Was Nick Martin a mid season pick?

Don't they still get six months as a default, and teams can offer 18? Or has the default changed?Certainly not if they require 18 month contracts and take up 4 list spots next year just for the sake of it.
I think it is more about managers asking for 18months or nothing.Don't they still get six months as a default, and teams can offer 18? Or has the default changed?
J Lohmann? Like for like McCarthy. He’s here already so no need to relocate him. Smart one touch player. Seems more physically developed than Kai. I guess he is the older brother. Does anyone know his back story?2 at the most.
Anyone in our or the Suns reserves worth the second pick for a 6 month contract.
Older brother born in 2000. Has a way to go for picked up IMO but has clean hands and makes good decisions on the field (extremely important for the AFL level).J Lohmann? Like for like McCarthy.

Player nominates 6 or 18 months, or “other” terms as Newcombe did.Don't they still get six months as a default, and teams can offer 18? Or has the default changed?
I’d be happy to put 2 of our VFL top ups on the rookie list for 6 months. Maybe even 1 of our of age academy kids.J Lohmann? Like for like McCarthy. He’s here already so no need to relocate him.

But they have to show something to earn an extension beyond the end of the season.

That's what I thought (didn't know about "other" though).Player nominates 6 or 18 months, or “other” terms as Newcombe did.
Ballenden threw his name in last year, and nominated other terms.
I think it's a little cruel to get someone to move interstate just for 6 months with little prospect of staying on. But hey, they're free to nominate longer terms if they want I guess.That's what I thought (didn't know about "other" though).
The guys nominating 18 months are the ones more comfortable in being picked up. Given we're potentially taking a few options, I think we're going to have to dig into more speculative options so I don't think assuming we're going to be locked into 18 month contracts for all of them is fair - it's quite unlikely.
Ultimately it's their call - they don't need to make it. Given we're looking at taking four in the MSD, at least #3 and #4 are going to be fairly marginal options so I don't mind giving them a six month taste of the AFL environment as a fair trade with inside track for sticking around if they manage it.I think it's a little cruel to get someone to move interstate just for 6 months with little prospect of staying on.

Of course, we could draft players who are already in Queensland and don't need to move. Some very good players at Southport but unfortunately after the repeated fights our players got into with them, I can't imagine recruiting any Southport players would help club morale or culture.
Players have to nominate length of contract when they nominate for the MSD.I'm sure we'd ask any players we'd potentially draft what their thoughts are regarding a 6 month move to Brisbane. Like you said, it's up to them what terms they nominate.

Are they able to put in any other elements eg geography (ie only Vic or 6 months Vic/18 months interstate) etc?Players have to nominate length of contract when they nominate for the MSD.
Anyone know if he was involved in the several bust-ups our VFL players had with Southport a couple of weeks ago?I wonder if Boyd Woodcock enters the frame as a Linc replacement.

I've likes what I have seen of him so far. Way to go but could be handy "break glass in emergency" seeing as he is already on our list.Older brother born in 2000. Has a way to go for picked up IMO but has clean hands and makes good decisions on the field (extremely important for the AFL level).
Interesting that his mother wanted them to play together.

Pass.
I get it's do whatever you can to win, but players getting problem labels ruins their careers and just creates to many fan abuse opportunities.
That’s the worst umpire call I have ever seen in my life. That umpire needs to be sacked. That ball was a good 30cm from the bloke hands and that was seen through a potato quality camera. Laughable.VFL rocked by ‘serious’ claims of blatant ‘cheating’
