Darren Pfeiffer has been promoted to the senior list as the nominated rookie. Aaron Mullett from North has also been promoted - http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/131064/default.aspx
5 players today upgraded to senior list, Nominated Rookie Rule Ian Callinan - Crows Ed Curnow & Zach Tuohy - Carl James Magner - Melb Darren Pfeiffer - P Adel.
that seems to be the full list (deadline was 2pm). I must say I am a bit surprised at how few upgrades there were. But when I go through who I was expecting only the Magnet occurs to me.
@Choppers The 'Rookies Upgraded For 2012' article on the AFL website looks pretty final to me mate. Freo's website still has Spurr as a rookie as well so I guess he's out of contention for fantasy teams. Maybe this setback will 'spurr' him on to greater things.
Wow, there were a few less than I would have expected... But there is still time for clubs to upgrade rookies if replacing LTIs - can be done anytime, so there's still a chance for some others before round 1. I'm stressing though, as I am relying on a certain amount of rookies (most of which have not been upgraded yet) in my team to allow enough $$$ for the rest of it. I running a real tight budget and I will likely go bust when finalising my team

Don't know if I should now include Morris too.hmmmm! what to do...
Would've liked to see Spurr's name. Will Ross Lyon turn one of the most rookie successful fantasy teams into a team like St Kilda who didn't play the kids!?
Brisbane Lions have upgraded Niall McKeever from the long-term injury list as the replacement for Brent Staker. Fremantle has placed Viv Michie on the long-term injury list, with no replacement named at this stage.
Hawthorn has placed Alex Woodward on the long-term injury list and upgraded Broc McCauley from the rookie list as his replacement.
surely this means that spurr is going to be promoted? then he will be promoted straight into my team!
Patrick Keane ? @AFL_PKeane Melbourne has upgraded Tom Couch from the rookie list as the replacement for Neville Jetta, who was already on the long-term injury list.
Great news on Couch, hopefully now gets a decent run in the seniors. Was named in the best for the Melbourne reserves over the weekend.
