Will we promote another rookie next week?

[tigerlily]

If we have the cleanout of older players people are suggesting, Silvester will certainly get a senior contract next year, at 23 is the KPP age bracket most in demand, he is a very good one on one fullback and has become more attacking this year, if we delist him he will get picked up by another club, hope he and Gourdis get a chance this year, maybe give Sugar a farwell game and gracefully retire him, get both boys 4 or 5 games this year.

Either, but just play them if you promote them. We need to know if they have any chance of make it otherwise cut them loose.

Agreed. How can we realistically make a call on these guys if they are never given a chance to show their form? If McGuane becomes a forward then Silvester could fill the hole nicely.

I reckon Silvestor would be a waste, get a gig in seniors, have his lack of speed exploited and he'd go back to Coburg for the rest of the year.

Apparently, and those who regularly attend Burger games can back me up here, his speed is one area of his game he has seemed to improve this year playing for Coburg.

Yes his speed AND his body strength has improved.
I certainly wouldn't be promoting Gourdis on his Coburg form.
Don't we need to keep a spot for Nahas if Sugar comes off the LTL?

Richardson Injury - Nahas
Retire Simmonds - Browne
Retire Johnson - Gourdis
2nd Half of the Season Rookie Elavation - Sylvester

Whether they get a game would depend on whether they deserve it and team balance but all should be on the list incase the opportunity arises.

Sylvestor has Prestigiacomo written all over him. Whether that's what we want or need is another issue. I think he should be tried. We can't go much worse.

You can't elevate a rookie for a retirement
