Rookie Promotion & Long-Term Injuries 2015

Purple 77 · February 19, 2015, 03:06:14 PM

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

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

Nige · February 20, 2015, 05:37:26 PM

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. :-\

Pretty much the same scenario for us with Libba. Don't think we will elevate anyone, even though we have the great Nathan Brown on our rookie list! :P

Brown's better than all of our rookies combined. :'(

RaisyDaisy · March 16, 2015, 02:07:09 PM

Yeah but our backline is super deep so we would never use him

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.
