Can we elevate rookies before the season starts and if we can, how many can we elevate?

I counted 39 out of a maximum 40 on the senior list so we can only upgrade one this year. We actually have 6 rookies which makes our total list 45 but I'd say Soldo is catergory B and outside the list as clubs can only have a max. of 44 on their list otherwise.

Hopefully they haven't made any commitment to any of the rookies about being promotion.

Leave it until after the preseason

Agree and let's hope if we do elevate it's based on merit unlike last year when the big O was elevated....I still scratch my head over that decision. ;D

In the mould of Michael Barlow, an astute pick of a mature footballer who is more footballer than athlete. :clapping

This pick should please claw!!
yep pleases me a lot.ticks just about every box when looking at a state leaguer. weather he succeeds or fails i congratulate the club on taking him, i wish we would do it a bit more with the state leaguers.

he has a bit of competition with so many similar sized players  i certainly  dont think we need anymore 178cm - 182cm players.
edwards, lambert, miles, foley,b ellis, arnot, houli, mcdonough, lloyd, butler, drummond, short, costagna.

As excited as we all are about Kane Lambert

Assuming Lambert starts in the seconds and considering that Miles was BOG pretty well every week for 8 weeks before he got a run, WHAT will Lambert have to do to get a gig in the ones?
Also Who would he replace, can he be used on the back line, forward line, centre, at 178cm and 78 (ish)kgs
Shane Edwards? is comparable in size but a lot lighter

any ideas??
Had a spare 5 minutes, straight from VFL site

Rd1 Miles 3rd best
Rd2 Miles not named in bests
Rd3 Miles not named in bests
Rd4 Miles 1st Best
Rd5 Miles 1st Best
Rd6 BYE
Rd7 Miles not named in bests
Rd8 Miles not named in bests
Rd9 Miles 2nd Best

I saw all these games except Rd1 & I thought he would have "polled" better that that
Thanks for the info, must have been his first 8 AFK games :scream
