Dees rookie gets all-clear

"MELBOURNE has declared mature-age recruit James Magner will be ready to play round one after yesterday lodging the 24-year-old as a nominated rookie on its senior list."

This is good news. Seemed clear after about 10 minutes of the first quarter of the NAB Cup that this was going to happen.

Barring injury, I reckon he could play all 22 games this year.

Obvious choice. Aren't we allowed to promote 2 more rookies? Is there a date when this has to be done by?

Nope. Rookie elevations due to LTI can be done any time.

Thanks for the clarification.

Magnar wasn't promoted, he has been named our "nominated rookie" (allowed because we only have one veteran). Other promotions are due to LTIs and as above can be done anytime.

This kid reminds me of Guy Rigoni when he got drafted.

Rigoni went on to play every game in the year he was drafted.

He was first pick when I made my dreamteam this year, all the best to him.

Dane Swan 2.0

Fills a massive massive gap, and for the price we paid.

I think this guy will actually be elite, i cant believe he drifted so far back in the draft after being overlooked for 6 odd years.

I dunno Chippy, I think the Mitsubishi Triton Panther captures the spirit of Jimmy Magner quite well ...

To bad his name is Magnar.......

Well, this is magnerficient news.

Well someone better tell him that... his twitter account is JamesMagner.

And that would be great, if his name was James Triton...

Im glad he got the nod.

Neeld has done the right thing by puting the like of Couch and Magner on the RL. No disrespect to Nicho / Pickles but proven VFL player are more likley to serve us well over the next 3-4 years than more young mids

For a Magner, he sure does go like an Evo X...

And that would be great, if his name was James Triton...

I actually remember thinking when I posted that .. "I wonder if Rpfc will pick me up on this poetic license". Sure enough ...

Yeah - and was cruelled by injury pretty much every season there after! Lets hope we see the best of The Magnet..

Ditto..

I like 'The Magnet' - esp if he gets the ball as much as he did in the shorter Nab Cup games, when he plays at the top level..

I'm fond of 'magnum' since he's shaping up to be a gun. Shame he looks nothing like Tom Selleck

3 Demerit points, RR.

Surely you have lost your Poetic Licence by now... (IWUAEHIIUE)

Thought about merging this with the Locker Room thread, but ah ...
