Morton return?

I just wonder is there a timing issue between being able to elevate and the return of Morton.

I'm not sure, but do you think Jordie was promoted for Morton? I would have thought he was promoted for Tapscott, because the club knows he is on a long recovery track. I think Newton was promoted for Morton.

Also does it matter who a player is elevated for? Can't we return any one of our promoted rookies back to the rookie list when Morton returns (ie- Newton or Spencer)? I always thought that all you have to do is balance the senior and rookie lists, but it doesn't matter which player comes in and which goes out.

Jordie stayed with the club on the premise that he would be the first rookie elevated, so I have no doubt he will remain on our senior list for the rest of the season and will get officially promoted for 2011.

    McKenzie is a rookie listed player who got elevated when Morton was injured (Is that correct?)

    However if Morton returns then there needs to be someone to go off the main list back to the rookies?

    We have three elevated rookies (Spencer, Newton and Jordie at the moment and two players on LTI (Gawn and Jurrah)).

    I would think that would have to be Newton demoted. I cant see Jordie going down.

    I am with Mikey J on the unnecessary and somewhat typical anonymous swipes at journalism.

    I believe the players on the LTI list are Gawn, Jurrah & Tapscott. Unless Jamar gets injured I would assume that Jordie would be the last one returned to the rookie list, and by then we maybe able to elevate him as our mid season rookie elevation.

    I think Jaded is right. You can elevate a rookie after Round 11. A long-term injury has to be a minimum of 8 weeks for a rookie to get elevated. So if Morton came back, say, in round 9 there'd be a two week gap where one of the elevated rookies would have to go back to the rookie list.

    It's great to read articles such as this. Jordie knows he has to continue to play well to retain his spot.

    Thanks for the Tapscott pick up. I overlooked it

    I agree on Jordie.

    Only typical because of how bad they are, and i'm not talking about country fluff pieces i'm talking about major inaccuracies from major and supposedely reputable papers. Part of my job is to brief people on what the media prints inaccurately, or misunderstands. It is truly shocking how bad it is. By and large Journalists are idiots, and idiots with power, but it was unfair to paint this one with the same brush, born out of frustration mostly.

    Fair enough. If you deal with the media that much I can understand your general frustration

    Does the same player who is elevated for a senior player have to return to the rookie list?

    I.e. if Mckenzie was promoted for Morton and Newton for Jurrah (say), when Morton comes back does Mckenzie have to go back or can we nominate another rookie to go down?

    Somewhere in the back of my old mind I can remember on the draft night Chris connelly or someone said, Jordie MeKenzie had volunteered to stay on the rookie list, so we could get another draft pick and he would be promoted in June when we are allowed to elevate one player to the senior list, I think that was the details

    There is no real urgency in this issue as we have 3 LTI and only 2 Nominated Rookies atm. And after Round 11 we can promote Jordie (damn, another JMc to confuse us) so he is probably safe. And It is hard to see that Newton is goint to stay in the seniors when Watts, Martin and Spencer are all fit.

    So chill.

    Morton is back to full running and is well ahead of time. I saw him doing all sorts of drills with Wona and bell this week at the Junction. Cale was on Nova last week and mentioned he's a few weeks away.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
