He did get close towards the end of the year.
Dimma did talk him up but was that to give confidence to the kid, or that we had no other tall option to go too as Chol was poor, Soldo injured and CJ suspended. ??
Make or break year next year for him.

Clubs are rorting the system but that’s what the AFL have given the clubs to work with.
For us it’s been a goldmine.
We have used it to advantage us.
Now with the new rule for next year clubs will use the system more.
Unfortunately this is what COVID brought on sport , the world and our lives.
Todd actually played in the seniors. Miller hasn't even been close
Baker has been promoted according to ALF.com.
But yes the rookie list idea needs a serious re-working.
Rookie list still doesn't make sense if you can pay them anything you want.
Minimum term is only 1 year compared to 2 years when you draft them to the main list. Thats the key difference other than $80k being banked outside the TPP.
Its a pretty generous concession if you go with the minimum on the main list and then take 8 rookies. 8 * $80k per year is $640k that is treated outside of the TPP.
Todd Elton did'nt have the best development team in the land behind him nor was he trying to break into a premiership squad.
Not saying he would of been a success but not comparable IMO.
In terms of rookie list benefit is 1 year deals and 640k not counted in the TPP.
Why wouldnt they simply extend the main list, increase the TPP and allow players picked after the 3rd round to be given a one year deal?
Keeps it simple and all players equal on the list.
Of course the real benefit is that rookie is used in American sports, which makes the AFL feel important

Yeah fair call. It is like being shifted to the back pocket - you know the next move will be out the door.
By all reports Miller came on a bit in 2020 but it's a shame we didn't see him in the vfl. He was emergency a couple of times
last chance saloon for him
