There's plenty of room.

Why upgrade him? we have an automatic upgrade next year for not having a second veteran again? we have like 7 out of contract and need to lose like 4 yeah??? it seems rubbish list management

Should have waited until he had played his first two games.

It is a hard one.... i was looking at smith for his third game, dropped.... who else is there really without looking? Jacobs, would also have waited for tomorrow arvo's teams, Hibberd on his 3rd game??

Yeah there's not much. The other one I'm waiting on is Mzungu but he's probably still 2-3 away.

Good luck to young Michael. This is the one silver lining to all these injuries we get the chance to start a new career.

Yeah Smith was in my plans.

Settled for Puopolo from the hawks in defense. Been playing well and Hawks have a heap of injuries back there.

Not sure if Hibberd will continue to keep his position.

Good luck to young Evans. Thought Nicholson would have got the upgrade to replace Bail, seeing as Nicholson has been playing pretty much the same role in VFL. Hopefully he is not too far away either.

"Hunt Evans"....I dont get it ;)

He was referring to surnames... :lol:

Anyway, congrats to Mike Hunt Evans. Seems like we're good at picking up rookies.

Edit: Why trade Harris for an unproven debutant? 1. Harris has more money left in him and 2. There are better options. Smith and Hibberd are the two I'd look at. Jacobs, Puopolo, Lynch as well.

Anyway, I'm doing Toy to Hibberd, McKernan to Suckling this week. Yay for making Supercoach money :P

Notsureifserious ....

We upgrade him so we can play him.

We have three LTI's, so can upgrade 3 rookies, doesn't change anything re list management for this year or next. When Spencer and Grimes (and Fitzpatrick?) come back, any upgraded rookie can be downgraded again. It's a temporary elevation, even if it lasts the whole season.

Was referring to a post which i thought was referring to upgrading him permanently, ie. next year.... probably looking to far ahead of myself, if so apologies

Pretty good effort to get a senior game in Round 9 off the rookie list, even if it was a lot to do with our injuries and suspensions. If you include the rookie upgrades in the draft, and all the 17yos that GC took away, you could say that he was like pick 150~ last year. A lot of rookies and high draftees never even get a game, let alone in their first year.

According to Patrick Keane:

@AFL_PKeane

Melb places J Fitzpatrick, J Grimes and J Spencer all on long-term injury list. Michael Evans upgraded from rookie list for Spencer.

I would think he will come in this week. Hopefully we unearth a young star.

All the best Evans hope you rip the Saints a new one!

Go Dees!

He reminds me of a poor man's Leigh Montagna from what I've seen. Should be exciting to watch on Saturday

What I saw of him so far made me think of Timmy Watson....i think this kid could be a ripper. While I'm at it, Scully has at times reminded me of Bobby Skilton..

Hahaha great comment Rogue.

Not sure if serious, but I'm not sure that it matters - still made me laugh.

In regards to upgrading Evans permanently for next year, it is becoming tight with only Newton and MacDonald players I see as close to the chop.

Although, none of the current rules may matter, as my understanding is that the Players Association is pushing for the abolishment of the rookie list, with clubs just having that many extra senior spots. The pay for the rookies is seen as unfairly low.

The idea is to have the one national draft and it just goes longer, with each team getting more picks.

Can't remember where I read or heard it, but that's my recollection.

That's right Artie.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
