Ludwig, I will defer to those more knowledgeable on this, but my understanding is it is possible to leave the rookie that was originally elevated for Papley on the Primary List after Papley is reinstated if the rookie is then replacing a different player now on the LTIT. I think this applies to your 2nd question.
My source for point 2 is the 2015-2016 CBA, with the relevant clauses below ...
(h) When an AFL Club transfers a Player from the Long Term Injury List back to the
Primary List (�the date of transfer�) and the Rookie who was temporarily promoted to
the Primary List in accordance with clause 14(e) in respect of that Player remains on
the Primary List after the date of transfer:
(i) the Rookie shall be taken into account in calculating the number of Players on
the Primary List for so long as the name of the Rookie remains on the Primary
List after the date of transfer; and
(ii) the Football Payments made to the Rookie in respect of the period his name
remains on the Primary List after the date of transfer shall be taken into
account in calculating the Total Player Payments of that AFL Club.
(i) The provisions of clause 14(h) shall not apply to circumstances where the name of
the Rookie remains on the Primary List after the date of transfer for the purpose of
replacing another Player whose name is on the Long Term Injury List.
I do recall Meg posting about a new CBA recently but I can't find it. Not sure if the LTIT rules changed in it?
Regarding Papley's 8 weeks ... the Swans announced it on 3rd Feb. If they announced it the same day as his official start date, then he is eligible for reinstatement this Fri by my calculations.

I noticed on the weekend that the umpires cracked down on the quick "handballs" that were actually throws, (although they missed one from KJ). Hopefully they continue it on Friday and penalise the bulldogs throws. I didn't see their game against the pies so don't know if they were caught out.

Crikey Wolftone. WTF is this PC crap?
If Longmire was a racist he wouldn't have selected AA in the first place, let alone recruited him. It could be argued that Newman, O'Riordan, Mitchell, Jones, Rose, et al have/had all proven themselves in the 2nds and haven't/hadn't been promoted when they should have been. Is he being racist or discriminatory against them too?
You can't go around throwing the racist card whenever you want and labelling someone, anyone, is a racist without proof. Especially in this day and age when everyone needs to be so PC. That's just not on.

Did I read a while back that the AFL was going to dispense with the division into seniors and rookies? Roll on the day.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Rampe is a very significant loss. I would have thought that bringing in Melican and Aliir and moving Mills to the midfield would have been a distinct possibility. It would appear that Aliir isn't ready yet so that would mean Melican and Mills in the backline and the introduction of another mid. Could it be Melican and Haywood? I can't see Cameron coming into the side.
I think the current rookie system is badly outdated as the rookies take on the same full time training load as the maion squad, it's a throwback to when the game was less professional.
I'd like to see the current main squad list expanded from 38-40 to 42-44 and I'd like to see first and second rounders on three year deals, third and fourth on two year deals and fifth rounders onwards on a one year minimum deal.
I do like concept of the rookie list in that it provides an additional pathway for late bloomers to the system and selfishly I think it is good for our academy pathway. I'd like to see it continue but without the ability to be upgraded mid-season and with the clubs being able to match any offer in respect of the draft if other clubs come in for a rookie/development player.
