[TIGER 03]

missing from the squad are : raines, polak, richarson, jackson, collard, hyde,  putt,  gourdis. seems like all have been rested


conners, edwards,  rance,  Mcguane, meyer, cotchin, graham, thursfield, coughlan. all injured or returning from injuries.


what do you make out of collard, gourdis, and putt not getting a game? are they that far from getting a game. I can understand putt, but not the other two.

they will most likely get a run in the next game

I think the hype on Gourdis before the draft was overboard. There are many attributes that are exciting about him (he's a solid big boy) but he is a long-term prospect IMO like Putt. Kicking and endurance need more work for starters. The club obviously want Collard to work more on his fitness at Coburg too.

Thursty is listed there btw. I'm still getting use to his name being up the top at #2 too.

Jacko spent a fair bit of time on the bench in the NAB cup game so maybe he is carrying a niggle (?).

Not sure why Rainesy and Polak aren't there. I wouldn't have thought they would be rested. Unless they've picked up a niggle they could have been dropped based on their form or lack of it last Friday night. I know Plough was encouraging Polly to attack the footy and lead hard at training yesterday and congratulated Polly when he did.

like this side, gives us a glimpse of what is to come 

[WilliamPowell]

The balance of the squad will probably line up for Coburg in the Burgers intra-club praccy match on Saturday.

I am trying to get Chutney to cough up details of when and where

would like to see joel bowden come out of the backline, and have a fresh look that may resemble our backline in the future. i truely beleive thats where terry needs to go, play the young blokes in the key positions and have the older blokes play second fiddle roles. give the young blokes ownership.if it means richo has to play further up the ground to allow our younger blokes to progress, so be it.

[Mr Magic]

That backline looks half decent this week.
Hopefully they go well.

Totally agree T03. The above team is just how I think they'll line up. As much as I've been a broken record about wanting Joel to play up forward he's still training in his usual position as a defender.

deledio i think will be wasted as a permanent ff

his talents are too goo and must be utilesed all over in the mould of hird
