VFL FOOTBALL is back on the Coast, and AFL-listed players will descend on West Park on Saturday.
"We get to see an aligned VFL club, we will see guys running around on Saturday who have either played senior footy for Richmond this year, or who will," Burnie Dockers president Shane Walker said.
Richmond coach Terry Wallace yesterday questioned the role in the team of senior players Kayne Pettifer, Greg Tivendale and Joel Bowden, who all had a stint with Coburg earlier in the season and may find themselves playing at West Park this weekend.
Walker sees the Tasmanian Devils versus Coburg Tigers game as a coup for this end of the Coast, which has not seen this level of football for many years.
The last Devils game anywhere on the Coast was in 2005 at Devonport.
Walker said club officials went through the collection of names for the scoreboard to see if new ones needed to be ordered for Coburg and the Devils.
They found one for Tasmania, but also some for AFL sides like Richmond, Walker said.
It has been a long time since teams like Collingwood, St Kilda and Richmond played pre-season matches at West Park, so the club is planning a gala weekend of football.
Fans can meet the Coburg Tigers coach and former Coaster Jade Rawlings, along with Devils caretaker coach Lance Spaulding at a coterie luncheon on Friday.
On Saturday all the usual NTFL action is on, along with Auskick under 8s and the VFL match.
The football-loving public will have the chance to see a number of AFL-listed players in action for Coburg, along with home-town Devil Luke Shackleton.

Round 10: The Tasmania vs. Coburg Tigers match has been rescheduled from 1.00pm to 2.30pm. The game will remain on Saturday 14th June at West Park Oval, Burnie.

Late start. The players might need a miner's light and hot water bottle for the last quarter.

Is anyone going to the game from OER?

Coburg in force
The Mercury

June 12, 2008
THE Tasmanian Devils will face a Coburg Tigers side bolstered by the return of Richmond rising star Andrew Raines and possibly Tiger veterans Joel Bowden, Greg Tivendale and Kane Pettifer in their VFL clash at Burnie's West Park on Saturday.
Add to the mix Tasmanian Tiger Jack Riewoldt, and Coburg will bring an awesome force to Burnie.
Between them, Bowden, Tivendale and Pettifer would inject 513 AFL games' worth of experience into the Coburg side.
Raines and Riewoldt are two of the rising stars in the AFL.
"We won't know exactly who's coming down until after the final match committee meeting tomorrow night -- it's all still in discussion at the moment," said Coburg's Tasmanian coach Jade Rawlings, who is a member of Richmond's five-man match committee.
However, Rawlings did guarantee that Raines would play.
"It's an important step on his way back from injury," Rawlings said.
Raines, 22, dislocated his knee in March and has been sidelined ever since.
He played in Coburg's reserves side last week, and Rawlings said the 2006 AFL Rising Star runner-up would put himself to the test against the Devils.
"Any game you play on the way back from injury is an important step on the road to recovery," Rawlings said.
"Andrew has been very diligent in his rehabilitation and he's now ready to progress through VFL football.
"It's up to him now in how his body adjusts and his form in how long it takes to get back in the Richmond side."
Raines, a hard-running defender, will be given numerous roles against the Devils.
"He's a natural defender, but I'll offer him an opportunity to play further up the ground so he can get involved around the ball," Rawlings said.
"But down back is the predominant position he'll be playing."
Riewoldt kicked four goals for Coburg in its win over Werribee last Saturday.
That put him in line for a promotion to Richmond's side for the Tigers' clash with Melbourne at the Telstra Dome on Sunday.
"He'll be in the mix," Rawlings said.
Richmond senior players Bowden, Tivendale and Pettifer face the axe after the Tigers' second-half fade-out to Adelaide at the MCG last Saturday.

Any news on the Ins and outs as yet?
I would prefer to see Riewoldt line up for the tigers but I can see that playing back in Tassie would be a nice touch.
I have my fingers crossed (and toes for that matter!) that all three -Petts, Tiv and Bowden - are dropped to Coburg but I can't see it happening. I think Bowden will be playing for the Tigers for at least another few weeks.
Hope Coburg can have another glorious victory though I 'm not sure how I will keep up to date with the scores :(

No sign of Tivs or Pettifer.
I wonder if they played and did jack all?
If so, it would have to be the final nail in the coffin of their careers.

