James Magner elevated to senior list

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,636]

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.

Not necessarily, it's why they put him one the LTI list last week. He's out for another 7

OK, thanks, I missed that.

[Demon Dynasty 15,684]

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!!!

Jeepers.....and just when i was getting a bit of hope back that we might start making some common sense decisions around the place.... thank guys

But seriously, all the best to Magnet. I know the Jones boy was tweeting for the Magnet to get a guernsey soon. Hopefully this might lift his spirits a little. Not expecting too much until the mid field rotation numbers improve. Although if we throw Rodan and Tapscott into the mix it does give us a few more soldiers until Sylvia/Grimes return. Get Blease into some form off half back, perseveer with Evans to add some bite to the outside. Develop M Jones as another potential inside mid in the next year or 2 (slowly).

There is hope yet for the mid field. Still needs lots of bolstering and new injections though. A long way off being competitive over a long 22 weeks.

Maybe Neeldy knows he's getting fired and thinks f-u supporters

It makes as much sense as all the other stuff getting around on this site

Well given that there's a bye in there as well, doesn't that mean he's out for at least 8 weeks from now anyway?

[Gorgoroth 12,331]

So what happens if Magner plays [censored] this week?

We give him another week to make amends. If he still plays "[censored]", then we bring in someone else.

[Whispering_Jack 28,015]

My tip is that now we've elevated Magner, Tom Couch will blitz and get 40 touches for Casey this week.

Good question.

I have no idea if the bye is taken into account or not.

[monoccular 16,262]

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.

......had a great week on the track......oh noooooo........every I hear that, things go from bad to worse to even worse

It's by time period. LTI includes AFL/VFL, and he can still play for Casey when we have a bye (for example), so that's still a match day.

He will get selected in the MFC midfield next week.

No doubt he won't be Robinson Crusoe, you'd hope on the back of VFL form he gets another crack at least.

I for one don't think he will be [censored].

[Steamin Demon 370]

Can't wait to see a #22 in the red and blue that actually gives a [censored] !!!! Go get em boy !!!!

[spirit of norm smith 13,137]

Get tough or get out. Yes, Magner IN and keep him IN.

We need Magner, Jetta, Viney, Sylvia, Tapscott, Jones (plus 1-2 more tough guys). Add Dion Prestia (swap pick 20)and Dylan Shiels (GWS) (swap pick 2). No more skinny kids.

[pitmaster 3,064]

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.

Every so often there is a post on this site that shows the poster knows next to nothing about the game.

Congrats deefella...you are today's winner.

[Benson 254]

I did not watch the game today as I opted to spend a stress free afternoon at the park with my son...

How did Magner go? His stats are what I expected..

Won the ball, tackled hard, got clearances and never took a backward step.

Every team needs someone like him, its a joke he was ever rookied.

Thanks Hoags, that is pretty much how I thought he would go about it. I hope Neeld did not have him in that negative role we all love to see Magnar in..

He has a few rounds to show Neeld (or next coach) why he should be elevated at years end. I also hope Couch is also elevated.

was allowed to do his thing and not given a role with great success.

oh god.

[Gorgoroth 12,331]

He as good and added what we needed, he will help Viney out when he comes back as he will be third in line instead of second.

Magner will not be a star but like tuck for Richmond will offer more than a lot.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

oh god.

I think he prefers to be called James, or Maggs.

Magner showed today with his aggression and run - he actually roved successfully to the opposition (!) - that Neeld's biggest list error was putting this bloke down to the rookie list.

[praha 10,294]

He contributed more today than the person he replaced has contributed over about a 20-game period.

Just putting it out there.
