The requirement for 3 picks in the National Draft has one exception - only one rookie permanently upgraded from last year reduces the number of required picks to 2.BigMart wrote:We still need to delist ONE more......and are obviously waiting on the L.Ball situation to unfold.....
if he choses to stay, expect another player to get axed......if he goes the list will stay intact....
We MUST take three in the ND.....so room must be made...
M.Maguire could possibly be selection #64 if he hasn't gone or there is nothing that has slipped through (like M.Ferguson 2006)
St Kilda has upgraded both Dawson and Miles so only needs to make 2 picks in the National and Pre-Season Drafts.
St Kilda has cleared space for picks 32 and 60 already.
If Luke Ball were to be delisted it would clear pick 64.
St Kilda could also move Steven Baker from inside the list of 38 to outside the list of 38.
This would free up an extra pick, but take away a rookie pick and the option for a nominated rookie.
Only 50% of a nominated rookie's base pay counts againt the salary cap but they are free to be selected.
0% of a normal rookie counts against the salary cap.
The only reason not to rookie Duncan and Widner is if the club considered their cost a waste of money.
