and thats why Vickery keeps getting a game.
Hardly any pressure from Coburg for players deserving a game !!
Might also add pre season form poor as well from Griffiths and Derrickx
If they were any good, they would of played round 1

Jack, i have seen every Coburg game to date this year and Derickx has shown absolutly nothing.

He shouldnt even be playing in the Seniors for Coburg, its a total disgrace that Coburg have someone like Rowan Hore who played well at senior level last year and cant get a game coz a Richmond Spud like this guy is keeping him out.

Derrickx has been given every oppurtunity. They played him in the ones for Richmond in every practice game from memory. He does one or two nice things a game and that's it. And people want him to replace Vickery....

I agree
You can put Griffiths in the same category as well

Disagree on the that one, Griff's form has been reasonable when he has played and i have no doubt the kid can play.

He just cant get through a game without getting a knock to the head or an injury.

I think we agree that he wont make it.

you'd think jack would know how griff has gone because he has seen him play heaps at VFL level, even though he has only played a dozen or so games in 2 and bit years.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Also watched him at Eastern Rangers, no thanks
Wasting drafts picks on potential is a huge risk

It's very good news. :)
Hope he can now build on the promising form he's played at Coburg and push for senior selection.

Might further add  he is a great kick. and thats about it

He's also very good below his knees, a strong contested mark, good decision maker and quick.

However the knocks on his ball winning ability and durability are valid.

I really hopes he makes it because if he does it fills a glaring requirement in our team.

MM shows balance, jack shows why he was sacked, who in their right mind would employ that let alone keep it festering in the club
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

More the attitude than opinion. No one can win with an attitude like that   :help
