There has to come a time when blokes who are doing OK at Coburg get a run for 2-3 weeks to see if they are up to it. Not sure why we couldn't have let McGuane have a rest for a couple more weeks and check Gourdis out. IMHO our back 6 has improved but McGuane has probably been the least impressive oveer the course

Coach wants to get a number of games into a core group of younger players - at least thats how it seems, Vickery seems to be in this group.

As mentioned in the Coburg thread, Polo isn't playing for Coburg today. So either a late change (?) or he's a spare 23rd-man.

Polo's most likely been just kept back to cover any late injury tomorrow but I wonder if he is also there just in case Kingy isn't fully right. Dimma did say Kingy shouldn't have played on with that severe corky last week and the Club hasn't mentioned that Kingy is playing his 50th this week  ???.

Hmmm I said Kingy corky looked a bad one, then there's Matty White's maybe they are monitoring that? I think there were some sore blokes after last week's game so I suppose anything is possible

They trainind this morning didn't they?

Actually saw Benny Nason today at Willi - his eye/check looked OK - swelling had gone down almost completely  :clapping

It depends

Some weeks it is the majority other weeks it's a few

There didn't seem to be many there yesterday.

They had trained in the morning and it was bloody freezing yesterday so maybe many decided not to go

I am still trying to work out why I bothered  ;D
