James Magner elevated to senior list

Featured Replies

 

see all that posting about elevating him worked

now we know the ceo does monitor this site

so what else needs doing we can post about? hhhmmmmmm

Glad to see him elevated. Busting down the door for selection, which is what we need.

 

Why this week? Why not last week as soon as Grimes went down? He must've had a great week on the track, I guess he'll be in v Richmond.

Very deserving of the Upgrade! all demons fans can ask for is that blokes earn the guernsey through hard work and this bloke has done it, now he just needs to make the most of the opportunity.


Knowing us, we'll play him as sub this week, he'll come on in the last quarter when we're 100 down and he'll get 10 touches and 5 clearances.

... and dropped to the VFL to find form!!!

I hope some tackles stick this week.

 

Yeah, baby!

Make us proud - show the others how it's done.

Magner will make no difference I don't know why some people here worship him. Magner is very one paced with ordinary disposal skills. He isn't apart of our long term future, just another list clogger.

Possibly, but at least he's a player that'll get in and have a go - more than what most of our regular players show each week.

I think the point is that he has been playing well at the VFL this year and has earned the chance to play at AFL level.

I reckon most people would know he's not the messiah, but lets give him a go.

Precisely. A ray of light for this weekend. Thank god.

That will be up to him, i suspect he will attack the ball at 100 miles and hour and have a real dip, hopefully this inspires a few of his team mates to do the same.

FINALLY, I can tick something off my list

What I want this round:

  1. Magner to be elevated to list
  2. Watts to play forward
  3. Tackles
  4. Tackles
  5. Hot chicks
  6. Melbourne to win
  7. Tackles
  8. Get some contested marks
  9. Howe AFL mark of the year nomination
  10. Tackles

Which makes the fact that he was our best player in the first 4 rounds last season all the more sobering

Magner, Viney, Jetta and Jones - it's Tiger smashing time....

The penny has finally dropped on how bad McKenzie and Bail are Playing / Are every week

Magner, Viney, Jetta and Jones - it's Tiger smashing time....

Sorry Tapscott, forgot ya buddy - go get em

So he should fit in with the rest of the team.


There was no point elevating him until they were going to actually select him. He could have played last week, I agree. I suspect he has been elevated now in response to Sylvia's suspension in the recognition that we need another bigger body after being brushed aside by the intimidating Suns last week.

Ease up !!! We still don't have a game plan and Neeld is still there..Adrenalin or emotion ???? Could be a very small start.... GO DEES !!! Just saying lol :):blink:

Exactly!

That's the one and only reason why I wanted him elevated. It's called work rate. Something most of our starting 22 lack.

And distressing in respect of a coach getting the best out of the other players who were awful.

It's bad news on Grimes though. He's out for another 8 weeks as I think that's the minimum for LTI unless there is some transfer arrangement for the mid season promotion.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
