Rookie elevations?

Hoggyz_a_legend · February 27, 2014, 03:57:01 PM

Has there been any rookie listed players who have been elevated to the senior list yet?

Also which teams have spots available for rookies to be upgraded?

I'm hoping Georgiou for Dees and Templteon for my Saints at this stage.

Is there any other possible fantasy relevant rookies anyone is interested in?

I know the Demons, Crows and Tigers have a spot available on their list to upgrade a rookie.

Georgiou has been named again for NAB 2 which is a good sign, I am hoping he is also elevated.

There is a deadline for elevations, I believe. Just don't know when it is ...

Tigers have 2 spots that can be used, Miles almost a certainty and the other will probably go to Stephenson/Thomas

Melbourne have a LTI spot they can use, hopefully Georgiou can get that and make some cash for us on the bench.

Crows and others I am not sure about

Melbourne do have a spot available due to the long-term injury to Riley but, according to the recent injury list published on the AFL website, he is due to return in 6 weeks meaning that, even if Alexis is promoted, he will have precious little time to rise in value and may not be seen again for some time. You'd basically be betting on another Melbourne player getting a LTI if you select him.

If he is elevated and named round 1 he has a chance to impress that's all it takes to start an AFL career they will find a way to keep him in the side if he plays well enough , I am sure that would be all the incentive he would need and know that this is his chance

They can't shakes. The only way he gets in is if a bloke gets put on the LTI list because George is a rookie. Impossible to just find a way to fit him in the team, unfortunately

Then what are the previous posts saying that they have one available ?

Aidan Riley currently on it but is 6 weeks away from coming off it. So you're only looking at Georgiou playing two or three games to start the year off until Riley comes back on the main list and that's not really worth it to start him in your side.

Like I said never give a sucker an even break ;)

Playing Georgiou is definitely a risk but could be a calculated one if six weeks becomes 8-9. Don't forget that the first 2-3 price rises are the biggest, so potentially he could make 120k, certainly nothing to be scoffed at, particularly if his presence allows for another keeper in your side. The other benefit is an emergency loophole when he's not playing, being a Melbourne player he'll get loads of Sunday games. If he's named round 1, I'll be taking the risk.

interesting prospect Bully but I would want a full defence that I could count on before I did that. Only one rookie in that line in case of back up? come bye rounds it could prove quite difficult also

True, and I'll select Langford & Clurey over Georgiou if all three are on the table. But the next tier of defenders are too expensive IMO, Laidler costs 161k, Griffiths even more. With Robertson & Crouch being unlikley starters, I think many will need to spend more on a solid midfield, Beams or Aish for example. Something's got to give and Georgiou seems like a worthy compromise.
