Key forward Adam Pattison, having had ankle surgery last month, resumes today in a VFL practice match. Also playing today in the trial game will be Dean Polo, Alex Rance, Mark Coughlan, Andrew Collins and Angus Graham. All will be vying for senior selection against Geelong in the second round.

good to see cogs back, cant get games into him quick enough

[Hellenic Tiger]

I almost feel and this goes back to when Gieschen was coaching.

Our ressies have a good crop of youngsters in their side. Some of whom press for senior selection for weeks on end. Then their opp comes and they only play 10-15 for their senior call up with little impact and back in the ressies they go.

I remember Cogs was getting 30-35 per game just about touches circa 2000/01 before he even got a minimal chance.

Other clubs bite the bullet put faith in the kids and look at Robinson Garlett and the other two boys who excelled for the Blues.

Its like why did we recruit hard nuts like Hislop Thompson and waste two very good draft picks if we are going to watch them wallow in the ressies as well as Polo when we have soft jellies like Edwards Brown McMahon getting picked every week.

We put no faith in the players we should invest something into and persist continually with players that fail time and time again.

I can remember a dreamtime game a few years ago where we put the faith in a young kid who was BOG that night yet he can't break into the 22 as the Richmond 22 as it seems to be an exclusive gentlemans club that no matter what when we have a full list to pick from regardless of form and the opponent certain players will always be chosen ahead of others. Something is fishy and rotten at Punt Rd we all know it and the smell is starting to asphyxiate all of us.

Reserves results are academic unfortunantely for us as Terry will pick Edwards and McMahon and every other small bodied jelly legged can push you off the ball with one finger player as he has done in the past and he will do in the future. If Terry knows he is going down he is too much of an egotist to change and give someone the opportunity to tell him that they were right he will instruct the Coburg coach on his methods and go down his way at Richmond also.

It was about 3 goals each at quarter time but I'll get a more up to date score.

No scoreboard but the Bullants won by about 4 point WP reckons.

Coburg: 2.3  7.3 10.4 11.6 72
Bullants: 3.2 4.6 7.8 11.14 80

Goals: Nahas 4, Hislop 2, Polo, Polak, Graham, Number 3, ???

Best: Nahas, Rance, King, Polo

A big ask I know but was no 64 for Coburg (Rhett Jordon) playing and how did he go?

He may have played Ressies but I don't think I saw him in the seniors. Most of the Coburg boys I knew like Keogh, Caruso, Horne, etc or were wearing low numbers

 also went today and mark my words Alex Rance was sensational in the first half , got beaten in the air a couple of times in the last quarter and true did miss a couple of targets but will debut next week if there is justice in this world
Nahas was also very good as was hislop who laid a tackle today that I thought might have killed the bloke he hit him that hard ,it also impressed TW and DK who were sitting close by
Cogs was also very good but was rested for the last quarter as was patto
Jake tried hard but is a way off , post did some nice things as did collo but he also missed a couple of targets 2 I recall in the last 1/4
Goose did OK in the ruck and a couple of good efforts around the ground but I think this is his level
the big plus for me was Polo , he was great ,good run and carry hit targets both feet , spun and baulked his way out of trouble
Thompson didnt play ,is he injured?
