Regardless of if he is up too it or not young Angus needs to be promoted if Simmonds is not 100% leading into this week.

If Richo is out for 6 weeks give him 7, put him on the injured list and get the kid up. Simply for the fact to keep some structure in place for the rest of the team.

Let's see him have a crack and if their are signs worth while of keeping him on the list.

IF simmonds is only going to be out for 2 weeks. Theres no need to promote another player from the rookie list. Only if Simmonds was long term.
 
So you are suggesting we throw away a good sum of money to promote a kid who has shown next to nothing at Coburg level.

How about promoting kids on merit..

The money would be spent on the basis of the future structure of the playing group. If Simmonds is not 100% for the sake of team structure ( I beleive it is somewhat important to a developing team) put the kid in.

Their is no point playing people out of position.

agreed, give gus a go, at least it gives the team a dinkum structure to work with...and who knows, may just show a bit
 
I think a player has to be out a minimum 8 weeks to elevate a rookie. Looks like Tuck or Polak will be our second ruck for the next couple of weeks.
 
The youth are gonna really miss the leadership, experience and pure heart of Richo on the field.
