEAFL. Doesn't apply when we play fellow afl reserves teams
Ta, just one more disadvantage for the Swans.
How come Greesy Eddies level playing field only applies when the Swans are at an advantage?

Shame for poor Bevo to miss out. I thought he might have had a rookie chance but shows you the mentality of list management today. I think he would have contributed more to GWS than Satan will.
I was hoping Fev might sneak in there with the Swans but will just have to dream what if....................

Good to see Brad join Dean over at the Weagles.
Even the Footy Gods have schoolboy humour sometimes.

Makes perfect sense, both practically and financially ... restricted numbers of listed players can play the majority of ressies games anyway, so why pay rookies when you have an academy full of free top ups? ... GWS are in the same boat, particularly when they go to Canberra to play ressies, half of the town are members of their academy and the rest are just down the road at Wagga Wagga and Albury.
The only issue for the Swans will be convincing the kids they are not using them ... again, a huge slap in the face to the players, academy managers, selectors and coaches (Roosy?) that they could only get one academy/scholarship player onto the list this year, and in fact ended up taking a GWS reject .... hmmmm?
How is Cuningham a GWS reject, was he at their Academy?
