George upgraded

SCOOP said:
Strategically, I'm not sure I understand this move.

Was someone going to pick him in the draft? Maybe.

But we could've kept him on rookie wages & the rookie list for next year.

Unless he is absolutely on the verge of getting picked, I'm not sure there was the rush. I don't mind the boy and I don't need to debate his skill set or merit, it's more around the timing of the move.

1 less draft pick needs to be used in the 2015 national draft

That's not a positive. We now have to make one extra rookie pick at the back end of weakened draft.

My point was we could have kept George a rookie and had a earlier pick to replace Foley.

It's still George + 1 player, it's if that player is taken from the national or rookie draft.

Come on, every club decision must be criticised, you must know that by now.

He's only upgraded for remainder of this season isnt he?

Even if he doesnt get a game its a good motivational carrot for him to keep working on his game.
 
I was surpised he was elevated because he has pace and dare but then i realised he sprays them around a bit so it made sense ;D

Seriously good luck to Jason and eschewing the rather obvious and tedious Seinfeld reference, I think i'll call him Transporta' after his namesake Jason Statham and the fact it will be his role to transport da footy from the back ''arf to the front 'arf no questions asked!!.

Tranny for short?
 
Is it a farce because he's not getting picked or folly that he was upgraded?

BTW I'm outraged.
 
Wow, from the start of the year to now, I reckon George has made a remarkable physical transformation.

Definitely gone from a boy to a man, and all in a pretty short time-frame. Hoping he make it even more now, as he is a unit that would be great to have running off half back through the wings and middle.

You know, I am kind of glad about that, well sort of... ;D

Mrs Hampson must be a proud woman! ;)

If George grew that big within these 12 months, we'd have ASADA knocking on our door. ;D
