Smashing Spencer!

Ah, good news. So it'll be PJ and Spencer in Round 1. Not that bad.

Just got this mornings mail,

Valenti is likely to be promoted to the snr list due to a LTI! Lets see what happens.

Who is the LTI?

Who is the LTI?

Hopefully not Grimes

Hopefully not Grimes

Not grimes but i am led to believe it (the LTI) is correct. Let me say it is a player that hasn't played a game yet in 09. thats all i will say for now!

So Robbo

So then it's out of Watts, Maric, Robertson, McNamara, Wheatley, Blease and Jurrah?

Of those Jurrah and Maric have permission to play this weekend for Casey so perhaps not either of them.

So Robbo

robbo said on saturday that he has told "them" that he was right to play last week (v bris), so I guess no.

Well i'll take an educated guess that McNamara's groin injury has been upgraded.

you've used your 3 questions poorly :D , no more answers for now!

Agree.

I concur

I think its a bit odd we are promoting Valenti immediately. Is there room for him in our midfield? Isn't it a waste of money unless he will slot right into our 22?

The upside is it will create competition for midfield spots which can only be a good thing.

if the LTI is true then absolutely it makes sense to promote valenti. Re Competition I think this answers your first question.

But just having him promoted for the sake of competition is a silly waste of money. Keep him on the rookie list, then, a few weeks down the track if his form warrants it promote him then.

Spencer was promoted as there was a real need for a ruckman, based on Meeson and his amazing qualities, there is no real need to promote Valenti at the moment

Yes but in hindsight the competition element is still there by simply having a vacant spot available for a rookie to take if there form warrants it.

The MFC have said several times that rookies and match day payments blew our budget out last year.

We shouldn't let financial issues compromise our footy department but I don't see Valenti having any impact right at the moment.

I'd agree that i think this is most likely.
