ELITE endurance. A clearance specialist. A mighty heart.

melbourne have a few spots open on their list for rookie upgrades, and have an average midfield (to put it nicely), should slot in I guess?

A midfield bench of Sam Gibson and James Magnar will bring in plenty of cash*  :D

* Usual rookie-related caveats apply.

Tom Couch is another rookie competing for the permanent spot on the Dee's primary list.

Does anyone know if Melbourne has anyone on the LTI list?

[elephants]

Yep Gibson and Magner on the bench. Couch also get a look in? Looks a strong unit too!

Dee's have Green on the veteran's list, so only have one vacancy on the primary list for a rookie.
UNLESS they have someone on the LTI list...

[elephants]

Max Gawn? LTI?

[supercoach addict]

Melbourne is not a particulary competitive team, Magner could slot in nicely.

Feel like a b*stard for saying this, but woo hoo!  :-\

[Jukes]

Even though he is mature at 24 he looks like he's into his 30's already!

I'd like if he didn't play until the bye rounds in a perfect world; midfield rookie spots are prized and should be given to only the best. If Magner does repeat this in the coming weeks, he'd still have to get past Neale and Clifton to get into my team (Shiel is locked in 100%).

[elephants]

Yeah it is bad for BIG MAX but good for us. Sorry Max.

lol ..  woo hoo   8)

Hey?!! Where did that 'Boo' come from?
Dammit! I was carefully trying to keep a clean sheet  :-\
