Looked at Coburgs list and apart from Corey Ellis ex Tigers/Suns it not exactly stacked high with
known names, must have been a very ordinary effort from our blokes to lose to such a no name Coburg lineup.
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....

There's no such thing as a "no name Coburg line up"!
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.
I think that our lack of KPP and ruck depth has had a knock on effect with the VFL side. With the exception of Parks and Kemp, the AFL-listed players running round in our VFL team are all on the small side. The bigger-bodied VFL-listed players are mostly “utility-sized” and are being played in key positions.
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.

He's not VFL / AFL fit.
