No Cogs or Cass back yet. Rance, Putt and Gourdis must be going to play in the ressies. Interesting to see if Collard gets a guernsey in a FP with Morton playing for Richmond.
Tough luck on Coburg if Jack gets called up to Richmond too. They'll lose 13 goals in one hit.
-
There is a lot of Richmond players in that team!
Isn't there a limit on that?

They won't all play. You will notice that most of the interchange bench for the RFC is in that team. Those playing for Richmond will be replaced by Coburg boys who will come into that team from the bench.
-
Any idea's anyone on who's is the two's i.e Rance, Putt, Cogs..
I assume there in there.
-
I would say Rance, Putt and Gourdis will play for the Coburg ressies pmac. Cogs to have one more week off.

Yep. All 7 on the extended Richmond interchange bench is listed in that Coburg side so 4 will be playing for Richmond.
-
Hopefully Rance will force his way into the Coburg 1's shortly, I guess with only 3 or 4 out with injuries at the moment it's a bit harder to break through.

Cheers for that TFL. Shows the strength of the Coburg seniors when Gazzo is in the ressies. Let's hope for Cass' sake he finally has some luck injury wise and can work his way up the ranks quickly.

Jeeeesus! What happened here! What a great day for club :banghead

Yeah it was a very ordinary finish to the game today.
Coburg were on fire in the first half with both Jack and Clever kicking 4 goals each up until half time.
After the main break i am not sure if the players got to cocky but they also tired in the second half and were clearly beaten in the last qtr.
Most of the team were unaccountable and tried to do too many fancy things which resulted in turnovers. They also didnt work hard enough going the other way and the Bullants were allowed to many uncontested possesions which gave them plenty of run and drive.
To say the least, Jade Rawlings was not to impressed with the second half effort and there could be a couple of tough nights on the track this week.
Nat Caruso was an absoulte stand out all day and was probably best on ground.
Simon Wiggins from the Bullants is weak as pee and knocked out Nick Carnell with an elbow behind play. As some would know it didnt stop Carners for very long and he was back on his feet.
Lappin gave good drive off half back for the Bullants and he was very hard to control.
Polo was pretty good all day, Edwards was good in patches kicking a great goal in the second. Dan Conners was fair, McGuane was very good down back also along with Nat. Collins battled today. Jack and Cleve were fantastic in the first half buit hardly fired a shot in the second half. Silvestor was solid down back also. Hyde did a good job in the middle with a run with role.
It was very hard to watch the last qtr as the Bullants kept coming and coming and it was clearly evident that Coburg were going to struggle to kick a goal.
-
Can anyone tell us more about Edwards' game today?
Hasn't been in the best yet for Coburg and I'm worried that he isn't doing enough to force his way into the side....
We could've done with 3 goals from him today ala Dale Thomas!
-
0.3 to 7.5 in the last quarter. Ouch! Sounds like they thought they were premiership frontrunners backing up from the flogging they gave Geelong last week.
Dare I ask TFL but how did JON do?
-
Edwards game yesterday was solid without being a standout. Showed his great skill on several occasions.
JON didnt have much impact on the game yesterday, he rolled his ankle pretty badly early in the game and had an injection in it before half time. He was on and off the ground in the second half and didnt get a great chance to impact the game.
Give him a chance to get right and do well this weekend, he did a couple of nice things during the day.

JON please forget about him he will never play another Richmond senior game
whats the reason Coburg lost did they rest players in the last 1/4 that could be getting a call up, was it injuries, or just run out of legs
-
No resting Tigermonk, simply overran.
Rawlings blasted the team at 3/4 time for being lazy and refusing to work the other way when they had the footy. Players were trying to do fancy things instead of the team thing.
Once the Bullants got a sniff in the last qtr there was no stopping them. Many of the Coburg players tired very badly with cramp etc. Was probably a combination of getting ahead of themselves and a bit of fatigue.
-
was Conners a culprit of any fancy stuff
-
Not really. It was a combined effort from most of the team
-
seems like they got too cocky, thats a wake up call for them ;D the games not over till that final siren. l bet Rawling was impressed not

Coburg site Match Report Vs. Northern Bullants Round 2 2008
http://coburgtigers.com.au/
A mild breeze favoured Coburg’s end in the first term, and although the first half of the quarter was fairly even, the Burgers made the most of it late with four goals to give the Tigers a very handy 30 point lead at the first break.
It was the second week in a row the Burgers had got off to a flyer, kicking 8 majors in the opening quarter, as they did against the Cats last week.
Tristan Cartledge was again very dominant in the ruck giving his on ballers first use of the footy, while Jack Riewoldt and Cleve Hughes kicked accurately and made the most of their opportunities.
¼ Time: Coburg 8.2 (50) Northern Bullants 3.2 (20)
Luke McGuane was pivotal in the backline and beat his opponent well, and Jarrod Sylvester created a lot of run from full back, creating opportunities for the half forwards. Damien Rayson and Nick Carnell were fantastic in the middle, winning the majority of clearances. Nat Caruso was also prominent around the stoppages and his use of the ball was excellent.
Shane Edwards excited the crowd with his blistering pace, and kicked an excellent running goal the had the Burger supporters on their feet.
Cleve Hughes was close to best on ground in the first half marking everything that came his way and finishing with four first half goals that helped Coburg to a 38 point lead.
½ Time: Coburg 12.5 (77) Northern Bullants 6.3 (39)
Coburg just seemed to cruise through the third quarter. Kicking towards the scoring end the Burgers narrowly won the quarter, but their disposal efficiency was down compared to the first half.
Although it didn’t seem to matter! And the Coburg fans were probably thinking about next week and that this game was done and dusted. How wrong we were.
Paul Shelton and Dean Polo stood out for Coburg in the third, winning the contested ball when they needed to put their body on the line.
It took the Burgers until the 17 minute mark to convert their first major of the quarter through Andrew Collins, followed by another to Chris Stewart, before Nat Caruso kicked the Burgers third for the quarter just before the siren to give them a seemingly unbeatable 41 point lead.
¾ Time: Coburg 15.11 (101) Northern Bullants 9.6 (60)
The Burgers run really broke down throughout the backline and through the middle of the ground in the final term, and was the major reason the Bullants got back into the game. Northern kicked the only seven goals of the quarter, while in the dying minutes the Burgers went forward on a couple of occasions, but could only manage behinds.
It was a disappointing end for the Burgers after they had played so enthusiastically in the first half. However there were still a lot of positives to take out of the game.
Next week the Burgers are back at home at ABD Stadium against North Ballarat, and the boys will be extremely eager to get back into a winning streak.
