ROOKIES as they are ELEVATED **Updated 26/5 Austin, Williams**

[GM]

So no Mitchell.
I thought it was 12pm deadline?

Nothing yet mate

From afar it seems a bit strange they wait til the last minute IF they are going to elevate him.

I'm still expecting his elevation otherwise why did Port bother putting Salter on the LTI list for only 6-8 weeks (current return estimate)

You would think so.

Maybe they're having a fight to the death for it down at Port Adelaide?

Pfieffer currently has a good hair pull hold on Mitchell and is not letting go until he surrenders the rookie elevation spot.

I don't think we will elevate anyone to be honest and wait to see how all 4 of our rookies are going in the magoos and make a decision mid year.
The team don't need any of the 4 just yet.

[Bones Bombers]

With Salter being on the long term injury list Port don't need to elevate Mitchell today do they?
It can be done when they want.

[Ricochet]

I just hope Dwyer does

They do need Mitchells stronger older body with his run & carry.It's a no brainer, surely.

LOL epic!! If only they drafted Liam Jurrah, he could've brought his spear for the event!

Yes, it is a no brainer to have another player to choose at the selection panel. By mid-year, Salter will be off the long-term injury list anyway I thought?

Quote from the linked news article on Adelaide Now:

"SuperCoaches awaiting the potential upgrade of Port Adelaide's Kane Mitchell or Geelong's Mark Blicavs need not fear - they are still in the running to be replacements for teammates on the long-term injury list, so they can be elevated at any time"

Guess we'll have to wait until next week then.

@pkd73 No. The deadline today was for nominated rookies, which we don't have space for on our list - just injury upgrades #weareportadelaide
