Who do we promote?
Now that Lovett is gone I assume that we can promote a rookie to the senior list?...
Which Rookie should get elevated?

L Fisher is a hack.
Lucky to be a rookie, perhaps only on the list to pay out his contract.

If we were going to promote somebody, my money would be on Simpkin. Chances are we won't eleavate anybody though. We already had a spot for a nominated rookie, like we did last year when no one was nominated. There's a fair chance we won't nominate anyone this year either, let alone fill the space left by Lovett. None of our rookies are likely to get a game in 2010.
OTOH, if Lovett's salary disappears from the salary cap, we probably have the space to nominate somebody and elevate someone for Lovett (if we're allowed to) without any extra cost to the club.

I don't think it's clear either way. After Capuano, the AFL made it so players couldn't be sacked midseason. We're in untested territory, at least under the current rules. The Saints may well try and get another player added to their list (Kallen Geary, maybe?). It will be up to the AFL to decide if we can if we do choose to go that way.Mr Magic wrote:Under the current rules I don't think we can actually promote anyone.
Personally, I don't think it matters. We're unlikely to use a replacement player anyway and nobody on the rookie list is on the verge of selection anyway. Even if they were, we do have a nominated rookie spot we could use.

I do not think that is correct
Even if it was correct no one would be promoted unless they were ready to be selected in the first 22.doppler effect wrote:

Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....

100% right in both aspects unless the AFL give us special dispensation.saintsRrising wrote:doppler effect wrote:Now that Lovett is gone I assume that we can promote a rookie to the senior list?...

i dont think we will be allowed to elevate a rookie ... and in all honesty i dont think it matters much our rookies are all project players still a while away from AFL ,ones retired, and one is unwanted but kept to satify a contract obligation

Agree with both of you - I would be more than happy if they promoted Leigh Fisher (or Hutchings)...lefty wrote:I'd be fine with L.Fisher, solid body, could be back since we have really no reserve/backup solid bodies if Zac or S.Fisher goes down.SainterK wrote:I think they will be able to...but they only will if neccessary...perhaps Leigh Fisher?
Don't know whether they will be allowed to promote anyone yet though

Leigh fisher has finnished with the club the only reason he is on our rookie list is because we have a contract obligation to himMCG-Unit wrote:Agree with both of you - I would be more than happy if they promoted Leigh Fisher (or Hutchings)...lefty wrote:I'd be fine with L.Fisher, solid body, could be back since we have really no reserve/backup solid bodies if Zac or S.Fisher goes down.SainterK wrote:I think they will be able to...but they only will if neccessary...perhaps Leigh Fisher?

Oh, I didn't know sorry. I just assumed that given he was still around, partcipating, he must be keeping himself in shape to further his career elsewhere then?st_Trav_ofWA wrote:Leigh fisher has finnished with the club the only reason he is on our rookie list is because we have a contract obligation to himMCG-Unit wrote:Agree with both of you - I would be more than happy if they promoted Leigh Fisher (or Hutchings)...lefty wrote:I'd be fine with L.Fisher, solid body, could be back since we have really no reserve/backup solid bodies if Zac or S.Fisher goes down.SainterK wrote:I think they will be able to...but they only will if neccessary...perhaps Leigh Fisher?

Well he's training, played in the Intraclub, and was interviewed by the media about the Saints pre-season a while ago....st_Trav_ofWA wrote:Leigh fisher has finnished with the club the only reason he is on our rookie list is because we have a contract obligation to himMCG-Unit wrote:Agree with both of you - I would be more than happy if they promoted Leigh Fisher (or Hutchings)...lefty wrote:I'd be fine with L.Fisher, solid body, could be back since we have really no reserve/backup solid bodies if Zac or S.Fisher goes down.SainterK wrote:I think they will be able to...but they only will if neccessary...perhaps Leigh Fisher?

He has just been named in the squad for Friday nights NAB cup
Might be wrong, but I don't think Fisher is finished with the footy club yet
Allen is on the list for contractual reasons, and no-one has mentioned him at training
