With the possibility that Armfield is out fot the year can Zach Tuohy be elevated from the rookie list
Even without that, we have a spare rookie slot currently, and can move O'Keeffe to the LTI list and have another one.
EDIT: Lucas may also be eligible for the LTI list.
On the Sunday Footy Show today they said that Armfield was able to fly back to Melbourne last night and has been cleared of serious damage. I dare say he will miss this week but it sounds like he might not be LTI bound. Great news if that's the case.
I also understand ROK might be returning to action in the next couple of weeks for the 'Ants.
So I think only Kreuzer & Lucas are eligible for the LTI list. Ellard obviously takes one spot, but still space for Tuohy.
Plus the mid-season rookie slot. I've heard the same on O'Keeffe but just running through the possibilities. White's the only other likely elevation at this stage of the season, so we'd need to move one more onto the LTI list to make it all happen.
From all reports, and from what I've seen of the bloke myself, he is the next best small defender at present, and I'd prefer him in the team to replace Armfield rather than Browne or Anderson, who regularly get exposed in defence.
