From twitter:

@puntrdend17 - "Coburg down by 50 and Griffiths now playing lose man down back!!!! Elton going ok. Edwards rarely seen. Werribee far to good in first half"

And some people want him playing seniors just ask '65.   

[one-eyed]

In fairness the ball has spent most of the time in Werribee's forward half.

3rd qtr has started and Werribee has already banged on 3 goals. This could blow out to 100 pts  .

Coburg        7.4-46
Werribee  18.7-115

[one-eyed]

85 pts down midway 3rd qtr. Six goals to nil this qtr .

Coburg        7.7-49
Werribee  21.8-134


Our own stand alone VFL side can't come quick enough. As soon as Coburg doesn't contain mostly RFC players in their side they become totally uncompetitive. The Coburg-listed players aren't VFL standard.

Yeah Coburg kicked a goal  . Broke a run of about 10 goals to Werribee. McBean with his 2nd.

55 - 146

[torch]

To have two 100+ point losses is disgraceful!

 

[one-eyed]

3/4 time.

Coburg      3.3     7.4       8.7-55
Werribee   9.3   15.6    23.8-146

Goals: McDonough 2, McBean 2, Clifton 2, Griffiths, Carnell

Not 100 yet flash.

I thought with our perceived depth we would be more competitive at times this year with Coburg.
Questions I would like to raise is whether our perceived depth is a myth and we are still weak at the lower end of our list and the kids are not coming on as we would like or with our reserves reverting to the Richmond Footy Club and not Coburg are the players and the club just not giving a stuff and politically internally it is reflecting with the on field results due to lack of resources which rightly so should go to Richmond because I am a Richmond supporter not a Coburg one.

Az Edwards with his first of the day to start the last qtr.

Coburg       9.7-61
Werribee  23.8-146

Paul Ager ‏@RT_73 - "@Tigers_of_Old @ttmac_ @puntrdend17 Griff arguably best for Coburg today"


Saad kicks another for Coburg. Maybe Werribee are switching off.

67 - 146

the depth is for richmond not coburg.

As our depth players move up then coburg are losing their better players

[one-eyed]

Coburg at least playing out the game. Ball has hardly been in Coburg's defence so far this qtr which makes a 180 degree change from the first 3 qtrs.

73 - 147

I know they are our players Al but Coburg are still having some heavy losses as was the case last year.
Blokes like Astbury Griffiths Dea Arnot Elton etc should be pushing for senior selection and add blokes like Edwards who we recruited as back up and the revolving door of Whites, Nahas etc can certainly give Coburg some extra oomph which bodes well for Richmond by adding depth but lamentably it seems that consistency with some blokes is lacking whether they play for RFC or Coburg.

[Hellenic Tiger]

20 Richmond listed players from Thursday's selected team and even if a few play tomorrow against the fairies that still leaves about 15 RFC listed players for Coburg Al.

[one-eyed]

Werribee has woken up again. Margin back out to 89.

Coburg      12.11-83
Werribee  27.10-172

Shocking!
