Really need this one after the slip up in Tassie if we want top 4.  :pray

Casey is a game ahead in 2nd spot so a 8-point game this Sunday. A good win (40 pts) would see us sneak into the top 4. The main thing is the Burgers win after the stuff-up in Tassie. There won't be the 12/10 rule ths week so Collard should be playing.

Good to see Collard is back after 12/10 rules forced him out last week.  :clapping

Post by: mightytiges on June 19, 2008, 08:19:34 PM
Yep great to see Collard back in the side. Meyer, Cass and Rainesy will be better for the run last week. Cam is a good VFL player so he'll strengthen the Burgers midfield coming back into the side after the 12/10 rule. Sarge will need to have a strong performance up forward for his and Coburg's sake.

Geez, got a tough week to go up against Casey with The Aints looking to make a statement.

Would like to see the Burgers return the favour with an emphatic performance, however the forward line looks a lot less mobile without the Cleaver & Jack presenting.

Would hope that the midfield (yes that includes you Kayne Pettifer) work hard for both the offensive & defensive aspects to reduce Casey's scoring ability.

Graham at Full Forward  :o is a tad top heavy.

Would like to hear of a comitted 4 quarter effort and some tactical nous from the box, and will be very interested in Coburg observer's views.

That's not always the way that things work MT, Josh Riddle isnt playing this week due to injury so Gourdis will be playing FB i would imagine. Dulic will most likely go back also in the absence of Will Smith (Inj) and Keogh (Seniors)

Injuries have really started to hit Coburg and the depth is being tested. Abdallah will play his first game this week.

Also good to see Paul Currie playing his first senior game of the season this week also.

The 3rd quarter went for 40 minutes  :o

The actual 3/4 time square is

Coburg   2.3   4.5    10.12-72
Casey     5.3  12.7   16.10-106

So 34 points down.

WP said Silvester, Jay and Tivs are the best for the Burgers and not much after that.

Collo got a fair bit of the ball in the quarter and a half WP saw of the ressies so he did okay. Hard to look bad in a team that wins by 20 goals.

I can't figure out what is wrong with Coburg, no passion ?

Maybe with the 50/50 it just aint working and we should go alone and that would be fine by me as long as we dont play at Craigeburn 1/2 the games would have to be punt road.....

The list is better than that, how did dalsanto and river rat go ?

With Jack, Cleve and Morton in the seniors, the Coburg forward line is signficantly weaker.  Jack averages 5, Morton 3 and Cleve around 3 too.

The Scorpions also had Dal Santo and Milne playing. Milne kicked 4.

The boys were very pumped today before the game, just werent good enough.

Casey outplayed Coburg pretty much all day, even with basically only two on the bench all day.

Milne played fairly well and Dal Santo had a very tough day at the office with Carnell tagging him all day. He would have been happy once the game was over.

It costs at least 500k to run an independent VFL side IIRC. That kind of money is another major sponsor's worth. I'd rather that kind of money be put into recruiting and facilities where is needed more.

The Richmond forward line yesterday was effectively the Coburg one 12 months ago so that's drained Coburg's stocks. No Polo, Jacko, White or JON either.

Could some who went give a quick run down on how each RFC player did? Especially Meyer, Cass, Rainesy and Edwards.

Title: Nick Carnell bags Dal Santo's game
Post by: one-eyed on June 23, 2008, 03:17:41 PM
Nick Carnell has publicly taken exception to media reports Dal Santo played very well yesterday. He said he heard Dal Santo only had 12 possessions; not the 19 reported. He questioned how the numbers could be so different. He also thought he did a fairly good job of tagging Dal Santo despite Fiora, Birss and Fisher  constantly blocking him. Even said Jay told him he did a good job. He spoke to Brady Rawlings before the game to get some tagging tips.

SEN claimed Carnell went public because he wants to be picked up by an AFL club.

I don't blame him. If he does have AFL ambitions then playing against Dal Santo would be a huge opportunity to show what he could do. If he did a good job but then the stupid media misreported it, for whatever reason, that would be very disappointing and very unfair.

Good on him for standing up for himself.

Is Carnell worth a rookie spot?
Title: Re: Coburg vs Casey
Post by: TFL on June 23, 2008, 07:31:53 PM
Carnell well and truly had the better of Dal Santo. He gave him basically nothing all day and when Dal Santo did get the ball most times it was under pressure and he added little value to the teams performance yesterday.

Carners is a real terrior and always sets himself for the task at hand. Everytime he ran back onto the ground with Dal he would constantly bump into him and kept letting Dal know that he wasnt going to let up.

Dal Santo would have been very happy once the final siren went.

VFL clubs are well known for including AFL listed players in their best when they are far from it, sometimes you only read what they want you to read. Be no surprise to see Dal Santo straight back into the team next week.

As for a rookie spot, i think Nick would be close to warranting a pre-season. He works extremely hard and is very dedicated. He also works the other way and gets his own ball at times.

Gave big Rix a nice bump in the middle of the ground yesterday and he was very groggy!!!

Some stats from the Herald-Sun

Richmond-listed forward Jay Schulz was the main focal point in attack for the Tigers with five majors, while Kayne Pettifer kicked two from 19 touches.

Andrew Raines and Greg Tivendale played in the midfield and had 50 disposals between them.

"They ran much harder than us and they won every contested ball or 50-50 and they capitalised on our errors," Coburg coach Jade Rawlings said.

Rawlings said he was pleased with Carnell's job on Dal Santo.

"We put a lot of time into Nick Dal Santo and we were really happy with his game," Rawlings said.

"Carnell is showing every week that he can play on the good players."

