Had a look at Coburg yesterday on the ABC. I'm afraid I did not see anyone capable of being promoted to the Tigers any time soon. Joel did nothing, Polak was OK for a few marks and short kicks, and Couglan got a few touches, Hughes did little and Petts got injured, not that he was starring anyhow, Rance looked ordinary, and Thompson hardly set the world on fire. None of them filled me with any enthusiasm for getting a game at all with the Tiges in the foreseeable future, although I suppose Rance has to be developed yet.
If I am right, does this mean we now have to stick with the team we have right now?? Richo will probably come back soon, but probably after a run with Coburg. Who else is there??? Today will be a benchmark for some against the Dons today, but if a few don't play well, then who can come up from the magoos??