Pettifer kicked a goal.
I'm more interested in focusing on the young players that have done well. Must have Cleve in next week.

Any coincidence that certain senior players go back to Coburg and they lose, and when they are promoted to Richmond we are uncompetitive :whistle.

Good to hear Clever kicking goals. That's 10 in 2 weeks.
Going by the names in the bests the Coburg boys stood up but not many RFC guys.
I'm told Tassie kicked 5 goals in 10 minutes at one stage. A repeat of those loses earlier in the season.

should of left collard in would of made the difference for sure.

I believe the coach is very upset with the result and certain performances.

Looks like he missed out as he is a rookie. No Howat either? Cartledge and Silvester the only rookies that played.

Good news on my boy Cleve Hughes
l would have expected him to be tryed against Melbourne but anyway his done ok again & thats the main thing that he keeps kicking goals & progressing
Shame about the lose but at football down here today it was bloody freezing so Tasmania would have been real cold & wet so again thats good new Hughes got some goals
As for the Richmond players well l'm sure a few of them have already been told thier futures so they probably go lame now
-
rookies is just a word dosnt mean you cant play football just as good as anyone in the higher ranks???

I agree wilba. I'm just trying to think of a reason why Collard didn't play and that's the only one I could think of :-\ after he was named in the bests for Coburg last week

Nup in the thick of exam time so stayed home doing a 3500 word assignment due Monday (started Friday, great weekend. ;) :rollin) and just a had someone who did attend keep me and therefore the internet updated as best as possible, but I was close enough to the ground (different town but still on the coast) to know it was a good day.

Devils show plenty of fight
The Examiner
By Phil Edwards
15 June 2008
THE TASSIE Devils snatched a thrilling come-from-behind victory to beat the Richmond-aligned Coburg Tigers by six points in their VFL contest at West Park yesterday.
Despite trailing by six goals at half-time, Tasmania showed the passion and determination of old to fight its way back into the match with a five-goal to nil third- quarter to trail by just two points at the final break.
The Devils then rallied again as the fifth-placed Coburg built a 21-point lead in the final quarter - booting five unanswered goals from the 20-minute mark of the term to run out 15.11 (101) to 13.17 (95) winners.
Devils players and coaching staff embraced on the ground after the final siren and the club song was sung with raucous enthusiasm in the rooms to celebrate one of Tassie's best VFL victories.
Coach Lance Spaulding had asked his players to show character and fighting spirit to earn respect from North-West fans before the game and they responded magnificently with a gutsy, never- say-die effort.
"Something we've learnt in the past couple of weeks is they don't throw it in," Spaulding said.
"They may not play well all the time - and make a few mistakes here and there - but when the game's at its simplest and it comes just down to passion and emotion, they've got a bit of that.
"We need to win games but we need to win a little bit more - to show people what this footy team and club means around the State and that's part of our brand to be playing football that all of Tasmania wants to see.
"In a place like the Coast where they are hard and they judge you harshly but are fair - we needed to stand up and we did today," he said.
After Coburg dominated the first half to lead by six goals at the long break, Spaulding said he revved up his charges with a half-time speech about honesty, passion and commitment.
"I said a fair bit and it was no tactical speech but it was fairly loud and to the point and they responded," he said.
Coburg full-forward Cleve Hughes kicked six goals to be the best forward on the ground, including three in the last term, which helped the Tigers to what appeared to be a match-winning 23-point lead.
But the Devils refused to give in.
Two goals each to full-forward Justin Hardy, who kicked four for the game, and captain Brett Geappen in the final 10 minutes of the game levelled scores with minutes remaining.
Josh Vearing then sealed a memorable victory for Tasmania with the last goal of the game at the 30-minute mark.
Kane Richter was outstanding in defence for the Devils along with Brennan Savage, Rowan Andrews did a sterling job in the ruck against taller opponents, while Nathan Street, Ben Setchell, Vearing and Geappen were the Devils best.

