Just a reminder that Coburg is playing Box Hill in the now annual Anzac Day VFL clash:
Box Hill City Oval
Starting at 2pm
-
HUGE TRUenergy VFL ANZAC DAY SHOWDOWN
Rivals Box Hill Hawks and Coburg Tigers square off tomorrow in what shapes as an epic TRUenergy VFL Anzac Day encounter at Box Hill City Oval.
Captains Kristian Height and Travis Ronaldson will lead their charges into battle for the Anzac Day Cup in front of an expected crowd of more than 3,000 people.
Among the young guns expected to line-up for the Tigers are Jack Riewoldt, who has kicked seven goals from three rounds, Adam Pattison, Cam Howatt and Danny Meyer. Full back Zac Dawson, forward Beau Muston and Beau Dowler could turn out for the Hawks.
Coburg has been in impressive form. A come from behind victory over North Ballarat in round two was backed up with a big 61-point win over Werribee. After a shaky start, Box Hill is looking to notch its first win of the year and will lift in front of a vocal home crowd.
The big clash will kick off at 2.08pm and be preceded by the national anthem at 2pm to be sung by Gemma Purdy and a rendition of the Last Post and Reveille.
There will also be a jumping castle for the kids, entertainment and the presentation of the Gibbs-Lines Medal after the game.
Richmond star and former Box Hill player Troy Simmonds will be special guest at the president’s lunch.
At noon, Whitehorse Mayor Cr John Koutras and Box Hill Hawks President John Ure will open City Oval’s new entrance, which has been named “The Ron and Barbara Gibbs Entrance”. Ron and Barbara Gibbs combined committee service to the club equals 122 years.
Box Hill City Oval is located at the corner of Middleborough and Whitehorse roads, Box Hill.
Remember, entry is only $9 for adults and the kids are free. Experience the difference at the TRUenergy VFL…where the elite meet the community.

-
In: Polo (dropped), Moore (back from injury)
Polo gets dropped but it seems not one senior player pays for 4 straight losses ::).
JON is playing so if he's to play on Saturday now you'd think he'd only play some of tomorrow's game.
Good Coburg side though. Let's hope our lads can back up their strong efforts and continue to put pressure on Richmond spots.

As I said on another thread - re Polo sends a message doesn't it - not a good one from where i am sitting >:(
i doubt very much that JON and cleve will play
they have been listed as back pockets, no way they will play there.
they wont play today and both play on sat
i agree with wp
why punish polo for 1 bad quarter and a shocking hair do.
this just reaasures all our senior duds that they can get away with mediocrity
its either tery has lost the plot completely, or we are tanking! for picks
-
they wont play today and both play on sat
They well may play on Saturday x - at Box Hill in the Coburg Reserves. Burger reserves are playing Sat. Perhaps they are keeping a few kids out of this game in case they are needed for Sat because there is no way any player could play today and then front up again on Sat for Richmond
Polo gets dropped but it seems not one senior player pays for 4 straight losses ::).
Look I'll admit that I am a Polo fan but here's why I am bit ticked off with this decision.
We've played 4 games - Polo has been good in 2 (Blues & Swans), poor against the Pies and reasonable against the Dogs apart from Cooney's 3 goals in 5 minutes - 2 of which can after the game was OVER. Actually would argue strongly that up until the last qtr Polo had one that contest because Cooney had touched the ball 13 times.
Other more "senior" players and a few of the younger ones have been either poor or reasonable at best for all 4 games and are still there - tell me where is the logic ::) :P :help
-
Hey WP, must hair something to do with the hair.
I think he was lead astray by his hairdresser.
Anyway, if you going to have hair like that, you would want to be an absolute GUN
-
Im considering going down there today anyone else going down there ... by the way Im hoping Dowler does play well for Box Hill and if he plays well at CHB...thats a bonus...I understand he is also out of contract at the end of the year.

Courtesy of WP :cheers
Polo won the Anzac Day medal again
WP thought Moore was best for Coburg though at CHB
Riewoldt kicked 4-5 goals and was good again
Meyer excellent first half, tagged out of it in 3rd but came back strongly in the last
White very good across hb through the centre
Connors good again across hb. A mongrel lol
Patto got better as the game went along
Graham was no 1 ruck today and wasn't too bad. Still lacks confidence and peripheral vision.

I agree with most of what WP said.
For me, Moore was excellent - in command down back - plenty of good work from Polo and Howat, also.No evidence at all that Polo was peeved about his demotion - worked his backside off.
Agree with comments about Patto and White (plenty of run and took them on)
Meyer - started like a house on fire - nice finishing, including a great snap goal. The main thing is that he played with some intensity, and harassed opponents when they had the ball.
Riewoldt - very good - has a real presence about him, and a great deal of confidence - this will take him a long way.
I'll write a bit more soon.
-
Going off his current form when is he gonna get a AFL debut, soon hopefully :pray :pray :pray
-
Thanks GB. Just so many positive signs coming out of Coburg. Importantly many are backing up their efforts each week and now putting pressure on senior spots. Time to give cubs a run at AFL level and see what they can do.

