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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
