good luck in your recovery Rhys

Rhys O'Keeffe lumbar stress fracture Rnd 9 End of season got that off injury update



who would be the best replacement on the senior list

i would say either Zach Tuohy or Simon White followed by David Ellard but he might not have as much chance due to midfield depth

We actually have room for two elevations due to current list rules. With that in mind I picked Ellard & Tuohy.

We need relief in the small defender department, and we need to sample our inside mids. They fit the bill.

Simon White has already proven he has what it takes at this level so he would be the logical choice, and Ellard has been performing consistantly well at VFL level and definately deserves a crack because if he doesn't make it into the side by years end I don't think he ever will.

I Agree on Tuohy has a bit of mongrel in him and prob Simon White just in front of Ellard who has worked his butt off in the reserves

Poor Rhys. Not looking good for the young guy, is it. All the best, ROK.

Carlton 2012: Lets remind them why they once feared the Dark.

Would the MC be prepared to chance playing Touhy? I'd be all for him being promoted but worry about the backlash if he didn't perform to expectation (of general supporters)

i think we need a tuff nut it would be worth the risk from the limited amount of game time i have seen on tv he shows good skills kicks the ball very well and is built like a tank the safe option would be Simon White and i think Ellard just has to many options in front of him at the moment in the midfield and forward line but he does work his backside off in the seconds can he play back pocket and do a close down job on the small forwards or is he mainly a forward pocket onballer

For mine, it's the pair of elevations that makes the most sense given Joseph's lacklustre play. Cachia, Dare & Donaldson are not up to scratch at present, while Levi & White are much further back in the queue.

Ellard & Tuohy both stand a good chance of getting some game time.

The logical choice is White.
Tuohy looks the goods. Just develop him at the Ants this year.

Through simply great efforts Ellard should be given a promotion at the end of the year.


Go with White now.

If anothe bloke goes down promote Ellard.

Why is White back in the queue? Had a positive impact when he was playing to our whole defensive structure.

T-Bird or White?

Sydney Blue would have a meltdown.

dont need another bloke to go down, one can be promoted via the LTI rule (O'Keefe) and each team can now elevate a rookie for the remainder of the season, without any LTI.

White & Ellard for me.

Give Tuohy a solid 12 months in the VFL. The rest are a fair way off at the moment (but have all shown varying degrees of potential).

Get well soon ROK. I hope we can find a spot on our list for you next year....

It's never as good as it looks and it's never as bad as it seems.

Tuohy looked to be coming on pretty well, but he is only a fairly low chance. White is a cert: good senior games under his belt. Ellard needs a chance at senior level.

Austin I'd like, but he has really struggled due his limited pre-season.

Doesn't go well for T-Bird though.
