Arghhh the brudders 

Yes Moi I think he will play b4 the end of the season. Incredible leap - jumped for a couple of ruck contests  is all I can say/do

Interesting thing yesterday was that by the end of the day his lack of fitness showed - moved very slowly in the last 10 minutes (maybe that was the excess mud he was carrying ) - there is a gap between VFL seniors and ressies

so should Krakouer be back in the team and play midfield ???

[bluey_21]

and on-ballers Luke McGuane (promoted) and Alistair Neville (injured)

luke an onballer ???

Krakouer, 24, who hasn't cemented a regular spot at Richmond in seven seasons, ploughed through the quagmire at the Coburg City Oval to finish with 38 disposals (23 kicks, 15 handballs).

this is why we need krak on our list, he is just 24. we trade or delist him now we will pay the price.
if krak gets enough game time, game after game, in the midfield ,his fitness will improve. he is the smartest footballer along with brown we have.
let him go we will be punished. terry wallace has to just get over his gripe with krak and give him some confidence and a real go, we all know terry had it in for rodan, and he does for krak, lets hope terry does not make the same mistake twice.

u hear miller say in the paper we need more mids, well why the f did they get rid of rodan for. krak is important to our team, and we betetr sign him up again.

some say he does not get the ball enough . well he does not get equal midfield game time and it has nothing to do with his fitness, terry has it in 4 him, prob cos he is so close to spud.

now what would u rather see, krak getting 15 kicks and knowing all 15 will hit a target lace out

or tuck and tiv getting 20 kicks each, where only 10 or 12 kicks will hit a  target , and the rest are turned over or go to a spot that disadvantages our team

do ur math!

that's a bit generous there X    .

But with Krak, he is def a footballer not an athlete and that is his downfall.

I am willing to give him another year on a performance based contract, but if he doesn't do anything next year it is bye bye from me

He could only be played in 10-min bursts off the bench if you wanted to play Krak in the midfield at AFL level.

[torch]

problem with krakouer is that he doesn't get enough of the football ...

he has skill ... can kick a football !!! ... just looks slow ... i agree with "MT" ... give him a year contract ...

[{X}]

give krak a real crack in the middel to gain his fitness, u dont need speed, look at greg williams

and btw, the coburg tigers run the ball more fluent and faster than the tigers and krak gets enough of the ball there, why , because collins gives him the chance

but what era did Diesel play in, Krak could have killed it if he were born in that gen

Krak has had 3 outstanding weeks at Coburg.

Does he deserve another chance? Yep absolutely based on his form

However, I don't think he could play an enitre game in the middle field, perhaps 10-15 minutes a quarter and that has been the problem for his enitre career. Personally I'd take that at this stage. He clearly has the smarts and we need more footy smarts, lots more footy smarts

Match Report Vs. Box Hill
coburgtigers.com.au

The Tigers made it four wins in a row on Saturday against a strong Box Hill side at ABD Group Stadium. Although the scores were level at half time Coburg kicked 10 goals to 4 after the main break to run out comfortable 38 point winners.

On what was a warm winter’s day, unfortunately the centre square was still a quagmire, as the grounds heavy scheduling hasn’t allowed for the grass to regrow. That aside the ground was in good condition and allowed for a skillful fast paced game. It was great to see a lot of Coburgs sponsors attending the match.

Andrew Krakouer’s form in the VFL has been exceptional, and it continued again on Saturday. Krakouer collected 38 disposals playing in the midfield, including 23 kicks and was named best on ground. Other Richmond listed players Richard Tambling and Cleve Hughes also played solid games; Tambling collected 22 possessions across the half forward line, while Hughes pulled down 10 marks at Centre Half Forward.

With Jack Riewoldt selected for Richmond and Kent Kingsley unavailable because of a quad injury it left a hole in the Coburg side. However that was successfully filled by Patrick Bowden. Bowden has struggled through the season with a hip injury, but showed no signs of that on Saturday. He started down back in the first quarter before moving forward to take 10 marks and lead the goal kicking with 4 majors. Brent Hartigan and ruckman Angus Graham, also moved forward kicking 2 goals for the Burgers.

Fortunato Caruso was back in the seniors this week after a couple of excellent games in the reserves. Caruso’s pace and ability to get the ball at ground level was superb and he finished with 2 goals and was named in the best. Travis Ronaldson and Paul Shelton continued their great seasons and were also amongst Coburgs better players.

Coburg play the Casey Scorpions next week at Casey Fields on Sunday 29th July.

Spot on WP.

But he'll play 55% of the game on the ground in the FP.

   I hit a button?!

I dont think he should play forward pocket, he's proven to be no good at that position over 6 years.  I think he should play 65% of the game and all in the midfield, give him a real shot.

But Terry wont do that.
