white

[true blue19]

ive heard from a couple of poeple outside of the club that white might not get promoted in tonights draft. the club thinks there might be a slider that they want with pick 70 and they want a pre season pick.

I'd hope that's not the case, terrible to do something like that to White.

Interesting. It's no harm in placing him on the rookie list for another year and just upgrade him next year. It's much easier and practical because we have no vets on our list and can nominate two rookies during the year.

Hibberd for pick 70?

Mitchell at pick 67....

 

[blueblood25]

they've made it pretty public that white's getting promoted. probably just on that goal against collingwood alone. that would be an absolute dogs act if they didn't.

 

[Sin City]

It would be a strange thing to do seeing as they've already announced it but if true he can just be our nominated rookie next year anyway.

 

[Jeremias]

White has been promoted and that will be made official tonight.

I don't think you've heard anything. And if you have, it's from people that don't have any sources and are just pulling your leg.

I actually found it strange that they were promoting him to be honest. We usually wait until they have to be promoted, even if they deserve it, and just pay them more than a rookie wage. IIRC Jamo waited another year, so did Garlett.

It really makes no difference to his job security, as long as they pay him what he is currently worth.

I am not sure if you can take back an elevation after you have declared it though. All rookie elevations are locked in by the first list lodgment, aren't they?

How is it terrible?

He will be able to play a lot of football next year regardless and prove himself once again and claim a spot on our list.

As I said, no harm in doing this.

 

[Aphrodite]

I doubt it very much.

White will be promoted onto the Senior List tonight.

 

[Blue and Silver]

I was under the impression that once promoted a former rookie could not be demoted.

Given that the club has to list rookie elevations at list lodgement 1 and White was elevated then this rumour would seem to be false

Friday 29 October, 2pm
List lodgement one. Rookie promotions, retained second-year rookies, retained third-year international rookies, retained third-year non-registered rookies.

Just for reference.

White is also on the main list on the cfc website

rookie aren't promoted until there name is read out tonight

 

[NAUGHT5]

IMO it would be better to keep him on the rookie list for another year.
Next year he can be our nominated rookie anyway.

We are pretty much trading pick 70 in the ND for a rookie pick in the 100's.

Elevating him this year tells me they have someone else in mind to nominate for next year. Maybe Cachia?

ERRRR...

Less confidence in himself, less money, trust in the club? just to start with a few?

It's like your boss telling the entire office you're gonna get a promotion and then hiring some new guy out of the blue instead.

It's a little different, I'm sure if this were to occur we would have spoken to him and assured him that he is in our plans for the future. I don't know the difference in salary but I can't imagine it would be that different considering the amount of games he has played to date.

Don't get me wrong I would like to see him elevated but if are desperate for the pick then I would be okay with elevating him next year. He will still get to play if his form deserves it.

I was under the impression that the AFL considered all rookies promoted after list lodgement 1 and tonight was a formality

Correct.

White has been officially elevated, and as you say - tonight is a mere formality.

The papers have been lodged and Simon will be on the senior list next season.

This thread is crap.

Spot on J

We have 5 live draft selections tonight & Simon's name will be read out at pick 108 as an elevated rookie.

Info here

Carlton will also commit selections, 85, 99 & 108 to rookies David Ellard, Jeff Garlett and Simon White, all to be elevated onto the senior list.

“We have already made the decision to lift David, Jeff and Simon onto our senior list and that will be formalized on Thursday night,” Hughes said.

“It’s a credit to the three guys, they have worked extremely hard since being selected as rookies and they all deserve their place.”

Thought there was a rumour thread for this sort of bollocks.

There is but it is a task to "search" first

Nice to see you numbers

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I suspect this has nothing to do with searching. It's just a late grab for attention by someone, whether it be the person who started the rumour or someone else, I do not know. It is a nothing rumour though, hardly controversial or damning.

CFC TV: White Promoted

Too eloquent to be a footballer.

 

[NAUGHT5]

Lock her up

 

[thylacine60]

"What, again?"

 

[1981]

No way that will happen

You don't go and make it public and have it on the web then change your mind

Seriously unpreoffesional of club it that happened

More likely the original post in this thread is bollucks

 

[Aphrodite]

So did White get promoted