A bit more:
Casserly didn't play, neither did Coburg's captain (Ronaldson)
Connors - had a good burst early on, showing a lot of flair and bravado - played in a cocky manner, but was a bit hit and miss. He'd do a couple of clever and stylish things, then totally stuff up the next opportunity. Anyway, he played with a great deal more confidence than the previous two times I've seen him. When down back, played a bit like Joel Bowden does. I'm more confident about him now, because his upside is impressive. He appears to have a touch of real class.Has a bit of dash as well.
Angus Graham - struggled, but tried hard.
I have to say that I was really impressed with a lot of the Coburg youngsters. Carnell is feisty and quick; Sylvester is sound and a great spoiler;Robertson was better than I anticipated - sound; Mullins had a few sublime moments;Caruso kicked some nice goals; Sewell got a lot of possessions and worked really hard.
Despite their youth, Coburg have a good structure and will be better than a lot of people expect.A very even effort from the team today.
Best for RFC: Moore, Polo and Howat...in my book.
-
Good to see Meyer, Riewoldt, Connors, White, Moore, Polo etc pushing for selection. Along with them you have JON, Hughes and Jackson joining Edwards and King in the seniors this week. Also if Collins, Casserly and Thursfield can overcome injury they appear to be capable to also push for selection. All of a sudden you have about 15 young players who, if they can all come along nice and quick, could immediately change the face of our starting 22. Fingers crossed that all our stars align and 80% of these kids become great players for us in the near future and we can see the back of Johnson, Krakouer, Pettifer, Tuck, PBowden, Tivendale, Gaspar, etc for starters.

All in favour of ditching Richmond and supporting Coburg for the rest of the season raise your hands lol :rollin
:gotigers (of the Coburg type)

Connors sounds very promising GB. I was surprised when Connors lasted to pick 58 so hopefully we've picked up a bargain and a good classy footballer.
Sadly for Cass he just take a trick at the moment with injury. Plays well then he has to start again.
Sewell got a lot of possessions and worked really hard.
Is he the brother of Hawthorn's Brad?
-
Guys first post but went to the Coburg game today. Really impressed with the structured manner in which they play out of the backline ... they appear well coached!! Just some comment on some of the players:
Polo - he was a cut above the others (keeps his feet)
Patto - he was much more effective playing forward (CHF??!!)
Jack - he is very good, a great judge of the ball in flight
Danny Connors - he is hard at it and has very good disposal
Kel Moore - I did not see him miss a disposal today, he has surprising pace for a mid size backman, BOG today
Matty White - genuine pace and broke the lines many times today, not far behind moore for BOG
Danny Meyer - finally showed something today, appeared to be limping slightly by end of game, great finisher
I stood near Jade Rawlings and Choco Royal - they took many notes when Danny and Jack were near the ball.
All in all I was really impressed with their performance.
-
Is he the brother of Hawthorn's Brad?
They both come fron Nth Ballarat Rebels/Newlyn, so they must be brothers or cousins. Similar work rate.
-
Welcome TigerRocket :clapping
I think GB has covered everything off nicely.
I think the problem Cam Howat has got and it's been spoken about is that he only has a left foot and no right when it comes to kicking and he is getting found out a bit which is the thing I reckon he really needs to work on/workout.
Everyone will be pleased to know the chess board on the back of Polo's head has been removed ;D
I reckon the improvement in Jarrod Sylvestor this season is outstanding and perhaps he would be worth considering as a mature age rookie. Has certainly bulked up across the shoulders and is super fit. Actually the entire Coburg team looks super fit - gee they really run and run and they are very quick. Because any team can run but it doesn't mean they have pace - Coburg certainly have pace :clapping

I didn't really mind it WP :thumbsup

Great first post TigerRocket :clapping. Welcome to OER :).
On SEN's VFL hour last night they said Polo ended up with 27 possessions and like you said TigerRocket he was a cut above. They love Jack and the way he plays. The only thing that was annoying was they kept going on about how young a side Box Hill are. Did someone there forget to look at Coburg's list ???.
I think the problem Cam Howat has got and it's been spoken about is that he only has a left foot and no right when it comes to kicking and he is getting found out a bit which is the thing I reckon he really needs to work on/workout.
The reason he remained a rookie IMO. You need to be dual sided now days.

