Which Rookie should be given the nod?

The 2 promoted will be Howat and its bloody close call out of King and Gus for the 2nd spot, King's stocks have risen in the last few weeks and i wouldn't be surprised if he gets the nod along side Howat.
 
I personally think if a 2nd rookie is required, it should be reviewed around 8 weeks into the season, considering Carl Peterson's status (or if we sustain another long term injury), if the club can afford, and if it's worth the risk of elevating another player.

Tivendale should of gone and Howat replaced him. Now we cant promote Howat, or can we promote 2 rookies because we desperatley need another ruckman, and Graham has actually played well in the pre-season ::)
You must be joking.
A top 6 b&f player does not get sacked.

The fact he was top 6 B&F is a joke
So you are saying Terry and the boys got it wrong.
If they did the votes,yes.

Look I don't think anyone can get away from the fact that last year Tivva was a hundred times better than his form the year before which was excerable. When the guy is down he is a shocker. The odd mail that has been around that he is down on form again is a big worry. Tivva is in our best 22. Like many others, I believe that while this is a fact, finals footy will always be just out of reach. Calls for his head prior to rd 1 are ridiculous. Like everyone else he has to be given the chance to demonstrate he can improve this season or failing that, others have to prove that they are good enough to take his spot away. Despite hyperbole and crys of "potential" and "improvement" 6th in the best and fairest would indicate that most aren't. :help

Tivendale being in the Top 6 @ B&F, all that does is show how really poor our list is.
