Summary
* We identified our future with those 5 (Tambo, Patto, Casserly, Hughes and McGuane) and others. So we moved quickly to secure their longer term future. Showed our confidence in and to Cass by signing him up despite no yet playing a senior game due to injuries.
Tambo - 3 years
Patto, Casserly, Hughes - 2 years
McGuane - 1 year
* White, Thursty, Lids, Foley, Raines - all signed up already so that's it for the moment. Talk to Browny and the remaining guys at the end of the season.
* Browny is a evervescent character. His preseason training was outstanding pace, he got all his pace back. Disappointing he developed a hot-spot. We need his attitude in the rooms as much on the field. Played a couple of games at Coburg and trained strongly last month pain-free. Back to his best and back to his best character too.
* We stayed in Perth a couple of extra days during the break. Went to the beach. The boys who played for Coburg went down to Sorrento. Gave them all a couple of days break to freshen up as a normal footy week involves 6 days of training.
* On Simmo - we may have erred bringing Simmo back in round 3 as the pain returned. Been more cautious this time and gave him longer to recover. First game back will be this weekend for Coburg against North Ballarat.
