I personally dont see any need to promote any Rookie's for Rnd 1
We have a full and healthy list with enough experience and backups on the main list, Lets wait until we see how these boys start performing in the VFL and see what our needs are around Rnd 6-8 and upgrade accordingly
Cant See Big O getting upgraded unless Maric/Hampson get a lt injury, But the 2 most likely would have to be Banfield/Thomas

Thomas and Williams
I think we have to nominate 2 rookies before the start of the season otherwise we have to wait for an extended injury.
Thomas and Banfield...
Big O will only get the nod if maric or hampson get injured...
Can we also promote another at the half way mark of the year? if so, id say Miles well dependent on form or perhaps the Big O if maric needs a week or 2 rest in the 2nd half of the season....

we can after rd 1 but we'd need to add a player to the long term injury list, i think we can later in the year after a certain round but could be wrong on that. after rd 1 any promotion will be determined by injury/need imo

Banfield and Miles for mine. Banfield gives us that bit of X factor pace in the F50, while Miles gives us another in and under midfielder who should compliment the side if he gets into the 22.
However I think we'll go Thomas and Banfield, as Thomas gives us that mature aged midfielder who can win his own footy or go and do a run with role. Regardless of who we go with we will be well served as all the players on the rookie list offer something.

Agree.
Think that is incorrect we can upgrade regardless of any player being injured as we have 2 spots free on our list.....The other point i was making was i think by RD 11 we can upgrade another player whether injured or not "that would make it 3 rookies" but wasn't 100% if upgrading the 3rd player come mid season was correct. Hopefully someone can clarify the mid season allowance to upgrade a rookie to the senior list....

i was going the proviso that we can add a player to the LTI list/promote a 3rd rookie after having already promoted 2 rookies for rd 1 if thats what the Club chooses to do

but those 2 spots need to be done before the start of the season and we cant bank those selections until it suits us.

I also rekon it will be Banfield and Thomas, although i think id rather Miles be promoted over Thomas, but i guess that can happen later on in the year if hes proven himself in the VFL. Darrou would be a good story too, can see him having an impact for the tigers in the near future
Yes thats right bout 2 rookies prior to RD 1, i was more referring to the 3rd rookie come mid season....

It's so far out from Round 1 to predict... Obviously it will be the blokes who are in form and will be positionally the most valuable to the team who get elevated...
If say Grimes and or Rance or Chaplin go down before Round 1 - then Darrou comes on the list. If we lose a Ruckman then Orren. If we have a full list to choose from, then they may not even elevate 2 players straight up...
