Good news for cogs

• RICHMOND midfielder Mark Coughlan will be considered for a VFL return this week after missing three weeks with hamstring soreness.

Coughlan played an intra-club game and the club's last practice game at Skilled Stadium in early March but has been sidelined since.
The Tigers are aware many players who return from anterior cruciate ligament surgery are hampered by hamstring soreness, with Coughlan coming off successive knee reconstructions.
The 25-year-old is expected to play a number of VFL games to work his way into form before pushing for senior selection.

Coughlan had hoped to push hard enough in the Geelong practice game to be considered for a Round 1 recall, but instead tweaked his hamstring.
"He was just a little bit sore after coming back from that surgery, but he is coming through and will be considered this week," Tigers football manager Paul Armstrong said.

"He has missed such an amount of football so we want to make sure he is OK. He played that last practice match and then just pulled up a little bit sore."

Good news for cogs. Hopefully can get match fit and will be back with us soon.

As much as we all want the 'old' cogs back...I am not very confident he will be able to ever get to a 'good' condition for any length of time, and stay injury free, especially at the pace it is played these days.

But if he can play bursts off the bench and be part of the 'extractor' rotation, with Lids, Tambo getting into the mid twenties and hitting their straps, it could be a feared centre set up like we haven't seen for a long long time! Gotta give the guy some dues for putting in the hard yards after 2 recos...
