Polly has a leg injury which is why he went off. An ankle or knee

Bowden played well again keeping his good form going for his new club 2010

Was worried during the first 3 quarters that this would be another embarrassing loss but good on the Burgers to kick away and win easily. Finals chances remain alive ... just.

Poor Polly. Just when he was on the cusp on playing AFL footy. Hopefully the injury isn't too serious and he can still make his AFL comeback dream come true before the season ends.

was at the Casey vs Ballarat game, spoke to Disco watching his son Tom  what a hack he sat mostly on the bench 
glad we delisted him

Hislops brother doing well in the Coburg seniors, eh?

[RollsRoyce]

I went to Coburg today. Just a few observations:
-Believe it or not JON played a blinder. Feeding temmates all day, running to support, 2nd and 3rd efforts, looked clean and composed. Even did a beautiful
blind turn and spin out of the pack.
-Even more unbelievably, Patto's skills were very clean today. He took some strong overhead marks, and even did a one-handed gather of a bouncing ball, spun, turned his opponent inside-out, and ran into an open goal and converted. P.S. I was not hallucinating.
-Simmonds was very useful, marked strongly across half-forward all day.
-Schulz started back, but was moved forward. Didn't really have much impact on the game.
-Despite the good reports on Raines, I thought he had a poor game. Continues to try and take on the whole team for some reason, and just runs himself into trouble. One stuff-up pass in the forward line that should have resulted in a certain goal for us was intercepted and run the length of the field for a Bendigo goal.
-Hislop's brother had a day out kicking 5 goals I believe, four of them in the last qtr.
-My mate had a very interesting conversation with Shane Tuck's mother. Apparently his demotion is down to Wayne Campbell, who doesn't rate him. She thinks Jade Rawlings is too much of a "yes" man to the committee, and would like to see Hardwick get the job, who she considers a straight shooter.

Cheers for the report RR 

In fairness to Jade, as caretaker he would be answerable to match committee in them wanting to have a look at everyone on the list. Craig Cameron was in the box last week next to him and they were hardly overjoyed after Jordie kicked the winning goal lol. As far as Cambo not rating Tucky I can understand that. Tucky wins a lot of footy but doesn't really hurt the opposition with it so the opposition never tag him. In McRae's EOTT report he said they were a lot happier with Tucky getting 26 possies but being more constructive with it rather than racking up a massive 40 so-so disposals.

How did you think Gilly and Putty went today?

[peggles]

temel from the calder cannons playing for coburg reserves on the TAC cup's bye week.  looks like he did well with 5 goals too.  big strapping forward.  we may look at him later in the draft i imagine.

Hi MT.
When Tucky was dropped, I assumed it was because he's neither quick, nor a damaging kick (40% efficiency rate the week he was demoted.) But apparently the gripe on him was for a lack of accountability,which surprised me.
His mum said that Frawley told him he didn't rate him either, which is no surprise. But she said at least he got a big tick off her for telling him to his face.The implication seemed to be that Campbo is a bit more duplicitous. Apparently he sent Tucky a text message on the week of his demotion wishing him luck.
She said Travis seems to be in a similar position at Hawthorn atm, because Clarko is currently favouring a lot of outside running players over "at the coalface" types.
Putt showed a bit.Took some good marks through the middle without setting the world on fire. Gilligan was getting to the fall of the ball, and didn't have any brain fades like the dying minute of last weeks game where he kicked straight to the unmarked Box Hill ruckman, instead of icing the clock.

Bomber fans mentioned Temel too on BB so we're not the only Club who has noticed him.

Cheers RR. I think Tucky's lack of accountability at times is more due to him not being overtly quick. Match him up on a quicker mid at stoppages or centre bounces and he can get left behind at times. Tucky's more a resilient workhorse like his dad rather than a gamebreaker. We could probably carry him off the bench if our midfield depth was 10-12 deep and he was used as a 2nd/3rd tier midfielder while an A-grader midfielder rested. However for us he plays as a first tierer and lacks the class to be leading a midfield. At almost 28 year olds (in december) he's unlikely to be around or at least near his peak when our current young list matures.

In fairness to the current coaches we've seen 5 years of Tucky playing AFL so we know what he can and can't do. Spud on the other hand just refused to play him at all as a younger 22 year old despite us being last on the ladder and getting flogged most weeks with older mids while Tucky was a standout at Coburg. The only reason Tucky survived was due to Wallace seeing him training in the gym when he arrived and Fleming was the last one flicked instead.

Have to say I agree with that report!
