Graham promoted to the AFL Seniors   but super effort by the big man

Don't think  he will make his debut this week but signs are looking impressive  

We may just have another rookie-listed gem on our hands

Foley, Thursfield, Kingy, and to some extent Howat

[mightytiges]

Howat and White are on the bench so presumably one or both may make way. Unless Patto is given a rest (he didn't train with the main group that much yesterday) or they've decided to give Simmo more gametime at Coburg then I don't think Gus will come in this week. I'd reckon the ins will be Moore and Jack.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Jack has been playing in the backline at Coburg he should come in and play in defence on a Petrie or Leigh Brown type of player. Hopefully the kid will get more game time than he did when we played the Bombers.

Well done to big Gus on his elevation Would be surprised to see him play seniors this week though.

I reckon Jack is a monty to play and probably Moore.

Could Hughes be insurance for Richo in case he doesn't come up? MT in his training report the other day said the big bloke looked proppy

I reckon the ABC will get their biggest TV audience this week as we all tune into see who's playing for Coburg which will tell us who is playing for Richmond

pattison has a challenge this week

Mcintosh has been in scintillating form

Is that a hint WP?

Yeah possibly WP although we'll see if Richo trains tomorrow. Going by yesterday he'd be doubtful as he couldn't run after going into the rooms then coming back out. But that's what I thought about Petts same time last week and he ended up training friday and playing his best game for the year. Hopefully the big fella is okay although we know of one OERite who would be very happy if Richo's 250th was delayed by a week so they can get back from holiday to see it live lol.

The fact Hughes is an emergency ahead of Kingsley and Schulz I think says something too.

craig mcrae said that kk reinjured his ankle in the last quarter during teh game last week

kk is gone though at the yr and i reckon jay will be traded or let go

I know some have disagreed with me regarding my opinion of Angus but I believe this kid will be a dead set star. He reminds me very much of a young Simmo and from what I've seen, he's not a bad shot at goal either.

C'mon Terry give him a run!   

[wayne]

Now is as good a time than any to see if he can play.

Nothing to lose.

can't say I see a young simmo pretty much cos I never really seen a young simmo.

Also with his set shot kicking. Statistical IIRC is quite good, but does have an awkward stabby action

[bluey_21]

as for being a star I'll hold it to you tiga 

BTW how long did it take Sandilands and Cox to debut

[mightytiges]

BTW how long did it take Sandilands and Cox to debut

Sandilands was elevated off the Freo rookie list in 2002. Debuted in R1, 2003 at age 20, played 19 games.
Cox was elevated off the Eagles rookie list in 2000. Debuted in R2, 2001 at age 19, played 17 games.

Gus still needs to work on his kicking IMO. He's 20 years old btw.