Rawlings also rebutted talk a line had been drawn through the names of veterans Tivendale and Pettifer at Richmond.

"I'm on the match committee and I know we haven't put a line through any player," Rawlings said.

"I'm sure they will fight back."

Title: Coburg vs Casey match report (Coburg site)
Post by: one-eyed on June 24, 2008, 02:37:26 PM
Match Report Vs. Casey Scorpions
coburgtigers.com.au

Coburg faced up against the Casey Scorpions this week at ABD Group Stadium. Although the Burgers were the home side Casey were moderate favourites heading into the match as they sat second on the ladder with only three losses. A large crowd attended, as it was well reported in the media that St Kilda guns Nick Dal Santo and Steven Milne were playing for Casey.

As it turned out the Scorpions were a much classier outfit on the day, running away with a fifty-three point victory.

Coburg were competitive in the first term, but Casey got on top late in the quarter and converted that onto the scoreboard creating a handy three goal buffer at the first change. Angus Graham started well and played a solid game in the ruck and around the ground, while James Keogh saw a lot of the ball in only his third game for the senior side.

¼ Time: Coburg 2.3 (15)   Casey 5.3 (33)

With Cleve Hughes elevated into the Richmond side, (Coburg’s chief goal kicker for the past month), the Burgers had to change their forward line set up. Cleve Hughes actually played a fantastic game for Richmond booting 6 goals in their tight win over Port Adelaide.

After playing the majority of the season with Coburg in the back half, Jay Schultz moved up forward again, and with great success. The big man was strong in the air and finished the game with five majors, and was one of the Burgers best players.

However the second term was one of Coburg’s worst for the year. They only managed to score two goals, whilst the Scorpions helped themselves to another seven majors and a very healthy fifty point lead at the main break.

½ Time: Coburg 4.5 (29)   Casey 12.7 (79)

Although the Coburg side were faced with a hefty margin running out at half time, the boys fought back well in the third term kicking six goals. They could have closed the gap even more at three quarter time had it not been for inaccurate kicking. Jarrod Silvester got on top of his opponent and cleared the ball well out of the backline.

Glen Carrick, playing in only his fourth game for the season, was fantastic for the Burgers. The little fella was often found at the bottom of a pack and was Coburg’s best player on the day. He was well supported by Nick Carnell who was his usual classy self, with a stack of clearances and tackles.

¾ Time: Coburg 10.12 (72)   Casey 16.10 (106)

There was still a little sniff of a victory in the final term for the Burgers, but the Scorpions were quick to put an end to that as they finished the final term strongly with seven goals. Jay Schultz kicked 5 majors for the match, while Kayne Pettifer and Cam Howat added a couple of goals each as well.

One major positive to take out of the game was Coburg matched it with the Scorpions in the second half, only losing it by three points.

The Burgers still sit in sixth spot on the ladder with a very healthy percentage of 114% and face Frankston at Frankston Oval this Sunday beginning at 2pm; the reserves start at 11.10am.

Coburg Tigers     2.3  4.5 10.12 14.14 (98)
Casey Scorpions 5.3 12.7 16.10 23.13 (151)

Goal Kickers: J. Schulz 5, K. Pettifer 2, C. Howat 2, G. Tivendale, N. Carnell, A. Horne, D. Connors, C. Collard

Best Players: G. Carrick, N. Carnell, J. Schulz, A. Graham, J. Silvester, J. Keogh



RESERVES

The reserves continued on with their excellent season with a very comfortable 126 point win over Casey.

After another very inaccurate first quarter the Coburg boys really straightened up in the second term booting eight straight goals without a miss. The result was clearly beyond doubt after half time and the Burgers went on to record another hundred point thumping, this time winning by 126 points.

Jake De Sousa and Joe Gazzo kicked ten goals between them, while Fort Caruso was best on ground also contributing four goals.

Coburg Tigers     5.9 13.9 19.15 25.17 (167)
Casey Scorpions 0.0   2.2   4.2    6.5 (41)

Goal Kickers: J. De Sousa 5, J. Gazzo 5, F. Caruso 4, C. Corr 3, D. Putt 2, R. Jordon 2, S. Foster, D. Rayson, T. Abdallah, J. Jones

Best Players: F. Caruso, C. Corr, T. Simpson, A. Collins, J. De Sousa, J. Gazzo

That is a ridiculous reserves side with Collins, Gazzo and Fort all playing ressies.

Agree TA and it's not as if Coburg seniors are winning and keeping them out either. Collins shouldn't be playing VFL ressies.

Who's spot are they going to take?

Its hard when many of these players play the same position, you can only have so many of the same type in the team.

Joey Gazzo was playing his first game back from injury also.

Collins is still very much 50/50 in regards to if he will make it or not IMO.

But TFL, Collins had been in the Coburg side for most of the year. He was also showing some promising signs playing consecutive weeks in the Coburg seniors until they made him an emergency for Richmond where he ended up not playing at all. Then IIRC Coburg had a bye the following week and they brought him back via the VFL ressies and then to the VFL seniors. Collo might have had a poor game against Tassie but the selection process with him over the last month hasn't helped his confidence IMO.

As for who he comes in for - I would've thought a 19 year old on our senior list would get preference over a 23 y.o. 'rookie' in his 3rd year who hasn't progressed from VFL level and more than likely will be cut this year.

Some stats from Rawlings in EOTT:

Connors -  24 disposals, 11 marks, 3 tackles
Howat - 27 disposals, 2 goals
Petts - 19 disposals, 2 goals. Committed his body
Graham - best game for the year.
Schulz - Coburg's best player with 5.2.
Tivs - solid.
The rest were average and/or had minimal impact.
