Cogs thread [merged]

[one-eyed]

Suffered hammy soreness after training today. Club saying he's out for several weeks  .

[Mr Magic]

I am fearing the worst.
Cogs may well retire this year.
Cruel game.

poo happens, trade him for mundy

I would suggest Cogs doesn't have much trade value at all atm.
You have to question why he was signed for two years.

2008 & 9? If so the club will lose a lot of money out of this one. If he stays he is costing us more than if he goes dues to medical costs but if he stays he may come good...it is a cruel game isn't it. Even if he recovers, which is becoming more and more unlikely as time progresses, he may never get the fitness or speed to return.

I think Cogs will unfortunately become just another potential star that never kicked on after one or two glorious seasons.

Sad really

More bad luck for Tiger Coughlan

RICHMOND midfielder Mark Coughlan’s bid to return to AFL football has suffered yet another setback, with the Tigers star suffering a hamstring injury at training on Wednesday.

Coughlan, who played his first match in 99 weeks on Saturday after overcoming two knee reconstructions, was hoping to continue his comeback with another stint at VFL level for Coburg this week.

Tigers officials say he pulled up well from Coburg’s impressive win over Collingwood but is now set for another few weeks on the sidelines with his latest injury.

The Tigers released a statement on Wednesday afternoon, saying Coughlan “experienced soreness in his hamstring following today’s session at Punt Road Oval.”

It said: “The club expects Mark to miss several weeks. The club will continue to investigate all possible methods of rehabilitation to help Mark return to senior football.”

The setback comes as another blow for the courageous 26-year-old, who won the Jack Dyer medal in 2003 as the club’s best and fairest player.

Your original point:

"Coughlan is finished & RFC should  have traded him & not on our list this year, he is a wasted space & will never pull a Tiger jumper on again.  His injury prone & by the time he gets used of playing 4 quarter football again he will not be good enough to push out the younger players of which he once used to be. his given us no service since winning the JD medal & l class him as one of those one year players"

And mine:

"No-one on this forum has a functioning crystal ball that can tell us if Coughlan's injury will prevent him from becoming the player he was - FACT.
The truth of whether Coughlan is "gawn" or not will only be known in hindsight, probably not until near the end of this season at the earliest and quite possibly not until well into next season - REALITY."

What's changed?

And can you please list which broken players we kept that we could have got rid of?

Cogs is contracted until the end of 2009. You'd think this year is a write off now. 3rd time for his hammy so at least another 6-8 weeks off  .

l find that part in red very amusing l'm sure many others will also
you must be very young or deluded Tiger supporter  but Danny Meyer is one to start with, the rest you can do research on yourself l cant be bothered with you anymore, l throw in Dragacevic as another just to help you

strange that l said a few days ago,  he need another 8 weeks off just to get over his small part 10 possie VFL game 
seriously Coughlan needs to be put on the long term injury list & a rookie elevated & let him work with a personal trainer
l think a serious look into the way our clubs rehab staff are going about getting these players back from injury
