Coburg vs Northern Bullants - Sunday August 23

[one-eyed]

Liddle kicks Coburg's first of the second half

39 - 137

[Francois Jackson]

and some on this site still think McCrae has done wonders at our club.


put us out of our misery please and send this guy back to Brisbane please.

Yeah we might have called Rawlings an ordinary coach but the difference between a Rawlings coached Coburg and a McRae coached Coburg has been embarrassing for him.

the result and basically the performance of Coburg this year shows how much help this club really needs.

how Vickery did not play ahead of Simmo is an absolute disgrace.

Gee Mcrae really got Coburg firing today

Can't blame the old blokes.

Shocking effort by Coburg today....

A total lack on interest especially by some of the RFC blokes

Just a quick note on Vickery... after watching him today it was actually pretty clear why he was "relieved" of AFL duties. The kid looks absolutely spent.... just looked really tired. Ditto (to a lesser extent) Post

I thought Morgan was the best player for Coburg by a long way, followed by Silvestor who actually looked interested

[Coach]

WP, how did Schulz & Raines go? Schulz popped up in One Eyed's updates a fair bit - I'm guessing he had a crack? Didn't hear anything about Rainesy, though. ???

Raines didn't play

Only 12 (I think it was 12) RFC blokes played

Jay tried hard but it was a very very overall poor effort by Coburg and when he was forward he would lead and delevery was crap

then he was moved into defence he was better

There was a gale blowing to what I'd call the Bell St end which Preston had first use of and the kicked 7 goals to zip int he first qtr and that friends was the ball game

I thought the Coburg set up was woeful against the wind, it seemed they were hell bent on damage controll from the first bounce rather than even attempting to score themselves

Glad the season is over the be honest....

Gee Mcrae really got Coburg firing today 

He gave 'em quite a decent bake at 3/4 time. He said, "going by your body language today, you look like you're not there. Like you're already on holiday". I think that pretty much summed up Coburg ever since McCrae took over.

Could not agree more Daniel. Could not agree more.

If we're resting these younger guys cuase the AFL season is tough then why are they made to play VFL. If Tyronne was fit enough to play VFL then he shoudl have played AFL. Simmonds is finished, sorry Troy.

[Danog]

Maybe we're letting teams have 1 final look at Simmo before trade week.  I could see Geelong looking into him.

Yep since the older RFC players have gone back knowing their time it's killed team spirit. From 5-2 to 7-11  .

Silvester, Putt, JON, Schulz, Vickery, Hughes, Post, Browne, Gilligan and Cogs played for Coburg today. No one in the ressies for a change. Bullants had 14 Bluebaggers.

Here we go again! Why blame the coach?  Its the players who do it not the coach. Things have gone pear shaped ever since the so called older blokes went down. If it is McCrae's fault then Rawlings is obviously a lot better coach than we give him credit for!

My mate was drinking with Ryan O'Connor at the London after the Hawthorn game, and the Rhino basically blamed the Burgers demise on "all the old Richmond poo" that came back into the team.Makes you wonder if there's such a schism between the Coburg faction, and the Richmond faction if it isn't worth going it alone.
