I wonder how many times in history two rookies were elevated in one year. I wouldn't say many.

His performance this year has changed a few minds. His disposal genuinely lets him down though.

So that's convenient, just when he leaves you guys see the light!!

On as serious side lately he is lowering the eyes going for the shorter leading target more often instead of breaking out of the centre to bomb it forward 50m to the spare man in defense trick.

Wait, st. Kilda elevated four rookies last year? Christ.

Do any of these three wind up somewhere else, or is it all over?

Steve Johnson, James Kelly and Matthew Stokes are set to play their last games for Geelong this weekend — but the Cats’ trade plans have hit a snag.

Geelong is reportedly keen to lure Patrick Dangerfield, Lachie Henderson and Scott Selwood to the Cattery, but Selwood says he is keen to stay out west.

All over for mine. Only hope is probably clubs with young lists requiring playing coaches.

This is an incredible list of rookie upgrades. I wouldn't be surprised if this group play over 1000 games, how many years of upgrades can say that.

Someone like Richmond or North might pickup Stevie J believing they are in the window.

If we were going back to back I'd offer Stevie J a one-year pay as play deal...

I wouldn't offer Stevie J anything. Past it, and would keep a better young player out of the side.

Eewwwww, I hope you washed you hands.

If Daniel Cross (no offense) can get another gig there's no reason why not

Didn't GWS offer a top-5 pick for Johnson a year or two ago? Man, it would've been ruthless at the time to deal a club legend in such a way but I'd have taken that in a heartbeat.

I have noticed him slow down, balance and look far more this year. A welcome change from the usual experience of lighting the ACME rollerskates before firing the shotgun blindfolded.

Max of 1.

Where did you see this?

Why am I thinking of Wile E. Coyote getting squashed by a boulder???

Another blight on Sando that Dangers shortcomings weren't addressed earlier, he has altered the way he plays and has become more Dangerous as a result.

 

[PatientMental]

Where did you see this?

You can use one of your minimum of 3 draft picks on a rookie. You need to pick at minimum 2 draftees + 1 rookie. They do this to force list turn over from every team.

 

[Dylan8]

...did you just intentionally capitalise Dangerous

 

[StrappingTape]

Hopefully Stevie J doesn't end his career alister lynch style and be talked about for doing something stupid

 

[SureBuddy]

I think James Kelly is still a gun and could fit in nicely with a Richmond / North etc.

 

[Janey]

...did you just intentionally capitalise Dangerous

Of course he did
