From the MCG website:

Gate opening time: 10.45am (Public and AFL members)
10.45am (MCC members)
*A curtain raiser between Geelong and Coburg will commence at 11.00am.
-
Which time is correct?
I would've thought a 11am start would mean the curtainraiser would finish too late for the seniors to have their pre-game warm-up on the round :-\.
-
this is great news a pre game Coburg (Richmond) vs Geelong
l be making sure l be there early :thumbsup it will remind me of the old days oh how l wish reserves would return for good :pray
this is great for football in general :clapping

Hey does that caller from Radio 3XX (or whatever it's called) still want questions from us to ask the coach?
-
Which time is correct?
I would've thought a 11am start would mean the curtainraiser would finish too late for the seniors to have their pre-game warm-up on the round :-\.
11am is correct
There will be 25 minute straight quarters,with 5 mins qtr time and 3 qtr time breaks and 15 minutes at half time.
Coburg has asked to extend the breaks and start a little earlier but i dont think it is going to happen.

We're still waiting to hear back from Jade Rawlings (VFL Coach). The Coburg GM says he's paseed on my email to Jade, but Jade has been busy of late.
So HOPEFULLY I'll hear some news today - If I do and he says yes, I'll start a new thread for it.
Peter. (1611 AM)

I guess Cogs going down :( means Collins comes back in to the Coburg seniors. Howat perhaps too for Schulz who'll probably keep his Richmond spot.
-
Just a couple asides:
Silvester and Cartledge are the two Burgers who have made the VFL state squad.

Cheers for that jezza.
Hopefully Cleve being named means he is okay although he didn't train yesterday.
Good to see Rance given another shot. Rawlings was pleased with him and basically everyone in his EOTT Coburg report.
Not sure why Schulz is named at CHF even though he can play forward when at Richmond he now plays in defence and he's played mainly in defence for Coburg too.
I'm guessing the bench will be Liddle Collins McErlain Polo.

Hi Everyone.
Unfortunately we have not heard back at all from Jade Rawlings :-[
So it looks like no "ask the coach" this week.
I'll speak to the head of the Sunday Team, (as they are doing Coburg v Bendigo next week) and see if I can get him to do ask the coach next week.
Sorry I couldn't pull thru with it guys - but I have heard nothing from him! (but I do understand he's a busy man).

Good to see Danny on a HBF. Would be nice if at least one of Meyer or Casserly came good.
Couple years ago Danny was looking rather good against the Cats with 20 touches.

He's been injury plagued, he may not be any good, but i'm glad he might get the chance to prove himself.

Danny Meyer has had a bad run, but I hope he is still on the list come 2009 and given one more chance. It hurts the club whn first round drat picks don't work out, and they should be given every chance.
Meyer looks like Alex Gilmour MK2.
But he has abit of class and is a loverly kick and lets hope he gets BOG this week and is playing Coburg next week.
-
- Raines (53 games, 22yoa)
- Jackson (40, 22)
- Polo (26, 21)
- White (23, 21)
- Meyer (17, 21)
- JON (7,20)
- Collard (1, 19)
- Casserly (0, 20)
- Collins (0, 19)
I wonder how many spots on the list their age for that group of players, long term.

Yep good news to see Danny is back playing again. I wouldn't say he's a Gilmour clone though. Gilmour had other issues that weren't long-term injury. Gilmour was also a Miller speculative pick.

Not sure if you could call it speculative MT. He had good football credentials and was our first pick at 21 in the 2003 draft. He just didn't have the head to deal with what was required (and incidentally, that's what I like about our recruiting policy since - we now place much more emphasis on attributes like attitude, intelligence, morals and level headedness than we did in the past).
-
I'm sure he fits right in at the Tassie Devils. :shh
-
Hi guys - quick heads up.
We MIGHT be doing a talk-back segment from 10.30am this morning from the MCG prior to the game on 1611 AM www.radio1611.com.au
This is the first time ever we're going to do it - so we hope the tech side of things work!
By the way - grey, dark and rain is coming down outside in the city at the moment.

