Should one of our rookies be now promoted?
« on: July 03, 2008, 03:38:55 PM »
With the positive news on Polly and fingers crossed he eventually makes a full recovery, it's probably okay now to talk about what the club does now as far as promoting a rookie with us being one KPP down.

So should one of our rookies be promoted and if so who?

As much as I'd like to see Collard play, we need to try Cartledge.

I agree with Tigermonk, Bowden out, Patto down back and Cartledge in the ruck.

Yep Cartledge for me to. Patto is stuggling atm so we need to take the pressure off him for a bit so he can focus on developing rather than filling a hole.

I Think you've been clearly misquoted Monk. Wayne is obviously Mike Sheehan taking advantage of his usual quota of poetic license.  :lol

We don't need a big slow full back with Moore & Thursfield holding down the fort plus McGuane on his way back
Howat is a known quantity and probably the least accountable player on our list
Collard has plenty of time to make it and can be rookied for another year
Cartledge has 7 rounds to prove himself as he can't be rookied next year. Give the bloke a go and see what he's got.

Excellent point you make there Infarme.

Cartledge gets my vote.

Carts has had a great year although i think Gus is playing to an equal standard at the moment so he may not be too far away from a Senior performance.

Gus has been starting in the ruck ahead of Carts the last few weeks so it will be interesting to see which way they go.

Bang - On the money.

Particularly because Angus Graham is still an unknown / unproven quantity, and the Warnock trade rumours are very, very strong out West Joondalup way.

Ooh did you sat patto is struggling??

according to some on here he is doing a marvellous job and simmo doesn't need to be rested.

some of you on here, MCMLXV and smokey stripes included, need to get your patto goggles off and see the real picture and that is we are getting smashed out of the centre with tapouts going directly to the oppostion.
Thank god for foley, lids and tucky or we would have won only 2 games this year

I believe this is a direct result of patto and simmo's injury.

patto needs to go and fast. Its so obvious he lacks afl class at the minute

what harm would it do to play cartledge and not patto. he does nothing on the field...

rolls around and does not deserve his spot...

notice johnson of the dees last week??? now he has had a poor year but what a run, chase and kick down field.

one of the finest pieces of play ive seen this year and i can bet my house i wont see simmo or patto do that.

we have enough passengers, goodbye patto say hi to schulz and pathetic pettifer

This just proves what an idiot you are.

Show me where I have even mentioned Patto in my posts.
