As per last year,
Each team has 5-6 rookies - who can only play if
- You have a long-term injury
- You can't field a team for a certain position
How can I prove who has a long-term injury?
Well, if a player is either out indefinitely or is at least 6 rounds away from returning, then you have your long-term injury. I will use this link below as a basis
http://www.afl.com.au/news/injury-news/injury-list (http://www.afl.com.au/news/injury-news/injury-list)
But you can argue your case if other websites say their within the criteria above.
So in order for you to promote a rookie, post who has the long term injury, and post in this thread BEFORE the next round starts.
The player with the long term injury can't play for at least 6 rounds (on the off chance he returns early, that's just unlucky), and once he is not injured again (is off the website or plays competitive football again) your rookie is demoted again...
Rookie Promotion
In the representative round (Rounds 9-10) you are able to promote a rookie to the senior list permanately....
BUT....
You commit your last national draft pick for next season for this player AND you have to nominate a player that you will delist at the end of the year.

Does Waters, not that we have him, count as a LTI?
I'd assume retirements come under this as well?

With guys like Waters and other mid-season retirees, you can upgrade a rookie for the whole season :)
I guess Trengove will be the early one for us
We've got Hanley out for half the season, not sure we've got a decent rookie who'll pop up or be worth promoting. Plus, Hanley's a mid and we've only got the one mid rookie in Will Fordham who has his work cut out for him in regards to getting an elevation and cracking the Roos midfield. :-\

According the site, he is 6 weeks away, however it was updated a week ago. But, I looked at Brisbane's website, and they say (recently) he is 6-8 weeks away, so consider Goodes upgraded :)
Thanks man!
What's the story with the Ryan Crowley, Lachie Keeffe and Josh Thomas situations purps? Suspensions have never been part of it before, not sure what I would've done.

They're all provisionally suspended yeah?
Which means they're out indefinitely? I know Crowley (not sure about JT and Keeffe) has a hearing date, but who knows when a decision will actually get made. So I tend to think they're out indefinitely.
Which means you can upgrade a rookie in place of them.
^^ My thought process ^^

Well if they actually get suspended, then they're not available for a period of time. If that period of time is longer than 6 rounds, then I don't see a why rookie upgrade opportunity shouldn't become available.
Just realised we can probably upgrade a rookie in place of Christian Petracca who did his ACL a while ago :'(
Will probably hold out until any look like getting games though.

Oh wow, and that article just came out today so I choose perfect times to promote rookies... Didn't even know he returned to training so I'm happy regardless :D. Not like ZOB is a must of course and he'll demote back once Patton isn't on the injury list.
We'd like to promote Jake Kelly for Nathan Drummond please.
Drummond sure isn't going to play again this season and Kelly looks like he could get a few more games. Not in our best defence but handy to have just in case.

Do I need to resubmit a rookie promotion thing for Zac O'Brien for Patton or is it taken as a given since Patton will be out anyway? If I do, this can be considered it :P.
About 10 years later, still waiting for Payne, Steinberg, Ramsey, or McLaren to look like getting a gig so I can dump Josh Thomas :/

That may be a while then :P. Cheers Purps.

Hey Purps, what's the deal with players listed as indefinite on the injury list?
The player in question is Jaden McGrath.
The AFL site has him as indefinite although I found this article from a couple of days ago which listed him as 5-7 weeks (which is pretty much the season for Brisbane as they won't play finals).
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/travis-cloke-hayden-ballantyne-injured-bradley-hill-joel-selwood-drew-petrie-among-potential-round-16-inclusions/story-fncufbo5-1227449030516
If it's okay can we upgrade Nick O'Brien for him?
Yep, that's good enough for me. Consider it done.
With Patton back and Shiel out rest of the season, I'll promote Zac O'Brien up for him quickly as want to play him this week for PNL >:D.
