So, regarding the game. Here are my thoughts. Three definite outs. Harry, EH & Pitto. I also would be surprised if Ollie didn't just take a week off due to the circumstances currently at play.
A ruckman for Pitto. Reidy didn't play last game so it would most probably be O'Keeffe as the replacement but is there a reason why we can't play Flynn Riley?
I'd be astounded if Flynn Young doesn't come in for EH, but then again we're talking about our MC
We have no replacement for Harry so maybe a punt on Ison? Small forward line but a chaos ball strategy could work? Are we that creative?
Lord or Hewett as the potential in's. Maybe even Acres (ouch!)
Rest Byrne and maybe even Smith

He needs to go through a draft and get selected by us.
Next draft is the mid-season draft.
This is only open to teams that have a list spot open - usually through a Long Term Injury eg Motlop.
I cannot recall right now if we have a list spot available, but i believe we can get one as i'm not certain we put motlop on the LTI list.

If we don't free up a spot and select him at the MSD, then we'd have to wait until the end of the season and the regular National Draft - the 'normal' one where we select all the kids.
That is then followed by the Pre-Season Draft and Rookie Draft, which is a bit out of date nowadays, but its essentially an extension of the National Draft.

If we, or someone else still hasn't selected him, then you can add him in the off-season (if you have room) as a Supplemental Selection Period player....which is when you can trial out some players and add them as you see fit - like we did with Elijah this year...and Derkson.

However, we have no 'rights' to drafting Riley. Anyone can take him at any of those times. Just because a player plays for your VFL team, if he is not your afl list already, he is fair game for anyone.

Thanks for that explanation Krudd, but how is he getting a game? Can anyone just rock up and have a kick?
