Great to hear Cotchin is playing.
I also don't think it will be bad for Raines to come back through the Burgers after he gets over his knee to get some practice at winning a lot of midfield ball. Like Foley he should have to force his way into the side through outstanding performances in the reserves. The "good" thing about an injury is that there is no stigma about getting a run at Coburg when you are coming back from it and with a bit of luck he'll survive a few bouts of leather poisoning. Here's hoping anyway.

"Football fitness, I would say (it will take) half-a-dozen weeks. If a normal player will have one practice game prior to the NAB Cup and four or five games through the NAB Cup competition, he hasn't done the pre-season at all and it would be unfair to think he would be any more than six weeks. He probably thinks he is two (weeks away).''
So based on what TW said today I would'nt expect to see Trent running around for RFC until round 10 at the earliest.
And general thought is he will play half a game for Coburg 2nds and not the seniors (people need to remember Coburg are also trying to win games and cannot affort to have a guy sitting on the pine for half a game).

good to see cogs ready to play some footy at last. geez i hope he comes back as good as ever and stays injury free. the pragmatist in me says otherwise though.
good to see gus close as well i know i shouldnt but i have high hopes for this lad.
connors edwards cogs and cotchin sounds good anyway. cotchin wont play fro richmond for awhile though. lets get him match fit and mid yr give him as many games as he can handle.

Nice positive post there claw, I like it
Hopefully Connors gets up to speed soon, looked terribly unfit on the ABC game the other week. Was still decent though.

C'mon, you know you want to..

And this is what Terry should be perservering with. Or something close to it. Instead he plays zero kids from the past 3 drafts.
My team as soon as fitness allows would be -
B. King..........Thursfield......Rance
HB. Moore.......Schulz..........Casserly
C. Cotchin.....Cogs............Newman
HF. Morton......Pattison......Connors
FF. Brown........Hughes.....Riewoldt
R. Simmonds....Deledio......Foley
Int. Graham....Tambling.....Edwards....Bowden
Good mix of class, experience and youth. Only 3 players with limited long term futures in Bowden, Brown and Simmonds. Also no hacks.
More importantly 7 players from the past 3 drafts will ensure enough new blood and new talent is introduced and developed and will give the fans a sense of optimism even when we lose, instead of seeing the same old mistakes being performed by the same old players.
A team line-up like this would definately see Terry's contract reach the end of the 5th year.

Can we set up a Protest walk or something.
Surely we have a few Builders Unionists amongst us.
That looks a very good round 1 team next year and would go alright later this year as well. Would hate to be telling Richo he's not in the team !Harry said:
So what do we do with Raines,Petts and Tucky? Keep them for depth at Coburg, or trade them for better picks later in the year?
Miller said Cotch is playing ‘Burg ones this week.
