Congratulations to Cam Howat and Jake King

Can we re-instate King on the rookie list and promote Graham? Or do we need to wait for another injury to promote Graham?

Why promote jake if he was not going to play.
It is a waste, with a ruck the way it is, would Gus have been a better idea.

he was an emergency! if there was an injury or two then he would have played.

and getting promoted is a reward for hard work. it tells the player that they are close, and if they continue to work hard they will get a game.

You draft Kids play them.

this debate will go on, but you can't just play rookies for the sake of it, if they're not ready physically or mentally they'll get smashed.

Im not sure they can do that...but with knobs injured indefinitely they could promote Gus but i think they wont, they'll just stick it out till Simmo comes back.

What a load of bull. He could have been told he was he was close without been upgraded.
If you promote someone they should play.

TM said the same thing all last year about Limbach ... and you all ran him down all year ;)

He also said the same about Terry Wallace a couple of years ago. :hihi
 
Everyone will want no. 46 on their back after they see Jake play he does not take a backward step.. Kelvin Moore played ok on sunday but when he went half hearted at that contest when walker ran through to easily and goaled Jake would of gone straight through him.. A couple of years ago Jake had 3 wishes he wanted to win a senior GF (which he did) , to get best on in a GF (which he did) , and play 1 AFL game.....
