In his prime he was without a doubt my fav player, It's a shame what has happened to him
in the last few years.
in the last few years.
Cogs was our Brett Kirk, a spiritual leader, cut down by injury at his peak.
A quality and calm person who should be kept at the club in some capacity if he wanted to remain involved in football.

At the end of the day, Mark took his chance and did the best his body would allow. Many other kids dont get a chance or have theres struck out much earlier. He is one of very few tigers who can hold their heads high iver the past 20 years.
Well done Mark, all my memories of you are at your best carving it up :clap

My favourite player, I still have a signed match day jumper of his hanging up in the closet and a signed poster from his 2004 membership campaign kindly given to me by a friend at the club.
Thought there were enough to go before Mark plus his mature body being a player that thrived on contested football would be enough to keep him on the list for another preseason.
As much as it would be strange to see him run out in another teams colours, I hope a successful AFL club pick him up and give him the chance we didn't

I want to wish Mark all the best.
Like Free we never saw the best of Mark, glimses of what might have been. Brownlow ? Captain ?. I guess we will never know. Foot ball is just a cut throat business that decisions like this are always hard. Was one of my favourite players the way he went about his football and how he worked to get back after being cruelly cut down by the dreaded knee(s).
I hope people like Mark somehow remain at the club. People like him are far and few between and alot of players could learn a thing or two about "hard work".
Being delisted though could he still do a pre season with us and seeing how he goes , could he be re drafted or this is it?
In my eyes a champion person on and off the field. Credit to your family.

"Mark Coughlan coming back was a great buzz," he said. "He's a great player around the club and a great guy, which everyone loves.
"To see him come back was good and hopefully he goes on to bigger and better years now."

I think Mark maybe said he might have wanted to play on, so surely he can go on to bigger and better years somewhere else. I would have liked it to be with us !
Good onya Biggles.
I really enjoy reading this sort of stuff.
I really wanted him to have another season with us, I just hoped beyond logic that he might come back and perform near the level we knew he could. But it just wasn't to be.

Certainly one of my favourite Tigers.
During 02 and 03 was one of the few things to get excited about going to the footy each week.
Have a couple of his signed matchworn guernseys here, 1 from 2001 and also one of his heritage guernseys.
Seemed to be a genuine guy and will no doubt be missed at the club. Always welcome back I'm sure. Perhaps some kind of role with Coburg and development could be explored if he is not able to play on.

Cogs was a ripper but we all can't help but think what might have been. We were so cursed by injury during that period losing Cogs, Brown and Foley all before we should have,
I would put Cogs up there with Tony Free as the biggest lost talent due to injury we have had over the last 30 years.
At his peak he was a super player.
