Who do we elevate?
We have two long term injuries, Dempster and Allen.
SO who do we elevate from the rookie list?
I think Zac Dawson has to be one, not sure who else.

AS has been stated many times..theres not point elevating anyone unless they are as good as certain to play senior footy the next week
Complete waste of money having them on full senior wages running around for Sandy
Agree Dawson looks as good as certain to be upgraded...but yes the other spot will have to be earned and none of the other rookies have gone even close to warranting senior selection in Round 1

I'm not sure that Dawson is up to it but I'd be willing to back the clubs decision. IMO Tungutalum will be elevated in 2009, when is another story.

Dawson could be the one elivated for Allen, but Miles has earned himself a chance from what I took away from Princess Park, he is quick and can play a role in the backlinesaint66au wrote:AS has been stated many times..theres not point elevating anyone unless they are as good as certain to play senior footy the next week

Tungutalum does look exciting but far too slender ATM, I'm even tipping that he will start off at the Sandi reservesArmoooo wrote:I'm not sure that Dawson is up to it but I'd be willing to back the clubs decision. IMO Tungutalum will be elevated in 2009, when is another story.

but from what ive seen he wontOtiman wrote:He could be the 45th best player on our list, but if he can free up Fish to play in the middle, as well as hold his own defensively, then it's worth it.Bernard Shakey wrote:Why would you elevate Dawson, when he is not in our best 22 available players.
blake is much better in that role and seems like he will play key back espeically with goose looking a small chance of early season game time
and when goose does come back blake can godo something else playing a roving role, taking a key back if the tall plays tall or the bench

I'm pretty sure Dawson has already been elevated due us only have one player on the veterans list.
Ross Lyon has said Dawson is a likely starter for Round 1.
Luke Miles would be the only other who would be chance to be elevated in the place of Dempster or Allen, but only if we were hit by further injuries to key defenders.

where did lyon say that dawson is a likely starter for round 1. Not suprised as he allows chips to go into the midfield until goose gets a month of football at sandy under his belt.Beno88 wrote:I'm pretty sure Dawson has already been elevated due us only have one player on the veterans list.

We seem to be looking for a defensive player to be elevated from the rookie list. I would be looking for a forward hopeful. We don't have a lot down there except for the captain and Milne. BJ may be able to fill a forward spot but he will be thrown the back half when the site hits the fan. We need another forward. Let's get adventurous.

Is he going to play forward now that Max is injured ?
How adventurous are we going to get. ls Sam going to play back or maybe we go for something out of left field.
THE COACH HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW STRONG OUR BACK SIX IS. Is he going to rob this strength by playing Gilbert and Fisher in the forward half.
Get real.

2 long term injuries places for temporary rookie promotion AND 1 NOMINATED ROOKIE place = 3
There is no need to promote anyone until they are about to selected in the initial 25 (22 + 3 emergencies).
Dawson maybe the first if he is required to play full back while Max is injured.

Mate there's a fair bit of "fiddlin" goin on after what was a practice match for nothing.Longwayfromhome wrote:How many posters have fiddled withe idea of Fish playing down forward. Don't tell me you haven't fantasied about it ? I'm certain the coach has.
IF we play like that during the season proper then Id suggest fiddling may be the only thing that keeps us awake at games.
