Actually every player named on the first's bench are named in the Coburg 2nds ::)
As for MacDonald - perhaps the fact he was injured pre-season and didn't play much footy and is a young bodied kid (1st season) they've decided to ease him back into playing at a lower level before moving him through to the 1sts :-\

Thank-you for clarifying that William

Geez the Coburg side looks pretty good on paper (No paper tigers pun thx) ;D
Bullants have started OK and did play in the GF - R we seriously any chance?
I am in VFL tips and last week that loss against Sandy didn't say much for their character, can we turn it around?
And remembering last year we were close a fair few times if we can get that winning feeling could be a good team ???
Who do I pick, atm the moment it stands Bullants ..... Home ground advantage :help

Last year some mob were doing radio broadcasts can anyone tell us if theres any radio coverage this year.

See the Coburg thread 10F. There's about 3-4 radio stations that cover the VFL. We've got the VFL's own online radio broadcast doing Coburg's game tomorrow.
I'll merge the two threads if that's okay.
Here's the radio link for tomorrow...

Jordan Bannister ex Blue is umpiring, will give his old team mates a fair go??

According to the commentators....
Browne has been the dominant ruckman and taken a couple of good marks in defence (made one turnover at the end).
Dea has got a couple of fists in and marks on the line to save a goal or two.
Power would be the top possession getter.
Kahlefelt started well but drifted out.
Postie has had plenty of chances but missed them.
We're breaking down from the kick off HB. Bullants getting numbers behind the ball and Goo and the other Coburg defender kicking the ball OOTF :-\.
-
I've got radio working fine. :)

Shane Tuck now in the middle of the ground on Brock McLean.
Potter praised Dea in the huddle for his job so far on Setanta.
Point to Bullants.

Goo may have been carried off the ground. Commentators still checking who it is.
Derickx now in the ruck.
Sheesh we are struggling to get the ball outside defensive 50 :help.

Finally get the ball out of defence. Browne marks on 50 but we have no one ahead of him. Kept his composure and patience and finally Contin offers a lead and marks. Goal :gotigers
Cob 29

Goo is still on so he's fine.
Derickx drops a sitter in defence. Coburg still able to get the quick kick out but only to the wing where it's turned over. Results in a Bullants goal.

-
Browne back in the ruck and gets the free but once inside forwsrd 50 the Bullants clear easily. Not much forward pressure.
Bullants though turn it over to Nason who then turns it over himself. Bullants get another goal. They are working harder and pressuring better.

Farmer hits up Lawton who gives to Power. Cartelli tries to mark it on his chest and it's spoiled but it's a free. Gives it to Webberley long from 50m but it's touched.

Coburg 2.4 5.8-38
Bullants 3.4 8.6-54
Goals: Farmer, Nason, Carnell, Contin, Post
-
encouraging from from posty, could be timely to give him a run as a sub, using as second ruckman
-
Bullants had the better of the quarter but Coburg lifted their workrate in the last 5-10 minutes and were on top in general play going into half-time. They needed to as Coburg's small forwards and half-forward line have been pretty slack so far allowing the Bullants running game to get going which is why they are in front. Coburg missed a few gettable chances as well which hasn't helped.
Of the RFC guys sounds like Browne, Post, Dea were the best so far. Postie would have about 8 marks so far and is looking Coburg's best bet to turn the game around.
-
The commentators are saying Webberley was great in the 1st qtr but quiet in the second.
Morton, Tuck, Nason down so far. Need to lift.

what do you expect, ex Blue/Bullant Jordon Bannister umpired, still close mates with most players ::)
-
Coburg only have themselves to blame. If they played with the last qtr intensity, directness and speed of ball movement they wouldn't have been playing catch-up footy all day. Early 2nd and early 3rd quarters cost them the game and we went wide too much too slowly. Offensively can be dangerous but we get caught on the way back due to lack of tackling and defensive pressure (they compared us to Essendon under Knights).
Post - probably the best RFC player all day.
Browne - battled well all day in the ruck.
Dea - did well early but didn't hear him called in the second half. Goo, Post and Tanner seemed to share duties on Thorton and O'hAilpin in the second half.
Nason - poor 3 quarters but lifted in the last.
Webberly - good first and last qtrs.
Derickx - had a quiet first half. Took a couple a strong marks later in the game up forward but stubbing his toe while having a shot on goal was costly.
Hicks - quiet except for those 2 goals.
Tuck - beaten by McLean according to the commentators but he did lift when the game was on the line towards the end.
Morton - in and out of the game. Not enough from an experienced player.
Gourdis - beaten by Thorton :P when in defence. Moved forward just before 3/4 time and kicked a goal but he's only going to get a game at Richmond as a key defender.
Contin - quiet. Wouldn't have heard his name more than 5 times.
Farmer - another who needed to do more. Fairly quiet as well.
Coburg have Box Hill and Williamstown in the next two weeks so they could be 0-4 :-\.

