Then it is like for like. Michie's recent form has been a little above VFL level, and Melksham's past couple years a little below AFL standard, I would have them on par. Would prefer to give a young lad a crack at it, bit more upside. If White is training well, then he seems the logical choice.

Melksham is a better player than Michie.

Window of opportunity for Viv.

We have selected a few under 21's in draft.

Lifts his running and fitness. He is a better chance than others. Roos has given him the challenge

Bigger AFL body 5+ pre-seasons.

 

I am thinking of the Jetta situation......demotion seems to have been the making of Nev.  Hope it works for Viv too.

People are kidding themselves if they think Viv Michie is the answer to our problems.

Aside from his lack of leg speed and fitness, he has no defensive side to his game at all.

He'd be a poor replacement for Melksham, and I don't rate Jake at all either.

I'd rather see both White and Wagner tried first.

It's rare to see you rate anyone or anything within the club these days, so you're comment doesn't mean much.

And nobody is saying Michie will be the answer to our problems, he is just the most likely player to be promoted off the rookie list to replace Melksham.

no it doesn't

for 2016 any club can nominate one rookie at the start of the season to be elevated. after that it requires a lti

Isn't that what I said.

Michie will be the nominated rookie!

Then any others will have to be because of an LTI

Also the WADA code said that a player to replace a "cheat" must first be taken from the Rookie list.

Who would you prefer in your side.

Melksham is not n your side so forget that comparison.

Also this preseason is the first he has not carried injuries. He has also been injured in every season he has played.

If he gets through a preseason that should set himself for a great year.

not sure if that was what you said initially

anyway to summarise, mfc can elevate TWO rookies at start of season (if they want)

one to replace melksham under special afl ruling re cas decision

one according to new 2016 rookie rules which apply to all clubs allowing one elevation at start of season

(this is regardless of lti elevations)

DC.

Dont we also have Joel Smith as a Rookie (B) who can be elevated at anytime.

i believe there is only one set of rules for all rookies for elevation. i.e. no special elevation rules for category b rookies

rookie categories only define how they may be recruited

p.s. separate from the special melksham case i think clubs can elevate up to 2 rookies at start of year if they have no veterans on their main list

Not a problem dc Gil the Pie Man will create one in a flash.

Oh yes I see the problem now we are not the EFC how silly of me.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
