AFL Rookie upgrades

Look at list below and see if there is anyone apart from blokes we've upgraded you'd actually want on your main list.

Garlett I'd take.

Strijk I'd consider.

UPGRADED ROOKIES IN 2011
Adelaide: Ricky Henderson, Matthew Jaensch, Luke Thompson
Brisbane Lions: Claye Beams
Carlton: David Ellard, Jeff Garlett, Simon White
Collingwood: Jarryd Blair, Lachlan Keeffe, Tom Young
Essendon: Ben Howlett
Fremantle: Michael Barlow, Matthew de Boer, Alex Silvagni, Jay van Berlo
Geelong: James Podsiadly
Melbourne: Jordie McKenzie, Jake Spencer
North Melbourne: Ben Speight
Port Adelaide: Cameron Hitchcock, Danny Meyer
Richmond: David Gourdis
St Kilda: Tom Simpkin
Sydney Swans: Mike Pyke
West Coast: Lewis Stevenson, Andrew Strijk, Callum Wilson
Western Bulldogs: Andrew Hooper, Brodie Moles

Pearce already proved he can play and Sibsado has a heap of upside.

Geez we've done well.

Pearce should be, but I don't think he is.
The upgrade list means that other teams can't draft them - therefore, Mike Pearce could get grabbed. Also, Jeff Garlett (another one of those miraculous former Black Duck players) is locked in with Carltoon - Clinton Garlett however is roaming free down at Basso. Dr Dawson had him up in the league side for about half the season (mostly ferreting the ball out of the middle packs with Kraks), the rest of the time he played in the colts. Great talent - works extremely well with Prof. Mike Walters.

Joining dots ...

Think it was posted on the Clancee post but being on senior list of ffc website and not AwFL website would suggest he'll be club's nominate rooke for the senior list aka like Barlow in 2010. So he effectivelyhas seniou list playing rights but Rookie list pay with maybe some $$$ perks for games played.

? - Polly I think you're mistaken ... I think he's locked in at Freo for 2011 but there were some new rules about rookies as tradeable commodities, can't re-rookie a bloke if another club committs to putting him on their main list, etc. So at end of 2011 it's main-list or he can walk for another club that'll have him.

If he gets extra bucks then he can at least shout some pies and beers this year - none of that crap imported stuff in green bottles, some real top shelf Emu in good old tins.

I don't get it?

He's listed on the Dockers site as a Senior player.

Wasn't there also a media release from the club a couple or few weeks back that he was elevated?
