IMO. As to any potential elevation for Trav, who should be put on the LTI list surely, there are 3 possibilities But these need to be evaluated in terms of the needs of the team.
McKernan. No brainer. 100% Must be elevated.
Stein: We have plenty of medium sized defenders right now. No need for another, unless we want to play Stein instead of Gwilt, which is actually not a bad idea particularly if we cannot make the finals.
Aylett: Is useful at VFL level, but questionable at AFL level IMO. Hard to see if theres improvement possible.
McKenna. He is the sort of player we really really need up forward in the AFL, agility, sprint ability, goal sense, good aerial skills for his size. Not quite ready for AFL, but might be soon imo depending on how he performs in the 2s against better sides like Willi and Port over the next 2 weeks. If he performs well against those teams and kicks goals, its worth elevating him, he might be able to play a couple of games at the end of the year.
But its probably important not to play him before he is ready.
racist, booooooo
Long returns to the VFL from injury this week doesnt he

So apparently we can potentially elevate 3 rookies (provided both Coyler and TBell are placed on LTI list). Who reckons this guy needs to come up to the senior list?
Not this year. They will obviously promote Smack, keep the other two in the pocket and use them on a needs basis.

Who was his direct apponent/s and did they do any damage whilst Conor was on them. I couldn't tell from the tv and the commentators didn't seem to know who he was so weren't much help.
For a large part of the game he was on Nathan Wright (No.34), who didn’t have much of an impact.
The commentators had no idea who Conor was and nobody knows who Nathan Wright is.
Is quite quick.Comparing him to the quickest on our list: Colyer, Long, Razz, Tippa, Eades, Morgan? (no particular order). I would say he is one or two gears slower than them, however they all have serious wheels. I’d say he sits in or around the category of: Jerrett, Edwards, Dempsey… just a tad slower than the others. Just my view.

At this stage we can only really go by what he does at VFL level where he has been very good. As brem06 said, he looks creative, quick and highly skilled by foot. So that’s where the rating of him comes from. He needs continuity at AFL level before we, or indeed the club, evaluate their expectations.