Yep, he can do no more than keep putting his hand up by playing well and kicking goals. You would think he must be very, very close to a recall next week regardless of how we play today.
-
rookies can get bogs every week in the burgs but they are still ineligible for an afl game.
this is the only reason senior listed players with richmond will sometimes be favoured over a rookies when selections are made for coburg seniors.
its no reflection at all about who is the better/deserved player or the selection panel.
all rookies know this scenario so can we drop the "woah is me" hysterics about collard missing selection.
-
How did Meyer play?
I'm disappaointed with the result and the fact that Connors and Collins didn't step up to put pressure on the selectors. I had/have high hopes for Connors this year after playing with such fire and heart at the end of last year.
Great to see Hughes firing. The Tigers forwardline has been my biggest area of concern for the future of the club (particularly with Browny and Richo nearing the end) but with both Riewoldt and Hughes now starting to show a bit perhaps our scoring future is brighter than I anticipated.

Match Report Vs. Tasmania Round 10 2008
By Glenn Robertson
coburgtigers.com.au
Coburg made the trip all the way down to Tasmania this week to take on the Devils. It was a bit of a danger game for the Burgers as Tasmania had already caused some big upsets this year at home, and were confident of knocking off the Burgers who were aiming for their sixth successive win.
The Burgers got off to a fantastic start dominating the first half to lead by 36 points at half time, but an energetic Tassie side lifted in the second half and ran over the top of Coburg to win by a slender goal.
Coburg started the match well and in a low scoring first quarter the Burgers edged out the Devils kicking three goals to two, to hold a little eight point lead at the first change.
¼ Time: Coburg 3.4 (22) Tasmania 2.3 (15)
Cleve Hughes was again the Burgers key target up forward this week and he didn’t let his team mates down as he marked exceptionally well and finished the match with a season personal best of 6 goals. Cleve has now kicked 23 goals for the season and leads the goal kicking for Coburg; Jack Riewoldt is second with 15 goals from only three games. This helps outline how dangerous the Coburg forward line is, with different players chipping in and kicking goals each week, unlike other sides that rely on one key forward.
Tristan Cartledge was great in the ruck, and palmed the ball well to the Burger rovers; in particular to Paul Shelton who had a swag of clearances to his name. Coburg had a fantastic quarter kicking 6-5 to Tasmania’s 2-0. The Burgers lead by a very healthy 36 points at half time and looked to be in control of the game.
½ Time: Coburg 9.9 (63) Tasmania 4.3 (27)
Tasmania fought back exceptionally well in the third term as they kicked 5-7 for the quarter and kept the Burgers goalless. The only positive the Tiger players could take into the three quarter time huddle was that they were still in front, and if they played like they did in the first half they would come away with a win.
Shane Edwards played his best game for the season with his explosive pace exciting the few Coburg fans in the crowd, Andrew Horne was also great across half back winning a lot of contested footy.
¾ Time: Coburg 9.12 (66) Tasmania 9.10 (64)
Unfortunately for Coburg, Tasmania continued to play a great brand of football, and they ran over the top of the Burgers. In an entertaining last quarter Coburg added another four goals, but Tassie kicked ahead with six, and ended with a 6 point victory. It was the Burgers first loss in two months (when you take into account the bye and state footy week). Nick Liddle and Paul Shelton were fantastic around the packs, while Cleve Hughes was Coburg’s best with a fine display up forward.
Despite the loss Coburg still sit in sixth spot on the ladder with a very healthy percentage of 122.6% and are also one game clear of seventh position.
Next week the Burgers at back at home and take on the Casey Scorpions on Sunday starting at 2.00pm. The Reserves also play at ABD Group Stadium, starting at 11.10am.
Coburg Tigers 3.4 9.9 9.12 13.17 (95)
Tasmania 2.3 4.3 9.10 15.11 (101)
Goal Kickers: C. Hughes 6, D. Connors 2, K. Pettifer, N. Carnell, N. Liddle, A. Collins, R. Jordan
Best Players: C. Hughes, P. Shelton, N. Liddle, S. Edwards, A. Horne, T. Cartledge

Reading Rawlings report in EOTT, playing 3 underdone players (Raines, Cass & Meyer) looks like what hurt us in the second half although Rainesy was "in everything" in the last quarter.
Main stat getters:
Hughes - BOG - 13 marks, 6 goals.
Edwards - 20 possies, fought out last quarter.
Connors - 25 possies but patchy. Could have had 5 goals.
Petts - 26 possies. Started slowly but was terrific off hb. Up forward and back in 2nd half and did everything to try to get us across the line.
