How could he do both ?

How could he do both ?

Its simple, but all depends once the VFL aka the AFL Eastern Seaboard Reserves competition fixture is once released, and who knows when that will happen. The AFL will only release the full fixture with dates times and venues for the first half of the year, if last years is anything to go by. And since post COVID, we've seen that many last minute fixture changes occur in the leadup to those rounds.

If Coburg play on the same day as Strathmore in that same particular weekend, he coaches. If they don't clash, then one day he plays for Strathmore, the other day that week/weekend he does his coaching role with Coburg.

Either way he will play enough games to qualify for finals should Strathmore make it(which I think they should). Not that it should matter on this forum, Coburg won't be playing finals in the AFL Reserves anyway.

Its not the first time Strathmore would have dealt with this, given Liam Cavanagh is the Senior Coach of Williamstown VFL Womens team too. While Matt Little was also the VFL GM at Essendon back in the day so those committments come first.

Hey gang, chasing a practice match for either March 16 or April 6, North Heidelberg footy club, had one booked for March 16 but they have pulled the pin. If anyone knows a club looking for one please send me a DM!

Any clash he plays for Strathmore.

Third time you've said that and you're incorrect. A coaching role at a semi professional level holds more merit than playing.

Have you spoken to him? Or just going on what you think occurs?

Yeah you said that last time, let’s see what happens

I reckon if it’s been reiterated three times you might want to check some facts.

Its called commonsense

 

[Flyingleslieskite]

Look forward to it

Cbf bro, too busy

Thanks for confirming you have no idea

 

[BlueJet]

How about we wait and see then?

A back & forth "he will", "nah he won't" is pretty ****ing stupid tbh.

 

[Flyingleslieskite]

Yeah no worries, thanks for acknowledging, I don't have any ideas. I'm just saying my opinion as to what I think will occur as its known to happen. Enjoy your night champ

I agree, I was just saying what I think will happen.

Obviously its a sore point for some what I've mentioned

Sure and I'd expect you'd usually be correct given how this tends to play out but there's also a chance that there's a different agreement in place here, I have no idea but we'll see in time.

 

[Flyingleslieskite]

Not a bad signing for Greenvale in Ex Bendigo Pioneer and Richmond NGA prospect Ray Murphy who has reportedly signed to play VFL with Werribee.

For what it’s worth I agree with your opinion as that’s how it usually plays out with all parties in agreement.

Thanks Turbo, you're a good man, I don't care what others say or think about ya! Good to see someone with commonsense on this forum.

on the verge of signing with an NFNL club but pipped at last minute.

 

[Flyingleslieskite]

Which one?

You got it right in your first 4 words of your last line there mate

here, I have no?
Would you like to try that again?
Weird drive-by mate.

Why would Coburg have Dumont as an assistant coach if he doesn't attend games? I'm not sure why they wouldn't want him in a playing assistant coaching role tbh, he's on field leadership would be far more value than been on the sidelines

Can’t imagine Coburg have assistants knocking the door down
