White gone in 12 months, MCGuane as well, Derickx needs a big one, Newy needs to recapture some of his old form or he may struggle also. one of King or Nahas and Jacko who creates the most discussion on here who is out of contract a year from now.

I would hope all of newman, Jackson & Tuck spend time at Coburg this season. If that happens the team is genuinely on the up.

Tuck won't MM, I don't think but the first two are in trouble. Midfield depth and backline depth is quite deep.

Tuck will play given the season he had last year and Jako in a perfect world will be lucky to play 10 games this season.

If the match committee are fair dinkum Newman needs to earn his spot but I feel out of respect he'll get first crack wherever he plays and given the win loss ratio he will either keep his spot or end up playing curtain raisers.

Agree with you Tucker

I reckon Newy really struggled in 2012.

think there are a number players that are "depth" (read experienced with bigger bodies) players on our list

Clearly there are the obvious ones like McGuane, Derrickx who I don't think are under the pump as such because they will only get games when we need to cover a spot in the seniors.

However, there are those I think need to be more consistent. Eg Newy, Nahas, Houli ( :o ) who are facing big years all of them had good days but went missing alot during games.

Then sadly there are those who I don't think it matters what happens they seem to survive eg Jackson, Dea,

you are as bad with tuck as some posters are with edwards, magic man.

Your kidding yourself if you think tuck,newman or even jackson will spend time in the vfl... tuck had a great year and is our in and under player... newman was injured in the second part of the year and only kept playing for the chance to play finals.... and as for jackson well the jury is out with him this maybe his last season in the yellow and black at the crossroads....

the one i think maybe in trouble moving forward maybe king i think nahas is a better player then him and they will be playing for that one spot specially  know that knights is here......

richmond will know be chasing toy in the dec draft after the latest grimes injury...

The biggest one under the pump has to be Martin.

gotta disagree i think midfield depth very shallow even with knights and vlastuin.

both jackson and tuck are more than likely safe as houses because of the lack of depth. in tucks case he has earnt it. in fact who on the list can perform his role if he were to miss the yr.

i tend to agree on newman especially if we do the right thng and and blood vlastuin in of a hbf. imo the thing that saves newman is the dire lack of experienced players and games played.

Brendon Lade if Maric falls over.

Nothing on the list can save the current ruck division should Ivan succumb to injury for 2 or more weeks.

Prepare to be shocked. Edwards is a freak and can produce some seriously good football. Not sure why you have a vendetta against him, he's a ripper bloke.
He might be a ripper bloke as so was miller and his ripper hot Mrs. But besides Mrs miller what benefit was he?
Pointless pickup IMO. But purely as a backup plan fair enough.

It's about time we get a settled team that will take us into finals. Then 2014 top four then you could consider an old timer to fill a specific role (if we have need of someone) for 2015,16,17 when we are a triple premiership threat.  :thumbsup
okay all we keep on getting from you is hes a waste . no reason why apart from hes got on the pee a few  times  and he will be 29 next yr. how about you actually tell us why in football terms.
you know strengths weaknesses  performances where he fits in the list flexability etc. you clearly have a problem with age perhaps you can tll us all how we are travelling for experienced players.  is he a different better option than say white omg. will we get more from him than say macdonald,  if your going to bag em put up or shut up. just remember bud we are all waiting and ready to give you poo if you cant make any sense which by the way is quite often.

i could ask for more but i doubt you will even reply and make a legit attempt at answering the very simple questions ive asked that a ten yr old could.
His strengths are his leading marking and kicking for goal. But he's only influential when opposed to a third string backman. Once he's got a decent backman on him he's useless so I suppose with the likes of reiwoldt and Vickery up forward he might be ok for us with a third string backman on him.
The problem I have with him which I have stated over and over if you bothered to read is that I don't feel he's the right fit. Too immature and not fairdinkum as highlighted by his off field problems.

For the club to get an older player for experience as they did with Miller I can understand that he has exemplary character and can help the youngster around the club settle in whilst being an example for the youngsters to follow.
A. Edwards isn't a good example, is very inconsistent and is still a kid in his attitude.
You mention he was on the pee in the off season but consistantly fail to mention he was locked up and fined. So he can't be trusted even at his age than what sort of example is that going to be to impressionable youngsters coming through.
It's the last thing we need at this time in our team development.
The club got him for added depth so in my opinion they shouldn't play him unless all other options are fully exhausted and even then I doubt he'll be effective at all.
Just my opinion claw.
The club that keeps giving.
