Yep.

Willy now affiliated with the Bulldogs.

Cheers for that MT, really reckon RFC not just the Burgers are going to rue Andy Collins departure.

Inside Football said Andy Collins applied for the West Adelaide job. So he left Coburg.

5 goals down.

Playing ordinary.

Edwards going well but not too many others playing well.

[mightytiges]

Just for record. We've kicked 5 goals to Willy's 10.

anymore updates  ???

Coburg lost by abouut 3 goals. Sounds like a bit better second half.

Tigers for Life said Alex Rance will be captain of Richmond day.

thats ok its only a practice match

[TFL]

I missed most of the second half due to commitments but the boys fought back and probably lost by about 2-3 goals.

It was a fairly scrappy match but most of the RFC boys got a good run under their belts.

From what i seen Polo did well tagging Gia, Edwards was good across HF, Putt looks very promising, Cass was solid.

In the Coburg Seconds game Rance made his comeback from an ankle injury and was fantastic, his attitude and leadership (yes leadership from a 18 y/o) was brilliant.

This kid is a natural leader and also a gun footballer. Very attacking and very hard at it. He strives to make every post a winner and has that winning mentality that a Captain requires. This kid will be Captain of the RFC at some stage as long as he stays here.

Collard played for the 2's also and was impressive, worked hard around the ground and showed his superior skill level.

The 2's won by 7 points.

I will probably think of some more tomorrow, no injuries which was also pleasing.

Cheers for the report and updates TFL  .

I can't understand why the likes of Polo and Edwards aren't playing for Richmond unless they are carrying a niggle or in Edwards case still a niggle in his quad.

Any reason why Collard is playing in the VFL ressies? 

The word from training this week is Putt will play round 1 for Coburg seniors.

[Little Jackie]

Edwards should of been playing with the tigers

Any sign of young Rhett Jordan?

[TFL]

Rhett played in the 2's and was ok.

Agree with your comments MT and it is exactly what i was discussing on the phone last night to a fellow poster 

Edwards, Connors, Cass and Polo should be playing seniors.

In regards to Putt playing Round 1, it will depends on were Cartledge plays. If he comes back to ruck with Graham for Coburg Putt may play 2's or even as a tall forward in the ones.