VFL Online marks out of 10:
Dea: 6.5/10. Good early with goal saving marks and spoils.
Hicks: 5. Flashy
Webberley: 6.
Contin: 6
Browne: 7-7.5
Gourdis: 6
Nason: 5. Most of that in last qtr.
Post: 8-8.5. Good at both ends. Should have been moved back forward at the start of the last qtr. 10/10 for that mark.
Tuck: 5.5. Not worthy to be promoted to the seniors based on that.
Morton: 4.5
Farmer: 4. Kicked two but hardly sighted apart from that.
Derickx: 4 (last qtr boost to 5.5)
They gave Postie b.o.g.

Hmm interesting
Thought Tuck was good for 4 qtrs, ditto Browne, Post was better in defence that in attack IMHO
Dea's biggest problem was he wouldn't go in a tackle, will happily corral but couple times today needed to attack the guy with the ball and lay an tackle - didn't do it
thought Nason was better in the 2nd half after an ordinary 1st half

Not crazy good but as one of Post's harshest critics because of his apparent lack in intensity at times I thought when he went down back he worked alot harder off the ball than he did when forward
I would want him to string a few more "good" (as in consistency in effort) togather before he gets an AFL game

Tuck -OK but will be @ Coburg for another week at least
DMac - went OK & kicked a great goal in the dew kickers
Westy- very good & kicked 4 I think, close to seniors according to him
Had a nice chat to Reece Conca, great kid , living with Tom X & said the big fella was very nervous this morning
Really enjoyed my footy fix today
-
Time for Dea.
IMO not based on today
I saw Hardwick take Dea aside at the 3/4 time huddle and have a bit of a chat. It might mean he's in contention for next week, who knows? I thought Post was terrific. The mark down the Coburg grandstand end wing was a screamer. He played well forward, if a little wasteful with a couple of shots. Then he had to drop back to stem the bleeding in the 3rd, and was marking everything down there, as well as drifting back forward to provide an option. In other words, he was working his ass off both ways, something he's been criticised for not doing in the past. Hope he gets a game this week.
That Derickx kick in the last qtr was a shocker. A set shot 20 metres out on a slight angle, it squirted off his boot about three feet off the ground and flew out on the full.
-
Farmer - another who needed to do more. Fairly quiet as well.
Missed a lot of footy, first game back

Round 3 Match Reports Vs, Northern Bullants
Coburg Tigers website
April 19, 2011
Seniors
We met Northern Bullants at the newly renamed Mantello Holden Oval on what was a great day for football.
Bullants started quickly and kicked the first goal,but Mitch farmer who was returning from injury quickly replied and the remainder of the quarter was a bit scrappy with the ball moving between the arcs a lot.
In the second quarter it was basically goal for goal until we let the Bullants get a few late goals and we went into the main break 3 goals adrift.
He third quarter was very similar again to the first but Thornton and O’hailpin were proving a bit of a handful up forward for the Bullants,but Matt Dea was doing a great job on Ahmed Saad who had been dangerous in other games with his goal licking.
We headed into the last quarter just 10 points down and were confident we could over run them but they got the jump on us early in the quarter but we rallied back with goals to Hicks,Carnell and James Lawton with 2 and Tom Derickx started to take some strong marks up forward, but when the siren sounded we went down by 7 points.
A disappointing result, but the positives were Andrew Browne who was dominant in the ruck once again. Ben Clifton did a great job on Ellard,and Jayden Post was dangerous both in attack and also when he was thrown into defence.Nick Carnell once again proved what a valuable player he is to the club also.
We now look forward to meeting Box Hill for the annual Anzac Day clash next Sunday 24th April at Box Hill City Oval.

