Rawlings has taken over as coach right?

Inside Football said Andy Collins applied for the West Adelaide job. So he left Coburg.

5 goals down.

Playing ordinary.

Edwards going well but not too many others playing well.

Just for record. We've kicked 5 goals to Willy's 10.

Coburg lost by abouut 3 goals. Sounds like a bit better second half.

Tigers for Life said Alex Rance will be captain of Richmond day.

I missed most of the second half due to commitments but the boys fought back and probably lost by about 2-3 goals.

It was a fairly scrappy match but most of the RFC boys got a good run under their belts.

From what i seen Polo did well tagging Gia, Edwards was good across HF, Putt looks very promising, Cass was solid.

In the Coburg Seconds game Rance made his comeback from an ankle injury and was fantastic, his attitude and leadership (yes leadership from a 18 y/o) was brilliant.

This kid is a natural leader and also a gun footballer. Very attacking and very hard at it. He strives to make every post a winner and has that winning mentality that a Captain requires. This kid will be Captain of the RFC at some stage as long as he stays here.

Collard played for the 2's also and was impressive, worked hard around the ground and showed his superior skill level.

The 2's won by 7 points.

I will probably think of some more tomorrow, no injuries which was also pleasing.

Cheers for the report and updates TFL  :cheers.

I can't understand why the likes of Polo and Edwards aren't playing for Richmond unless they are carrying a niggle or in Edwards case still a niggle in his quad.

Any reason why Collard is playing in the VFL ressies?  :-\

The word from training this week is Putt will play round 1 for Coburg seniors.

Any sign of young Rhett Jordan?

Rhett played in the 2's and was ok.

Agree with your comments MT and it is exactly what i was discussing on the phone last night to a fellow poster  :shh

Edwards, Connors, Cass and Polo should be playing seniors.

In regards to Putt playing Round 1, it will depends on were Cartledge plays. If he comes back to ruck with Graham for Coburg Putt may play 2's or even as a tall forward in the ones.

This is another reason why the McMahon trade was a really bad trade for us. People in football know the Rance family is a good football family and that Alex Rance is a good kid with the correct qualities to succeed in footy. If we had pick 19 we could have added Scott Selwood to our club and he is another kid with the correct qualities and leadership to succeed. We gave up a chance for Selwood for McMahon and that is a bad bad mistake.

I reckon Polo has done something and been given a pre season ban from playing in the ones and maybe the club has kept it in house. All of his form according to the pundits has been v.good from intra club through to practice matches but not one run in the seniors.
WTF?
Anyone heard anything?

Isn't the Coburg coaching job on a part-time basis?
Andy Collins was Career & Welfare Manager for Cricket Victoria as well as coach of Coburg. Didn't seem to be too many hats.

He is coming back from that shoulder that kept popping out. Perhaps they are giving it more time and being cautious prior to the real stuff. That's the only thing I can think of.

Needs to improve his fitness I'm guessing. He was also in the rehab group last week at training.
