Axel told me he will be ready for rounds 2-3. Does that help?
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

I would think Lonergan didn't get promoted because he had played only 3 qtrs of footy in the per-season where the other 2 had played plenty

Agree. Lonergan has played very little football thus far this pre-season. Pettard meanwhile has played pretty much every game off half-back. Lonergan will get his chance when some poor soul gets a long term injury. Orren had to be promoted - ahead of Pettard if we only had one rookie elevation - as an injury for only a couple of weeks to Maric could have cooked our season

Axel is always 4 weeks away.

I'd have to say Petterd looks alright so far but lets not get too carried away. He has hit a few targets and done all the right things and good on him, but there is still a question mark over Petterd under pressure which worries me, and let's not forget how easy it was to run the ball out of the Demons forward line which he was part of. Hopefully he fixes that and to keep his cool under severe pressure. Then I'll be convinced.