DEVELOPMENT SQUAD
The Development squad had a great win and there were some positive signs to indicate our depth for this year and for the future is good.
Nathan Thomas was effective with his tackling and overall midfield play.
Andrew Duhau was dangerous all day up and around the half forward line and Rowan Hore once again showed that he may not be far away from a senior game if he continues to play the way he has been with his strong marking and goal kicking.Dylan Murphy was elusive around the goals and his is a strong tackler for a player of his size.
Nick Westhoff was a focal target up forward also and Willie Wheeler was effective playing on ball and his clearance work similar to Nathan Thomas set us up with regular forward attacks.

how could dea possibly get 2nd best on ground for 7 disposals????
-
He third quarter was very similar again to the first but Thornton and O’hailpin were proving a bit of a handful up forward for the Bullants,but Matt Dea was doing a great job on Ahmed Saad who had been dangerous in other games with his goal licking.
:lol

I wouldn't have had him second best for Coburg but he did take Bullants most dangerous forward Ahmed Saad out of the game and early on saved at least a couple of goals through marks and spoils.

Maybe he did a great stoppping job on Saad.

I thought he was OK but not in the best
As I mentioned previously, biggest problem I had with his games was his unwillingness to tackle, just wanted to corral far too often.
-
Perhaps Dea did exactly what was asked of him by the the coaches?
Matt Dea (5 kicks, 2 handballs, 4 marks)
Played his defensive role extremely well to nullify the Bullants’ dangerous small forward Ahmed Saad. Used his possessions to the team’s advantage. [/quote
-
Nullified a dangerous small forward you say? :shh
-
perhaps it should have read a dangerous VFL small forward. :P
Either way the coaches were obviously happy with the task he performed, thus they named him in the best.
Has been an emergency for Richmond the last few weeks so could be getting a guernsey soon

Bullants Remain Undefeated
Katelyn Pinal
VFL official site
From the opening bounce everyone at the newly named Mantello Holden Oval knew that this was going to be a close one. But in the end it was the Northern Bullants who walked out seven point winners over a resilient Coburg outfit as Katelyn Pinal reports.
It was a hard-hitting game that was going to be decided from the midfield as both defensive ends were not letting anything through in the first quarter. After some great defensive work from the Bullants forward line and some quick feet from Carlton’s Setanta O’hAilpin, Adam Marcon was able to open the goal scoring for the Ants. Once this goal came, the Bullants managed to break through with Brett Thorton and the big Irish man O’hAilpin adding to the tally.
In the latter stages of the quarter the Tigers managed to pick up and force turnovers and were spurred on by a spectacular mark by Jayden Post, his first of three for the day. Defensive pressure from both teams kept scoring opportunities to a minimum with Bullants leading Coburg by just the single goal at the first change.
The second quarter saw much of the same, only this time it was Coburg that broke through with the first goal. Two very different styles of play became more evident as the Bullants utilised the middle corridor brilliantly, where as Coburg opted to kick across field to the wings. Some poor choices and Coburg’s inability to directly hit their targets let the Tigers down, turning over a lot of ball with dropped marks and kicks falling just short . Coburg just could not seem to convert their opportunities to those all important six points and at half time break the Bullants had stretched their lead to 24.
The beginning of the third quarter was all Bullants as we saw some more fancy footwork from O’hAilpin for the first goal. Less than a minute later, some excellent scrapping from Thornton saw the Bullants up and about with yet another goal. Some strong ruck work from Nick Meese saw the Bullants control clearances and another scoring opportunity soon presented itself with Wade Twoney kicking the Bullants third for the quarter. The Tigers just did not seem to have an answer for the fast paced Bullants who dominated the majority of the third term. Signs of a comeback began to surface towards the end from Coburg with their ruck working overtime, but their forward line seemed to be playing from behind.
The Bullants looked to continue their domination in the last quarter, outrunning and out-bodying a sluggish Coburg. Again the excellent defensive work from Bullants and some poor disposal from the Tigers let them down early. A soccer goal from Mitch Farmer sparked some last minute life into the Tigers who looked to make a late comeback. Some quick work from Robert Hicks pull the Tigers back to within 7 points.
In the end the Bullants were just too strong and Coburg’s inability to use their opportunities saw them fall just short. Setanta O’hAilpin was outstanding up forward with four goals for the Bullants, backed up well by Paul Bower and Brock McLean in defence and not many could look past Jayden Post’s numerous spectacular marks throughout the day.
