[TFL]

Paul Shelton was tonight named captain for the upcoming season at Coburg.

Shelts leads by example and will make a fantastic skipper.

There is a little news in some article about some sort of injury to a nameless player starting with "O" on the AFL site.

Ottens injury scare for Cats

(Reams of irrelevant rubbish about some football team I am not interested in. See link to discover the disappointing news that Brad's injury is not serious.)

...

Richmond assistant coaches David King and Brian Royal were on hand to watch Luke McGuane, Daniel Connors and boom draftee Alex Rance.

McGuane starred at centre-half back while Connors knocked up possessions playing across half forward.

Richmond opens its season on Easter Thursday against Carlton at the MCG.

I don't know why I bothered posting this now. I spent 30 seconds of my life cutting and pasting it so I may as well click save. Apologies to anyone who feels their time has been wasted.

Cheers RROFO. Interesting to see if anyone who played yesterday will play round 1. McGuane both both reports has put his hand up.

Good choice 

[TFL]

I believe that Rance put in another good performance.

Will probably be underdone to play Round 1 but if he stays fit it will only be a matter of time before he plays Seniors

He is my choice to play the most games this year out of all the most recent draftees and I agree with those who are seriously talking him up - this guy will make it.

I made the comment last week that i think this guys will be Captain of the Richmond Football Club at some stage in his career. He is fantastic.

Last week against Williamstown this kid was playing in the 2nd's, it was his first game back since doing his ankle 3-4 weeks prior at Geelong. He was put in the Coburg 2's which is effectively our 3rds. Now this kid could have cracked it gone into his shell.

Before the game started he made sure EVERY single player knew who he was and and also most people involved at Coburg. His attitude from the first bounce was A Grade. He hit the ball hard and made 2nd and 3rd efforts every time he went near the ball. At the breaks his voice, knowledge and leadership far outweighed his age and i was blown away.

During the game Rance was tackled while kicking the ball and jarred his ankle. He was bought straight off as a precaution. The doc quickly checked his ankle and cleared him of any damage. After a couple of minutes he was running past the coach pretty much begging to get back on the ground.

This attitude, leadership and desire is what makes me think he will be not only a gun but also a Captain of our Football Club.

I hope that you all enjoy this information because as a die hard Richmond supporter it gave me great satisfaction to watch this kid go about his business.

Good stuff, TFL, very positive vibe for Rance.

Was Murray there to watch, and has he introduced himself to some of the Coburg crew ?

Thanks TFL.  Always happy to get an 'on the spot' or 'eye witness' account - I struggle with rumours or inferences.  I think you are right on the money with Rance - every single thing I have read or heard about him speaks quality and class.  Just one of the reasons that (as a grandparent I should be getting cranky and sceptical) I am confident of our direction and future.

[TFL]

I am more than happy to report this sort of stuff.

Now 1965, as for young Rhett Jordan he has shown some good signs but only joined Coburg midway through the pre-season.

Hopefully he will continue to get better throughout the season and he may well be a very handy player.

There are a couple of other players in Josh Jones and Chris Stewart who have come down late in the pre-season and showed some promising signs.

Add to that Doc Davis who looks to add some class also and there are many other young players i could add to this list.
