The increase in height is about profiling and drafting.
Afl now hunts kids out with physical attributes to put them into development programs. The tac cup is especially guilty of this.
Fair enough. Thought there would have to be some kind of strategic reasoning.I think it might have something to do with:
1) Wanting to assess the actual severity of his injury
2) Wanting to see who steps up in the reserves
3) Wanting continuity on whoever we upgrade - if we wait until round 3 to upgrade a player - they can be upgraded until round 11 (8 weeks) at which point the mid season rookie upgrade comes into effect. Stops the cicumstance whereby we bring in a good player like Gallucci, only to have him set the world on fire but be unable to play midseason as McKay is off the LTI. Pretty sure it almost caught st kilda last year with lonie and saunders.
Can LTI-listed players get a run in the VFL? I assume not, as it would open that up to exploitation.
Well said ThyWould it hurt to find kids that can actually 'do football' and put them into development programs?
Sheesh
For the next 4....How long now?
1-2 weeks....
When did he play in the VFL?I am loving this guy and he hasn't even played a game yet.
IN the VFL game he was right in the middle of the packs at the 1.4 and 3/4 time breaks, talking to fellow tall forwards like SOS and Jones etc, giving encouragement etc. Real TEAM man. Either it is just him intrinsically or Bolts' influence, either way it is great to see.

That's just him and his brother. Bolton influence is just topping.I am loving this guy and he hasn't even played a game yet.

Carlton’s No. 10 draft pick, Harry McKay, has returned to the Blues’ primary list after recovering from a stress reaction in his back.
The 200cm forward was placed on Carlton’s long-term injury list in March and sidelined for 12 weeks, after complaining of discomfort during a training session.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Carlton’s senior coach Brendon Bolton praised the 2015 draftee for his work ethic while he has been sidelined.
Just out of curiosity who drops back to the rookie list?
No. I believe if he was able to play VFL he would instantly come off the injured list completely.
This might also mean the club is interested in giving Glass-McCasker a chance over the next month or two. So if we somehow managed to get games into him now and then McKay later in the year this may be making chicken salad out of chicken *
Correct, we left it open at the time.Byrne was our nominated rookie so it isn't him.
I don't think we elevated anybody did we? Wood, Sheehan, Gowers, Gallucci, Glass-McCasker and Korcheck are the others. Sheehan was injured until recently. I think we left it open.
