No Cogs or Cass back yet. Rance, Putt and Gourdis must be going to play in the ressies. Interesting to see if Collard gets a guernsey in a FP with Morton playing for Richmond.

Tough luck on Coburg if Jack gets called up to Richmond too. They'll lose 13 goals in one hit.

There is a lot of Richmond players in that team!

Isn't there a limit on that?

They won't all play. You will notice that most of the interchange bench for the RFC is in that team. Those playing for Richmond will be replaced by Coburg boys who will come into that team from the bench.

Any idea's anyone on who's is the two's i.e Rance, Putt, Cogs..
I assume there in there. 

[mightytiges]

I would say Rance, Putt and Gourdis will play for the Coburg ressies pmac. Cogs to have one more week off.

Yep. All 7 on the extended Richmond interchange bench is listed in that Coburg side so 4 will be playing for Richmond.

Hopefully Rance will force his way into the Coburg 1's shortly, I guess with only 3 or 4 out with injuries at the moment it's a bit harder to break through.

Cheers for that TFL. Shows the strength of the Coburg seniors when Gazzo is in the ressies. Let's hope for Cass' sake he finally has some luck injury wise and can work his way up the ranks quickly.

Jeeeesus! What happened here! What a great day for club

[TFL]

Yeah it was a very ordinary finish to the game today.

Coburg were on fire in the first half with both Jack and Clever kicking 4 goals each up until half time.

After the main break i am not sure if the players got to cocky but they also tired in the second half and were clearly beaten in the last qtr.

Most of the team were unaccountable and tried to do too many fancy things which resulted in turnovers. They also didnt work hard enough going the other way and the Bullants were allowed to many uncontested possesions which gave them plenty of run and drive.

To say the least, Jade Rawlings was not to impressed with the second half effort and there could be a couple of tough nights on the track this week.

Nat Caruso was an absoulte stand out all day and was probably best on ground.

Simon Wiggins from the Bullants is weak as pee and knocked out Nick Carnell with an elbow behind play. As some would know it didnt stop Carners for very long and he was back on his feet.

Lappin gave good drive off half back for the Bullants and he was very hard to control.

Polo was pretty good all day, Edwards was good in patches kicking a great goal in the second. Dan Conners was fair, McGuane was very good down back also along with Nat. Collins battled today. Jack and Cleve were fantastic in the first half buit hardly fired a shot in the second half. Silvestor was solid down back also. Hyde did a good job in the middle with a run with role.

It was very hard to watch the last qtr as the Bullants kept coming and coming and it was clearly evident that Coburg were going to struggle to kick a goal.

[DallasCrane]

Can anyone tell us more about Edwards' game today?

Hasn't been in the best yet for Coburg and I'm worried that he isn't doing enough to force his way into the side....

We could've done with 3 goals from him today ala Dale Thomas!
