Lin Jong has had a very good second half in the VFL side. Well done.

[chef]

Good stuff.

Congratulations Lin, has worked hard to get a senior gig.

[LostDoggy]

Yep, good on him.

I thought he showed a bit this year as well and deserved an upgrade.

[Twodogs]

If he continues to improve at the rate he's heading he should be a good player. I'm pleased to see his hard work rewarded.

[EasternWest]

I'm ok with this.

[Maddog37]

Good on him. Good story and I think he can be ok for us.

Nice work Jongy, you are the most suicidal throw yourself at everything guy i've seen at our club in ages.

Only if every player at our club had the same attitude as you do.

Sorry to be glass half empty, but Lin needs to improve his disposal.
Efforts great, and deserves a chance to prove himself.

Does this mean the rest of the rookie list won't be staying on? I'd have thought they'd be released at the same time

The new Daniel Cross.

You would think so, although the highlights video was posted a while before the announcement so maybe they accidentally leaked Jong's promotion early and there is more to come.

[SonofScray]

Probably the only rookie I could confidently make an argument for to stay on the list and feel certain we'd get a good return out of the decision. Disposal aside, he plays the game the way we would love to see become a gold standard for our Club. Physical, relentless attempts to apply pressure or win the footy. He'll improve and if he was the last bloke on the list we'd still be doing well.

Not necessarily, the Austin & Redpath decisions may be based on who we get from trading & drafting