JON injured still with arm
Silvest nice game & Petts
Good win
-
It looks like JON has broken a bone in his forearm. Wouldnt think it will keep him out too long, maybe 3-4 weeks and then play in an arm brace like Richo did years ago.
Great win by Coburg today, showed plenty of hardness and finished well on top.
-
How'd the Coburg 2's go?
-
Can anyone tell us if they saw any of the coburg game and what they thought of Collins, Rance and Conners.

I was there from the 1/4 time break along with a couple of hundred other brave souls. (God it was cold today)
Rance I think will make it but needs time.
Not sure if the other two will (make it)
'65
-
How'd the Coburg 2's go?
Playing tomorrow Wayne at Casey Fields. Game starts @ 12pm
-
Can anyone tell us if they saw any of the coburg game and what they thought of Collins, Rance and Conners.
Collins was very today, continually turned his opponents inside out and handled the wet conditions well. Needs to bulk up to make it at AFL in my opinion though.
Rance was very good today across half back, his composure and drive was fantastic.
Conners also played a good game today, came off a couple of times with hamstring tightness but was a good contributor.
-
I thought in the first quarter Connors tore it up and played very well...
How do you know he had hamstring tightness?
-
Rance and Collins were both named in the bests on the VFL site.

Surely Collard would have to be close to a call up the Burger Seniors. Can't leave him in the ressies
-
Poor patto to get a game this week had to wait till today :clapping
-
Bluey, JON has a suspected broken bone in his forearm. He won me over yesterday with his guts and courage. He new he had done something to his arm and was coming off the ground and pretty much ran into a contest. He laid a big tackle and he and the opposition player fell to the ground on his arm.
After half time he went back on the ground for a while and played well, late in the qtr he came off and that was his day.
As for today's game, Collard was on fire. Kicked 6.4 and had 31 touches playing off a wing and up forward also. This guy is a total freak, he could be anything. Sat on someones shoulders in the last qtr but couldnt bring down the mark. I honestly dont know if Clayton knows how good he could be.
Cam Howat bought his own footy today with 38 touches and 2 goals.
Danny Meyer got through the game well and got better as it went on, fingers crossed he may show something for Richmond before the years out.
Gourdis was once again solid down back and continues to develop, you need to see this guy when he gets the ball and takes off. He is super fast, i actually think he may be more suited to playing on a wing with his marking power and speed.
Patto was very good all around the ground today also and spending most of the game on the ground will benefit him.
For the Coburg boys, Rayson also had heaps with 38 touches, Corr got plenty of it and kicked 4 goals, Currie was very good up forward with 4 also. Glen Carrick ran all day again and was at the bottom of every pack.
Ben Clifton chipped in with another 3 goals and has been very impressive mainly playing as a small forward.
Only injury concern out of todays game was Doc Davis who rolled an ankle in the last qtr.
Any questions, fire away.

Great to have another member on the JON bandwagon. This bloke has talent, and I really hope his injury isn't too serious so other people can become more aware of his ability.

Amen to that. This kid could be something special. Really hope this kid gets his 'alleged' issues right because he could be a superstar
Gourdis was once again solid down back and continues to develop, you need to see this guy when he gets the ball and takes off. He is super fast, i actually think he may be more suited to playing on a wing with his marking power and speed.
To start off with, I was a bit against making him a key defender. But hearing about his performances down back are really encouraging. And we are gonna need someone to play on Buddy.
Just a side question TFL, did Chris Stewart play, like the look of this kid
-
Chris Stewart didnt play this week Bluey.
As for JON, i would think he would be out for too long. A couple of weeks and i would think he could play in a brace like Richo did years ago, thats in my Medical Opinion.......LOL
I think Gourdis will end up playing all over the place and be a very handy player, i dont think he has had to play too much of a defensive game during his junior days and it will really round off his game.
Also on Collard, some of the things that he does on the football field are Gary Ablett Snr like :thumbsup

I have high hopes for Dean Putt as well as a potential full forward. How was his game?

