I would be absolutely staggered if Vandenberg is left on the rookie list! He's a gun and will be a starting mid next year, just like he was this year before injured.Harmes upgrade is a foregone conclusion at this stage. Can see Vandenberg and White being kept on there for another year. King's been on there for two but can't see anyone else picking him up so he'll stay also.
It'll depend on how many senior listed players get delisted as to who is upgraded. If it's quite a few you'd expect that we'd prefer to upgrade VDB and White than go picking around the bottom end of the draft.
Vandenberg is a quality player and a hard nut but I don't think he has a lot of upside. He's not exactly a great kick and he doesn't have a lot of pace. He's definitely in the mix for R1 but I think he'll play as an undersized half-forward rather than in the midfield where he's behind Vince, Jones, Tyson, Viney, Brayshaw and will be competing with the likes of Trengove, Michie, and Newton who arguably bring more diversity to the middle of the ground.I would be absolutely staggered if Vandenberg is left on the rookie list!

We all see things differently. I reckon he's a big bodied mid which we desperately need given our group of short people, he's very tough, loves tackling to hurt and he's good overhead. Knows how to find the footy too. Given another pre-season where he is injury free, I think he will go to another level next year and become a first choice mid.

I'm with you and Tempy. Extremely excited about what he can bring. Love his tackling pressure, big heart and - given he got this amazing opportunity by Melbourne - loyalty likely to hold firm. Love himI think Vandenberg can be huge for us - especially given his late development through the NEAFL.
Love his marking but he's hilariously one sided and it's not a great side at that. Reckon defensive forward with cameos in the middle is his gig.

Yeah, Vanders is signed until 2017. Very rarely does an existing rookie sign a two year deal to remain on a rookie list.Didnt we sign Vandenburg for another 2 years therefore automatic elevation? you can't sign players to 2 year deals on the rookie list
Both will be upgraded, so I don't see the point in ranking them relative to each other.Vanders>Harmes
Want both on the senior list though.
He's no Theo XHave Paul Roos' parking space
You syrian? No way VDB doesn't get a contract.Harmes upgrade is a foregone conclusion at this stage. Can see Vandenberg and White being kept on there for another year. King's been on there for two but can't see anyone else picking him up so he'll stay also.
