Re: Round 13 Footscray v Coburg

Big Tom Boyd must surely have a role to play in our AFL season yet. I can't wait for him to get some time in the ones, now is not too soon. Roarke Smith congrats on your return. Zaine just make sure the cynicism that comes with high intelligence doesn't barb too much on your teammates, not that I know you're sharply cynical, just know you're intelligent and I celebrate it and can't wait for you to crack the firsts. Honeychurch maintain the intensity. Sheepstations are up for grabs.

Re: Round 13 Footscray v Coburg

Agree with this. Our disposal I.e. Ability to hit a target and fumbling in packs was pretty poor most of the day. Lots of kicking sideways. Coburg played well, played direct footy and kicked way too many easy goals and also took way too many easy marks. They looked more like an AFL affiliated side and ran out the game better.

Thought Boyd was good and Koby too although I do think he does a lot of blind kicks to no-one. Honeychurch tried hard. Hamling took some good marks and really loved Collins play in second quarter. He never gives up and just when you think he will not stick a tackle he does. Campbell did not overpower the other ruckmen and was outplayed around ground I thought e.g. outmarked, without being bad if that makes sense. Roarke took a great mark in first half and have a feeling they limited his game time. Reminds me of a young Wood.

Boyd goal kicking reliable with limited opportunity up forward and rucked ok. Great grab in second quarter - hope someone took footage. Surely ban is lifted soon so he can play with Big Red. His team mates flocked around him when he kicked goals. He and Honey look good in forward line sometimes - a bit of chemistry there, clearly close.

I was about to write up my synopsis of the game, but Josie's report is how I seen it as well. I particularly agree with the Koby comments and that Coburg were just a better side on the day (we did win the third quarter however). Also strongly agree with Collins playing well (best game yet in my view this year). I don't think TC will see senior action after his efforts today either.
