re: LOB...yep, the body language the previous week wasnt good IMHO and I think he knows its over at senior level with us..
Think he might get a rookie spot somewhere....

Apart from my hometown loyalty, Coburg has a dozen or more players with VFL experience and three blokes from AFL lists.  They also have a lot more size than our little fellows.

Why do we always end up with small bodies?
We got knocked over by the Bullants too who are also terrible.. Would be struggling to beat some of the better suburban teams imo.

We have added another ruckman with a bit of size and potential, but he’s green as grass.

That’s another factor, with the exception of O’Brien, the AFL-listed players who ran around on Saturday only have a handful of AFL games between them.  On the other hand, most of Coburg’s list have several VFL seasons under their belts, have senior football bodies and are used to playing together.