Thanks GB. Yeah they must be related. Brad has been a find for Hawthorn.
-

I'll correct myself as a PM I got said Cass was seen on Ch 9 news training with Richmond. Great news if that's so. Hmmm could be a few changes this week.
-
But will polo be one of them, with a bog or close to it he obviously took his medicine well.
After a rocket up ya then perform like that maybe another chance this week, the conditions will suit and he hasn't been the worst (Apart from that hairdo) :lol

Good to see the youngsters are starting to shine :thumbsup :gotigers

I agree CUB that Polo has done his penance but 3 full games in 8 days is a tough ask recovery wise in modern footy. It would be odd if the RFC pulled out JON, Clever, Jacko and Cass and then played someone who played yesterday instead.

Tiger cubs learning fast
26 April 2007 Herald-Sun
Geoff Poulter
RICHMOND is going through hard times, but the Tigers' VFL affiliate Coburg continues to throw up selection options among its lively youngsters.
Yesterday it was Dean Polo's turn to impress in Coburg's 73-point win, 20.9 (129) to 7.14 (56), against the Box Hill Hawks at Box Hill City Oval in the first of the Round 4 fixtures.
Polo was prominent in defence and won the Gibbs-Lines Medal for best-on-ground.
Danny Meyer (four goals), Jack Riewoldt (three goals) and Matt White all look capable of coping with promotion to AFL level, while Kelvin Moore and Cameron Howat also stood out yesterday.
Polo played for the Tigers on Friday night against the Western Bulldogs and was dropped to try to gain some hard match conditioning.
"I think Deano just wanted a really good four-quarter game," Coburg coach Andrew Collins said.
"He's been on and off the bench and I think (Richmond coach) Terry (Wallace) just wanted to get some miles into his legs and he was very classy today."
Riewoldt, who resembles Mark Harvey and plays with Dermott Brereton-like flair, is gradually picking up the tempo. He doesn't turn 19 until October 31.
"He is going to be a terrific player for the Richmond Football Club in years to come," Collins said.
"He has got real class and flamboyance about him that every key forward needs."
Coburg has won three straight to charge to top place, perhaps temporarily with five Round 4 games left.
"We wouldn't have anticipated that with such a young group, but our young guys are coming along a lot quicker," Collins said.'
"And you know that article about Richmond youth and Hawthorn youth, well it was on display today, wasn't it?
"These are guys that Terry is looking at to step up and they are developing really nicely as footballers at the moment."
Coburg's defence was sound and the Tigers looked a well-drilled unit.
"We've recruited very well," Collins said, referring to the likes of Fortunato Caruso (Calder Cannons), Myles Sewell (North Ballarat), Logan Hill (Dandenong Stingrays) and Ryan Anderson (Northern Knights), who were all good contributors yesterday.
In contrast, there was not much to enthuse about Box Hill's performance. Beau Dowler can be a threat in the air and Zac Dawson was willing.
With a bye in the next round, Coburg doesn't play again for 18 days. "We might do some soccer and some rugby, have a lot of fun and support our reserves playing some good footy over the next couple of weeks," Collins said.
"It was always going to be a test of wills and I was really pleased with our performance."

Yep, on Ch 10 news definately saw Casserly, Hughes and Jackson training at Gosch's paddock yesterday with the main group. Didn't see JON but you'd think he's a definite starter.
Maybe they'll make a late call and whoever doesn't get picked will play for the Coburg reserves.
Casserly is definately not injured it seems.
Would love to see all 4 in at the expense of Polo, Krakouer, Johnson and Gaspar.

Craig McRae in EOTT said Cass went off with a sore groin against Werribee but he must be okay now.

I think you'll find Coburg has close the youngest list in the VFL (that is Coburg listed players). I mean their oldest player ahs just turned 24. Their Captain Trav Ronaldson isn't 24 until Sept so it's pretty obvious they are young :thumbsup
But certainly super impressive :thumbsup ;D

Kingsley will be playing for the Coburg ressies today.
Meanwhile, former Cat Kent Kingsley will make his return from an ankle injury for the Coburg reserves today at Box Hill.
"Kent will have a run around and it's been a long while coming," David King said.
http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,21633774%255E19742,00.html
Who else will be playing? .......... Clingan, Collins, JON ?

Thursfield, Casserly, Clingan and Kingsley played today.

Good to see Thursty on the comeback trail. Hopefully he can soon make it into the Coburg seniors and then onto Richmond in time for 2008. Around Polak, McGaune and Thursty we can build up a strong defence that will take us into the future. We still need to draft another KPP who can firm up our backline with Gas in his last year.

It will be good to see if Moore can get a run of games without injury to see if he could slot into the backline.

I like what I'm hearing out of Coburg from Andy Collins and McRae in EOTT :thumbsup.
Team summary
Coburg continues to play a terrific brand of football – attacking, strong running, hard at the ball and hard tackling, with a terrific contribution from all concerned.

Yep it is a great brand of footy to watch :clapping
We've been discussing while watching the Burgers how much the rule about if you kick backwards in your defensive half of the ground being play on has impacted on the type of footy being played.
This type of footy is very common in the VFL and more so this year since they introduced this rule
