Have heard news about both of these guys and they have both been playing well for coburg. Let them tag a crawford or sumone and let them know how hard they play etc. It will only benefit the club. I wanna see tivendale out of half back.

Wrenny, Gilmour played his first game for Coburg last week and collected around 10 possies. FWIW Foley also played his first game.

Tuck had a good game last week but hadn't done much before that.

If Tuck does OK against Box Hill tomorrow then he will be a chance, but too early yet for Gilmour. You can't play the young blokes just for the sake of it. They have to at least show a bit at Coburg.

In order:
I reckon Rodan will definitely come back in.
Hilton will also be pushing.
Tuck will also be close.
Shulz, Pettifer and Fletcher could also figure.
Dragga and Moore could also be close if they were on the senior list but unfortunately we can't afford to elevate them. FWIW we haven't even got the money to replace Spud even if they wanted to.

What's more important is who gets dropped.

At the end of the day I just want to see whoever gets promoted given a chance to perform, not getting splinters all night.

I wish they would have the courage to make hard decisions and drop some of our so called higher profile players .

Many are way out of from and confidence and a few are even beyond that.


The message should be set that continual performances like the ones over the last few weeks will not be accepted and no matter who you are e.g. Bowden, ottens,fiora,etc .........you will be dropped if you cant meet the expectations required of you.

Mediocrity should not be rewarded, but nothing over the last season or so inspires me that the coaching panel will have the balls to make hard but fair decisions

.
for that reason , the caretaker role would come from one of the assistants , raffled between Crocker, Brittain, spargo, Hutchy

the team

Johnnos tagged out because the opposition don't care about Cog's...they know he's lame.

Sooo, if Cogs is playing bench and forward till he gets his groove back...i reckon get Zantuck (who's seen better days) into the middle where he might see some form return.

Because there's NOTHING to lose.
