Promoting Angus??? Worth it?

[nugget_12]

With Browny on the injury list indefinantly would it be worth promoting angus graham to give simmo a hand in the ruck and also to give him a taste of senior footy?

i know he is still learning and it could be a case of throwing the kid in the deep end before he can swim.
but IMO simmo needs a hand while he gets his fitness back and it could be a great learning curve for angus.

Thoughts??

I don't reckon. He just hasn't got 'it'. Which is a shame, because he is a massive lad.

No different to knobel and at least he is younger,i'd give him a crack.

No point. He wouldn't play ahead of Pattison, so it would be a waste of $25,000.

Too right give the guy a chance. I remember going to watch the Eagles over here a few years back and guys like Seaby and Hunter used to run around like lost sheep, they had no idea!!.

They need to train these young guys up. Its best to let them find their feet in coburg than just thow them into the seniors. Playing them too early can just delay their progress and make them lose their confidence.

We have Patto as back-up plus Polak pinch-hitting in the ruck. Absolutely no need to promote Graham until he proves he is worthy, which judging on current form, may never happen.

precisely, No need at all

No, he's not up to AFL standard at all yet.

u said browny is on the list indefinately, has there been no indication whatsoever as to when he may return? he's an unbelievable player and its terrible to see him struck down so badly with injury. can anyone help me out?
