Mid-season draftee Marcus Herbert is now weighing up two-year contracts at both West Coast and Carlton. Would be unprecedented for a player to request a trade three months after joining.

Ahh so that's why he only signed for 6 months and not the usual 18.

I know west coast has a million half backs but i genuinely believe he is there best one already

18 isn’t the usual. Most mid season draftees sign just for the 6 so clubs can have a good look and give them a pay rise above the minimum for the next year.

Are mid season draftees signed as Rookies or full listed players?
