VFL Rd 7: Northern Blues vs Coburg

With Kieran Collins debuting this week I hope Cuningham shows something.

Yes, I agree, and especially given our current injury concerns Collins would have been a mighty option to have allowing us to throw White, Rowe or Weitering forward. Of course we do have C.Curnow and McKay sidelined, and they both look the goods long term.

You may have to wait a while.

Collins looks like a fit 40 year old, Cunningham looks 15.

I wouldn't be too worried about these kids getting long spells in the magoos (might not see him till next year) before getting called up. Happens at quite a few clubs.

Excuse my ignorance but who is Kieren Collins?

Bransgrove pulls the pin this weekend.

Thanks for 100 great games, injuries have left him with little to give but a massive heart and he'd happily offer whatever he has left, over and over again. If only some of the AFL list had his heart.

Highly rated U18 Fullback from the last draft, played with Jacob Weitering and many thought we should have selected him(including me)....think a young Brian Lake in terms of strength and marking ability.
Only Con was/is leg speed and maybe at 193cm he might lack a couple cm when playing on the taller Full Forwards..
Did ok in the NAB cup but has got his opportunity due to the injuries out at Doggie land.......

If everyone plays, we look a LOT better. But there is little chance of everyone playing.

On paper that's a pretty reasonable side... looking forward to seeing how we do. Anyone else heading to Preston tomorrow?

Well, our performance tonight does leave the door open for a few guys if they put up their hands tomorrow. Wood, Jaksch, Boekhorst and the like can see that there are spots of they can produce. Can they?

Reckon Wood has to play next week and you would have to think about Jaksch given Everitts lack of effort tonight...

[cimm1979]

We got to see Gorringe and a ruckman he is not.
