Can't believe it took half a season to promote Miles.

Has to be Lambert.

If it's Matt Thomas I'm ordering chicken poo.

Wont really know until they are all tried during the pre-season but I would like to say its out of these two:

Matt Arnot
Kane Lambert

I'd like to see Kane Lambert get promoted for round 1.  He gives us another in/under mid option & he is physically ready to play AFL.  By all reports his contested work is top notch, his matured experience shows & his skill level is up to AFL standard.  Thomas & Arnot have been tried & we know about their limitations, Jayden Short & Jason Castagna are interesting types but both need time to develop physically.  That leaves Ivan MkII ... we would only promote Soldo if he was our last tall left standing, lets hope that doesn't happen before round 1!  After round 12, ideally, you would only promote to fill holes left by injury & it just depends on what happens.  I would put Arnot in before Thomas if we need another mid.    :gotigers

Tipping Thomarse or Arnot.....Hardwick will want blokes with AFL experience. Lambert, or any of the other rookies for that matter, will probably have to play out of their skins to leapfrog them both.

It won't be Thomas, he still isn't back from his knee injury and has had no pre season.
I'd be staggered if he gets a game at all this season.

I think it will be Lambert. He has been killing it at the midfield stoppages!

I wouldn't.

Yes-  at training and in one intra-club match so far....
