Richmond’s deepening injury list at the tail-end of the season has severely impacted the Club’s VFL affiliate Coburg.

With the likes of David Astbury, Jake Batchelor, Reece Conca, Daniel Connors, Tom Derickx, David Gourdis (suspended), Dylan Grimes, Brad Helbig, Tom Hislop, Ben Jakobi, Luke McGuane, Kelvin Moore and Tiger captain Chris Newman all sidelined, Coburg had only eight Richmond-listed players to choose from last weekend.

Andrew Browne, Pat Contin, Ben Griffiths, Robbie Hicks, Dean MacDonald, Jamie O’Reilly, Nick Westhoff and Matthew White were members of the Coburg side that lost to bottom team Frankston by 67 points at Frankston Oval yesterday (Sunday, August 21).

Ben Nason was on standby at the MCG as Richmond’s emergency in the clash with Melbourne.
