Is there a limit to rookie upgrades? Can you keep (temporarily) upgrading rookies for LTI players until there's none left?

    Out of contract this year.

    Was battling to get a place in the best 22.

    Injury will only put him further behnd the 8 ball.

    I really dont expect Nev to get a contract extension

    IMO he is a handy player without being damaging

    Not in our best 30

    Predict he will end up playing WAFL football in 2013

    Doubt he will attract another AFL clubs interest

    I think your summary is correct.

    I am disappointed for Nev, I thought he was showing some promise during training & could have been handy as a small forward.

    He has plenty of football ahead of him .I'd like him in my best 22 .Injuries are part of footy .Don't write the kid off yet .He has barely started .

    One of our best tacklers, with Jordie and Bartram.

    Unfortunately those three players are all C graders and we need to make way for some stars.

    Might be worth re-rooking, assuming Magner gets elevated, and some other rookies get the arse.

    But honestly, spots are tight on the list, and now with the compensation picks activated, you'd think a minimum of 4 list changes coming up.

    Poor kid, really rotten luck.

    From one clumsy injury-prone human to another, I feel for him!

    So now that Nev is on the LTI list we have the room to upgrage 3 more rookies.

    Who do you guys think are the front rummers for the spots?

    I'm thinking Nicholson, Couch & Lawrence (seeing as we need a crumber).

    I'd also like to see how Williams goes once he's over his back injury. His pre-season training form sounded impressive before he got injured.

    I said at the end of last season that I thought the jury was still out on Nev's future. Sadly, it has just become much tougher for him.

    Looks bleak to me hard to impress when you are on the LTI list prior to the first game.

    Jai Sheahan looked very promising in Casey's last practise match. Played at FB and took some very impressive marks and was in our best players

    Not sure if Lawrence would be considered. Picked for Casey 2nds this weekend. He may be a victim of a quota (if there is one, ie, a limit on the number of MFC players allowed), but it still suggests he's a long way off.

  • Quote

    Lawrence hasn't even played one game in the seniors, even in the NAB cup.

    I still have no idea why so many people rate him and suggest for him to be elevated. I am not even sure if he has even ever gotten multiple goals for Casey in a game before.

  • Quote

    Seems like alot of people on this forum want to just elevate players for the sake of filling our list.

    If there is not a need to elevate a player then they shouldn't do it as I am pretty sure non rookies get paid more. Not just that but it would also mean one extra player to de-list at the end of the season.

    I would much rather keep a spot or 2 on the list free to if say alot of our back men end up injured, we have space to bring in someone much more appropriate to fill the gap.

    This is the reason that he's listed as the possible third upgrade.

    People seem to rate him....plus we have a need for that type of player.

    Stupider things can happen, look at Harry Cunningham surplus to requirements at GWS now playing for sydney all from pick 93 in last years rookie draft.

    This is just a discussion on who may be elevated. I'm not saying that we must elevate all 3.

    If there is not a need to elevate a player then they shouldn't do it as I am pretty sure non rookies get paid more. Not just that but it would also mean one extra player to de-list at the end of the season.

    Rookies go back to the rookie list at the end of the season...it has nothing to do with main list management or having to delist an extra player.

    A spot only needs to open up on the main list if said player is to be promoted to the senior list for the next afl season. This happens during the draft period.

    I would much rather keep a spot or 2 on the list free to if say alot of our back men end up injured, we have space to bring in someone much more appropriate to fill the gap.

    Agree, if there is no need to elevate a rookie, then don't.

    If there is a need, then do.

    This kid can play a bit, unlucky to fall through the draft, lucky for us to pick him up as a rookie but still a skinny tall at this stage. Be interesting to watch him over the next season or so.

    He has good tattoos-which is a sign of his enormous ability .

    I would hope if he doesn't get another contract, at the very least we offer him a Rookie spot.

    If a player of his ability and age was running around in the VFL we would jump at the chance to put him on the Rookie list.

    Nev can chase, harras and hold it in our forward line. What is wrong ith some of you!! Not best 22 but handy to keep on list for sure

  • Quote

    Nev I think can do more than that. When he gets the ball he is very good at picking the best option and creating something. Alos, people say he is slow; but I can't remember him ever being caught with the ball, and his first three steps off the mark are very quick and also evasive. I like him.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
