re: English

"Tim is a chance to come into the side this week, so my philosophy is why not find out (whether he's ready) than be totally sure and wait three years to find out," Beveridge said.

"He'll get a run at (senior football) because he's shown here playing and training against his teammates that he is more than competitive and very influential.

"We weren't sure how quickly he'd come on, but he's more than 100kg now, and at 206cm, his teammates have never had anyone who can play against opponents five or six centimetres shorter than him.

"For such a big guy, he's really agile and very clean below his knees.

"He's also a threat (aerially), so teams will have to grab him going for his marks, and he'll get a free kick or two from that."

$50K You and maybe another poster or two are aiming for the same goal :)
Overseas - depends what you are doing, but I found a lot of time waiting at airport and in hotels etc
But, the key time will kill you... including VC/C etc
So 10K is realistic unfortunately
I live overseas 9 hours behind and finished top 1600 last year. You just have to be extra vigilant with emg and vc/c choices. It helps in some ways as you are not swayed by scores in the early games of the day.
It can be done.:moustache:

O'Connor. Not often a rookie gets elevated and doesn't play.
A list rookies don't need to be upgraded to primary list to play anymore. They're all in.

O'Connor was upgraded from the B rookie list. Players that are now "upgraded" are bottom of the barrell players compared to previous years, and they have 5 or 6 more players to compete with for spots (The A rookies who are now for all intents the same as primary list players)

Correct, O'Connor was elevated/upgraded from the rookie list and is playing. Your point?
