Thought Id start this discussion as I saw Carlton had done two Rookie promos already for the start of the year. Who do we think will get a promo early on? We have:
Isaac Conway
Small chance, we have plenty of midfielders ready to step up for a turn (Crisp, Beams, etc) can see him spending the year in reserves.
Nick Hayes
Second year Rookie, still pretty raw and would be behind Isaac/O'Brien for a midfield upgrade chance.
Archie Smith
Raw first yearer, wont play at all unless we lose Burger, Martin and West to LTIs (Fingers crossed doesnt happen)
Jordan Bourke
Again, behind the likes of Merrett, Maguire, Clarke and to a lesser extent the likes of Gardiner and possibly McStay. Second year player though, so could get a chance.
Sam Michael
Had a crack at the big times last year, didnt really seem to know where to play him when we did, but wouldnt be surprised to see him up again this year. Although the recruitment of West might reduce this chance.
Zac O'Brien
Mature aged rookie, who could probably step up to fill in a midfield role if promoted. Described as a vanilla mid but could prove himself at senior level.
