Great to see Lennon in and Griffiths back. Lets hope they go out and smash the demons in honour of Tommy. Nothing but a 100 per cent committed performance will be tolerated.

Frawley one of 2 outs for the Dees

Miles not elevated.  That stinks.  Should have gone in instead of Foley.

Agree it makes little sense

Was wondering if they are just waiting until round 11 to promote him for the rest of the season

 

Great to see Lennon get a go though

I thought someone was eligible to get upgraded this week

We can upgrade if we want, clearly they don't want to

Lennon and Griff are good ins, Foley ahead of Miles just makes no sense to me.

Simplistic fools of the round table

I've said this a couple of times before.  They can elevate Miles now through the King LTI.  When King comes back he will be demoted but as long as we haven't elevated another rookie after round 11, we can re-elevate Miles immediately.  So by not elevating a rookie now of any kind (Darrou or Banfield) we lose out the ability to have given a chance to two rookies, assuming they choose to elevate Miles after round 11.

Well these are probably the best changes we have seen all season IMO.

PLAY Lennon immediately and sub Edwards.....

I would think so. If he became an integral part of the team and we were pushing finals and had to stop playing because Kingy was back that would be a disaster.

Pretty sure you have to elevate at round 11. Don't think you can bank that upgrade.

Dumma softy showed his hand when he dropped a kid on the back of a 9 tackle game. Priorities completely arse about.
