Title: Will Humm get a lift?
Post by: Mopsy on April 08, 2006, 12:31:59 PM
Will the unfortunate injury to Will Thursfield result in the elevation to the senior list for Jerremy Humm?

Be interesting to know how he performs this Sunday at Coburg.

He might be a good replacement in the team for Krakouer when the selectors finally bite the bullet.

More than likely will get promoted - let's hope he makes the most of it.

Our depth is already being tested and it’s only round 2.  If nothing else, Humm has been in the AFL system for a few seasons, so probably has the capacity to play most games, unlike most of our first and second year players.

I dont think we should rush into promoting anyone on the list. I am keen to see Humm get a run, but he should have to earn it.

We still have people in the mold of Polo, Chaffey, Roach and i am sure there are others who would be pushing for a run also.

I agree that Humm has been in the system and has the body size to be a ready made player in our senior line up.

Go Tigers.

He's on our rookie list for this reason. A mature body that can come straight in if needed. Unfortunately we'll be replacing a tall with a small which doesn't help our key defensive stocks :-\. We're got to hope Razor returns quickly to full fitness.

Spot on Bully the ball is in Humm's court now but I reckon he must earnt he right ot be promoted and his form in the last few weeks of the practice matches had tappered off a bit
