Does anybody know if the ABC broadcast for VFL games begin this week with round 1 ?
Anyone have a shortcut to this info ?
I've had a look but cant find any info.

Yeah, it's Willy v Collingwood

Newett .....

* 23 Coburg players turned over; 14 at Richmond

* First home game at Craigieburn in round 3.

* Development vs Coburg coach. How do you combine the two?
Sat down with Hardwick and they want a successful Coburg side. Have players earning their spot and Richmond players reaching their potential.

* Sam Power has replaced Tim Clarke's role as on ground 'coach' to help pass on what it takes to prepare to play AFL.

* Nick Carnell is captain. Understands the balance between Richmond players coming back and Coburg players at times waiting their turn.

* 7 Calder Cannon guys have come on board.

* Griffiths will play in the ressies. Astbury will play as well (I think seniors). The sooner we fast-track these two in the Richmond side the better.

* Stresses to Calder guys who missed out on the draft that there's a stronger pathway via the VFL to the AFL with the new AFL teams coming in.

a little bit more from Newett....

* McMahon - injured this weekend. Good runner and an exquisite kick  . Played very well down at Frankston two weeks ago. We'll give him every opportunity to work his way into the Richmond side.

* Taylor and Dea both playing this weekend for the Coburg seniors. Dea has been very solid over the preseason running off HB.

* Webberley - attacking defender and kicks the ball well which is why he was drafted (Newett played against Webbs down in Tassie when Webbs was 16).

Thanks for the reports OE, so really by about rounds 6-8 we should really know who wants to put their hand up, McMahon included.

Amen to that

VFL Preview from the Herald-Sun

CRUNCH TIME
By SAM LANDSBERGER
SAT 10 APR 2010, Page 062



COBURG TIGERS
Coach: David Newett (new)
Captain: Nick Carnell
AFL affiliate: Richmond
2009: 11th
Key arrivals: Sam Power (Nth Melb), Justin Kahlefeldt (Southport), Shane Piuselli (Glenorchy)
Key departures: Tim Clarke, Nick Little, Andrew Horn
Big year for: TAC Cup graduates Tom Lucin and James Lawton.

Coach says: "We've put no ceiling on what we want to achieve. If we can get some consistency in our performance hopefully the result takes care of itself. We just want to improve on last year's performance.''

Sam says: Coburg will hope to shelve a turbulent 2009 and stabilise this season after recruiting a raft of kids. A return to the finals appears out of reach.

Flag odds: $26
Prediction: 12th
