[one-eyed]

Reserves Finals - 1st Elimination Final

Coburg Tigers  Vs. Sandringham

Sunday 6th September 10.20am

TEAC Oval Port Melbourne


Not sure if any RFC guys are playing but Gilligan (13 ressie games), Putt (11), Polak (9) and Hughes (9) qualify I believe.

[Danog]

How about Gourdis?

How about Gourdis?

Goo only played 5 ressie games according to the VFL site (5 senior games as well). I was surprised too as I thought he played more ressie games.

[Infamy]

Shows how much of an injury affected year he had, wonder if he can still qualify given he hasn't played an AFL game. I thought there was some fine print regarding something like that.

[WA Tiger]

Gilligan and Putt really need to make a show for themselves here, Hughes..... hugh cares,,

You would think from that named side Putty and Gilly are safe. Why play on if you've been cut.

For Cleve, Goo and Polly on the other hand it may be a sign they have been told by the RFC that their services are no longer required?

[Infamy]

I hope Gourdis and Polak are kept, we still need a few talls and they're both young enough
Perhaps Gourdis' hammy still hasn't come good, don't think he's played since, perhaps they just want to get him right for a full preseason

Or they have been told to rest up and prepare for a hard pre-season and an AFL season that will determine their footy futures.

No disrespect to the Burgers' seconds, but why would Polly want to play in VFL seconds finals and risk the lot?

[mightytiges]

For Polly that may be true as he was playing for Richmond but why would Cleve who has played a significant number of ressie games be allowed to miss when Putty and Gilly haven't been? Gilly and Putt played the last few Coburg seniors games yet has gone back to the ressie side to play in the finals. Infamy may be right about Goo's hammy still not being right although he trained last week.

Infamy may be right about Goo's hammy still not being right although he trained last week.

Ben Cousins was back doing running at training the week after doing it in Round 1
It takes 16 weeks for a hamstring to properly repair after tearing it

True a hammy takes far longer to repair completely than the 2-3 weeks players give them but Goo trained fully with the main squad last week rather than just running around the boundary. Stange to make him train if his season was over. It wasn't like he did something stupid like get himself suspended like King did who also were made to train until the last training session despite being ineligible to play.

Reading far too much in to it I reckon

Here's a thought out of left field - perhaps the players themselves made the call that they want to play

Yeah I may be reading too much into it although if you were on the edge of being cut you'd be doing everything in your power to safe your AFL career. Good on Putty and Gilly putting their hands up to play for the experience .