Conners also played a good game today, came off a couple of times with hamstring tightness but was a good contributor.
I only saw the last quarter and a half of the game live (listened to the first half on 3XX) and agree with all that TFL. Collins has such clean disposal even in the wet.
Cartledge and Coburg's smalls dominated the stoppages. Like in rugby they continually had the pack around the ball rolling forward in the wet. It gave Coburg the all important field position to attack deep inside 50.
It wasn't a day for tall forwards. Silvester spanked Lonergan. Took some courageous marks to thwart Geelong attacks and rebounded well. Conversely Cleve was well held hardly had a touch.
I thought Polo did okay to back up his game last week. He still needs to keep improving before he gets anywhere near earning promotion but earlier in the year he looked to have fallen off the radar.
From what I saw of Petts he was more unselfish and team disciplined that in past weeks.
Thought Schulz was good too at CHB.
I saw JON running the boundary by the bench with a bandage/beige cast on his forearm and him rubbing it. He was still on the ground when I arrived so he was playing with it broken :o.

How is Gourdis' kicking coming along?

He did ok yesterday MT, still misses some targets but he was pretty good yesterday.

maybe if he ever gets in the team he will become the next spanking boy

Have you got spanking on your mind X?
I'd say you would do a fair bit yourself. :wallywink

love to spank! im only human

love to spank! im only human
sad old man. you need to get some action.

Cheers TFL. I think in the long run due to his size (he's a big boy) and his kicking Gourdis will end up a forward as he was in his junior footy. Right now he is learning the defensive side of the game which even forwards need to learn these days.

Match Report Vs. Geelong Round 7 2008
By Glenn Robertson
coburgtigers.com.au
The Burgers faced up against Geelong on Saturday and had the privilege of playing on the MCG. Unfortunately the weather didn’t play its part as it rained on and off throughout the match. It was the first time this season playing wet weather footy, and similar to round one when the two sides took on each other the Burgers came out on top in flying colours.
The match was the curtain raiser for the Geelong-Richmond AFL match, and by the end of the game quite a largish crowd had gradually gathered. Had it not been for the miserable weather an extra couple of thousand would have been in earlier to see last years Grand Finalists slug it out.
As expected on such a cold, miserable day the scores were lower than average. And the first quarter provided only one goal apiece. Andrew Collins strives in the wet conditions and made the most of it on Saturday slotting through three creative majors for the match, the most of any player.
¼ Time: Coburg 1.4 (10) Geelong 1.4 (10)
Greg Tivendale didn’t lose any of his skill in the wet and continued on his great form for the year with another fine display through the middle. Tristan Cartledge helped give the Coburg midfield first use, but with such a slippery ball it was pretty scrappy out of the middle. Paul Shelton was as hard as ever and was often found picking himself up form the bottom of a soggy pack, his ball use was also better than most.
½ Time: Coburg 4.11 (35) Geelong 3.7 (25)
Jarrod Silvester’s last month of footy has been top class, and again this week he controlled what happened in the backline. Along with Andrew Horne, the two cut off many Geelong forward surges and followed it up by clearing the ball from the defensive fifty. Kayne Pettifer was also classy in the wet gathering many possessions through the Burgers half forward line, but with six shots on goal only 2 made it through the big sticks. Coburg kicked 3 majors and kept Geelong goalless in the third, although both teams struggled in the conditions kicked 13 behinds between them for the term.
¾ Time: Coburg 7.18 (60) Geelong 3.13 (31)
The Burgers 29 point lead at ¾ time was more like a 45 point margin in the wet conditions, and to put the result beyond doubt the Tigers added another 4 goals in the final term.
Coburg were the harder and more disciplined team on the day, and deserved the win. There were a lot of sore bodies after the game, but the Burgers third win from as many games softened the pain. This week Coburg return at home on Sunday at 2.00pm against the Bendigo Bombers.
Coburg Tigers 1.4 4.11 7.18 11.19 (85)
Geelong 1.4 3.7 3.13 6.15 (51)

Best Players: J. Silvester, A. Horne, G. Tivendale, P. Shelton, A. Rance, A. Collins
RESERVES
The reserves continued on their merry way adding win number 5 to a faultless season to date. The Burger reserves amassed an amazing 28 goals for the match to take away a 22 goal victory. Like usual the goals were shared around with Clayton Collard slotting 6 and Paul Currie and Cathal Corr adding another 8 between them.
Cam Howat and Glen Carrick were the best for the Burgers, whilst speedster Damien Rayson also collected plenty of the ball.
