    I have heard a number of U18 football watchers name him as the stand out from this year's RAMS team and PK specifically mentioned him in a radio interview last week. Seems very surprising if the Giants are passing him over as he clearly lives within their zone.

    Brown and Lockyer have just been drafted in the ND so they are on the senior list, not the rookie list.

    Kruger and McNeil will be on next year's rookie list. Obviously Campbell Heath, Potter, Cunningham and Thompson in contention spots. KB mentioned in his post draft interview that they were tossing up for pick 61 between three players they liked, and that the other two were still available at the conclusion of the ND. It is possible that Cunningham was one of those two. Who knows?

    It is hard to keep track of how many rookie spots are potentially available. I think it could be as many as 11 in total (including Eugene and Dylan). It is almost certainly considerably higher than the number the club will actually take if recent history is anything to go by. My guess is that they will aim for a total rookie list of between 6 and 8.

    Sounds perfect for the Swans.

    Delete Brown and Lockyer from your list as they are on the Senior list. Not rookies.

    I can see us taking maybe 4 rookies, leaving us with a rookie list of 6 players. Cunningham has been great, don't know why GWS passed on him. I'd be happy for us to take him. Can we still take players under the NSW rookie rule? Or has that been totally replaced by the Academy system? I know we took Dyl under it, but I can't remember if that was before or after the Academy system was in place.

    I'm sure there are some male fans who have as much interest. 'Not that there's anything wrong with that...'

    What a list of deletions above! Looks like it got totally out of hand - send them all to the naughty corner!

    It's all a double standard. The ladies can perv on shirtless footballers until the cows come home but when the gents make one comment on some ladies playing sport, it gets deleted.

    It's an outrage I say...

    The boys look very fit so the off season regime must have been pretty heavy (personal exercise regime). I like the fact that we are doing skills work immediately as last year we were the last side to take up the ball. This I fear may have been a catalyst to our poor use of the ball at crucial times last season.
