Darrou, followed by Banfumbles who, despite his flaws, has genuine line-breaking pace that's sorely needed since White's depature. Skill -wise he's really not much worse than White was (let's be honest here)and probably has a higher ceiling (and dare say, might even be a touch quicker -or at least on par with White's pace of a few years ago). )Haven't seen enough of Miles yet to form an opinion and not going to get carried away by pre-season form. Reports so far are merely reminicient of reports of Pat Contin two pre-seasons ago.

Aye fair post. Prefer never to see leprechaun banfumbles in a richmond jumper full stop and I think Nipper Gordon is a better upgrade and replacement for old Greg. I've seen a bit of Miles and unlike Contin has played AFL, but yer the hype is over the top. Just reckon more inside mids available on the senior list the better. They'll prob elevate Thomas.

Isnt there a cut off point to promote rookies to available spots and after that it cant be done until half way through the season or if someone is put on the LTIL?

I was under the understanding that we can promote 2 players at anytime because we have 2 spots available. Last year I thought we promoted Pettard before round 1 and Stephenson later on - but could be wrong on that

My mail is Milesy has been quietly going about his business quietly, not leaving a stone unturned to be a fixture from r 1 ...not to mention Darou , an embarrassment of riches really  :clapping

Im upset at the lack of options. Why could we only vote for up to 6 players at one time?
