The first time in ages Coburg is on the tellie and they idiots fixture the game on the same time as Richmond is playing .

A big game too with Coburg just a game (and %) behind Casey. A win would give the Burgers still a chance to finish in the top 4 with lowly Bendigo to follow in the last round whose firsts and ressies lost by a combined 360 points on the weekend  .

If it wasn't on the tellie it could have been moved to Sunday

They might as well as Richmond supporters can't watch it which cuts the potential audience for the ABC in half.

The AFL draw could've helped too. We'll go from Sunday arvo against Hawthorn to Saturday arvo vs Freo and then back to Sunday arvo for the Dees game.

Not a bad looking side on paper. Hopefully all 13 RFC guys get in.

Good to see Cartledge getting another run at AFL and Patto made to comeback via Coburg.

RE: Radio coverage of this game on Saturday.

As you will note by the double x website www.doublex.com.au we have had a disaster of a week. 

The 1611 AM transmitter was turned off for the final time last night at 6pm.

However the internet stream (as listed at the start of this thread) is still active. 

We will know later today if we are calling the final 2 rounds of the season for an internet only stream.

We are in talks with another station about doing VFL with them for the finals.

We won by a point.

89-88

Rance 28 possies

[TFL]

What about Dave Gourdis kicking 7 in the reserves!!!

Strong hands and very quick on the lead.

Good effort by the Coburg two's to go undefeated for the season, hopefully they can take out the flag!!

I prefered to stay home today and watched parts of coburg game then followed up by watching our game vs freo.

From what I saw, Alex Rance is ready for AFL footy. Clayton Collard must be persisted with- they must work him really hard over the summer, hes the goalsneak we need down the track, Meyer is going ok as well, Id keep Danny for 2009. They are the 3 that caught me eye from what I saw.

What about Dave Gourdis kicking 7 in the reserves!!!

I'm just stoked that they're playing him as a forward
They said he'd be a good full back cause of his closing speed, but I could see the exact same strength making him a great full forward. His inconsistent kicking would be such a worry either as a turnover won't have them lining up for goal.

Agree fully, but hes had a year of seeing what life is like in defence, I reckon hes had a good education in his first 12 months, besides Moore, Thursfield, McGuane and Rance will do it for us in defence, might as well let Gourdis develop as a forward.

Meyer - Cant believe he wasnt in the best, he was fantastic in defence.  Ready for senior football IMO.
Rance - Once he builds up his stamina he is going to be a star.
Graham - Should be in the ones before Cartledge.
Collard - the boy is going to be a gun, better version of Eddie Betts.
Polo- Gets caught too often with the pill but then will do something amazing to redeem himself
Cogs - Gutsy today, getting there had a heap of the pill. Strong in the packs.
JON - Quiet today
Hughes - Looked a little lazy but is going to be OK. 
Tiva - Not as dominant today but played well.
Howat - Delist, was OK but too one sided. Tiva and Hyde clone
Hyde - DNP
Collins - Looks likely but needs 10 Kgs

Well done to the Burgers to get up. Rance, Polo, Meyer were our better players I thought.

Rance is solid 
Polo isn't the best player in the world but has a big ticker.
Meyer has bit of class about him. Morton of the backline in 2009 

 lol @ JON playing in the forward line.

I would back Cogs after a pre-season of being in our best 22.

Collard has more talent in his left nut than 1/2 the blokes on the feild today. If he gets his act together he could be a class forward pocket. semi-black stevie johnson.

Great to hear Gourids kicked a bag also.

Tivendale is average.
