See the 16th post - they can go into the national draft and become an automatic senior player if selected.
They can agree to pre-selection for the rookie draft and become a normal rookie but one who can remain a rookie for 3 years before being forced to face the national draft.
I would expect Walsh or any Irish to be pre-selected for the rookie draft as none has gone into the national draft and been taken in the 13 years the rookie draft has existed.
Thanks ace, so has the AFL stopped the international rookie system where these players were not included in the Clubs salary cap???
In general rookies don't count against the salary cap.
Relocation expenses, airfares, and rookies salary payments do not count against the salary cap (total player payments).
Even a rookie temporarily promoted to replace a long term injured player doesn't count because the injured player is still getting paid.
Except that when the temporarily promoted rookie remains on the senior list when long term injured players return.
This is only possible when the club did not have a full 40 senior and veteran list to start with.
Except that 50% a Nominated Rookie does count.
A nominated rookie is a rookie eligible to play senior footy because the club has less than 40 senior and veteran players.
A rookies gets $34,300 in 2010 ($33,200 in 2009)
If temporarily promoted on a monthly pro rata basis they get $49,400 plus $2,800 per match plus a $2,650 bonus per 5 matches or part thereof up to $7,950.
($47,800 plus $2,700 and bonuses of $2,600 up to $7,800 in 2009)
Total player payments limit for 2009 was $7,950,000
Total player payments limit for 2010 is $8,212,500
Player marketing agreements (additional services agreements) limit for 2009 was $537,000
Player marketing agreements (additional services agreements) limit for 2010 is $555,000
Commercial, non marketing arrangements approved by the AFL which have no connection to Club Sponsorship are not counted.
Not sure, but it seems, if a supporter, not a club sponsor, were to employ a footballer to mow supporter's lawns once a year, the supporter could pay the player anything he likes.
The club may then look favourably on the supporter, so long as there is no marketing involved.

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.
