Which of our rookies will be promoted prior to round 1?
« on: December 09, 2010, 01:00:03 PM »
As we have no veterans on our list, we are able to promote up to two of our rookies prior to round 1 without needing anyone on the long-term injury list.

Who do you think will be the one(s) chosen?

13. Brad Miller
27. Tom Hislop
42. Jamie O'Reilly
45. Robert Hicks
47. Ben Jakobi
49. Pat Contin
51. Nick Westhoff

I hope it's O'Reilly and Hicks/Contin, but I suspect it will be O'Reilly and Miller/Hislop
It will be interesting to see what happens

I reckon they will promote 1 at the most and that will be between Hicks, O'Reilly and Miller.

I reckon wewill only promote 1 and that will be Miller and that should make everyone's day  :rollin

The other spot they will leave open unless of course someone does something extraordinary in the NAB Cup

Miller is a certainty. Will probably line up round one too. He's been training as a key forward and it sounds like they're training for him to be there. The other should be Contin given his pre season effort to date but would not be at all surprised if it was Hislop.

We have to promote 2 at the start of the season to take the veterans spots
That's why it was both Polak & Roberts this year

He wasn't recruited to us as a bean bag :wallywink Miller will get a gig straight up, he will only be left out if Vickery can put on 10kg's or Post can pull his head out of his bottom.........

Brad Millier has to be a certainty! a lot of people will laugh at what i am about to say. when a rookie listed player receives a high number (13) that tells me he will play. i am starting to believe Richmond always wanted Millier but financially said "rookie spot" or "nothing". it was reported that millier wanted to continue playing and took anything. Cameron just simply thought, "let's get him cheaply". it is a rookie spot, only costs around $35,000. that "mentor role" was not the reason Millier took this opportunity. pencil Millier in Round 1. this is my worry ... Ben Griffiths. i am thinking those shoulders are not 100% and he wont be rushed to play. is Millier insurance? quite possibly! is this a short cut from Hardwick/Cameron? quite possibly!

Gee torch you would hope they WONT rush Griffiths to play.  ::)

He shouldn't play until is 100% fir to do so. To rush him back would be stupid and detrimental to our long term future

Miller & Contin
Isn't O'Reilly eligible to play and on the senior list already so eligible to play senior footy ??

Very sorry WP! I was meant to say he shouldn't be rushed into playing. Absolutely agree with you.

My point is that Richmond got Millier possibly because of Griffiths' shoulders.
