The event was a Richmond Football Club intra-club practice match, and many of the Tigers stars were in action.
Former Berwick junior footballer Logan Hill, who has made a good early impression with new club Coburg, was invited to play in the game and made a good fist of it.
The teenager looked at home at the top level, picking up several high-quality possessions while playing with and against AFL stars including Matthew Richardson, Nathan Brown, Joel Bowden and Shane Tuck.

Riewoldt, Connors, Collins, McGuane, King, Casserly played for Coburg. Schulz played 1st 3 qtrs.
Game was a draw.
Thanks to WP :cheers
-
WP said there were no standouts but Riewoldt did some good things, strong overhead.
-
Very young squad of Coburg players - thought they did very well. The Geelong VFL team were a big unit compared to the Burger boys.
As MT said I thought Reiwoldt showed a bit - very strong overhead but needs to work on speed off the mark a bit. I liked Casserley's game - disposal by foot is very good (could have used in the seniors ::)) Jake King played across half back and did ok although sometimes he didn't seem to have an opponent. McGuane played a fair bit at FB on Playfair - got beaten and was moved to FF.
I only got to see the final 5 minutes of the first half plus the 2nd half because of the queues trying to get into the venue (fancy only having 2 gates open :banghead).
Promising signs for the Burgers - very hard tackling and running unit.
-
Thanks for the report WP :).
Yep Casserly would've been a better option in the seniors. He should have played. He was in the top 15 for most of the preseason until he copped a hammy and was back to full training last week. Only reason he didn't play was because he didn't play in the Cranbourne intra-club game.
How did Schulz go in his 3 quarters WP?
-
How did Schulz go in his 3 quarters WP?
Will be honest didn't really notice him MT but I suppose the pleasing thing is he got throw the 3 qtrs and moved well. He unfortunately starts behind the rest of the group again because he's been injured. Saw him after the game and he was walking and moving OK - didn't seem sore or anything like that
-
According to the Geelong forum cats claw, the final score was 7.9-51 a piece and the final quarter only went for 12 minutes ???.
-
Probably like at local footy where the magoos have to finish by a designated time. The main game start time is not held up. :) Maybe the VFL game was running late for some reason.
-

Absolutely correct
Final quarter went 12.29 minutes :rollin
Perhaps it started late because of the queques of people trying to get into the ground ::) :banghead

Plough's summary of the Coburg game:
How did the Richmond-list boys go with Coburg in the curtain-raiser against Geelong’s VFL side on Sunday?
It was really pleasing. We had only a skeleton squad of kids, and it wasn’t even the best Coburg players who were running around, yet they managed to get a draw against a side that made the VFL grand final last year. There were some terrific efforts from our first-year boys, in particular. I thought Andrew Collins, when moved into the middle of the ground in the second half, was extraordinary with his ability to get the ball out of the middle, through the ‘heavy traffic’. He showed some really good signs for the future. Jack Riewoldt had an excellent game playing key-position forward . . . mainly centre half-forward, but down deep at full-forward at times, as well. They were probably the two stand-outs over the whole game. Daniel Connors was outstanding in the first half, but died out a bit from a fitness point of view after half-time. Young Shane Edwards missed the game with a slight ankle injury, but he’ll also be back playing this week.

That's an amazingly young and inexperienced side. Gone from last year are Kuret, Young, Jorgensen, Randello and Rimington.
The "experienced" ones left are largely Neville, Shelton, Ronaldson ans Silvester, the only ones to have played 20 VFL games.
In the first month of training they might have needed name tags on their chests.

Yep lost by 40 points in a practice game. There's another thread on it. Mind you Werribee had Darcy, Murphy, Griffen, Street and other Bulldogs playing for them. The only RFC players playing were JON and Casserly.
Coburg 2.0 5.2 6.2 10.5 (65)

a bit of an "hmmmmmm ... what do you take from it" ???
I was there and I looked at it like this - bascially an under 19's squad taking on a much bigger team. Great experience for the young blokes. There were some very impressive youngsters running around - the kid Gazzo looks like an very good pick-up.
And when the real stuff starts and you throw in few bigger blokes from the RFC - things look Ok for the Burgers

Gee It is a young list reads like a psuedo richmond rookie list to me
-
You're right Mopsy. A Calder U19's side.
Is the SANFL poaching Victorians? I know every SANFL club and the league made a profit last year so they may have cash to throw around to attract interstate players.
-
One player to watch this year will be young Sam Robertson.
I was hoping Richmond would rookie list him.
-
For whats is worth, Sam,s partner/girlfriend is a great piece of eye-candy, the guys should keep a look out for her at the Coburg Oval :thumbsup

Poaching is a nice way of putting it I would have thought. SANFL CLubs offer big $$$ plus usually guarantee them a job as well

No home final for Coburg
Even if Coburg ends up earning a home final, it won't be played at Coburg's home ground according to Martin Stillman, General Manager of the VFL.
With City Oval, Coburg still restricted due to the fire that affected the grandstand, meaning that the venue is also unlikely to host a final.

No Quarter Given
The Coburg Tigers do one thing better than any other club – they keep the scoreboard ticking over.
They have only been held goalless once and restricted to one-goal quarters on two occasions. This
has resulted in Coburg sitting equal first with Sandringham for the most quarters won, with its goal differential in the ‘black’ in every quarter.
Certainly, Coburg saves its best effort until the last quarter. The Tigers outscore the opposition 71 to 44 goals and have kept the opposition to two goals or less seven times.
Quarters Won 35; Lost 22; Drawn 3 (2nd best record overall)

Collins breaks new ground
Tigers coach bloods TAC Cup youngsters in VFL.
VFL Record - Round 18
Andy Collins’ belief in youth development is well documented, but the Coburg Tigers’ coach took his philosophy to a new level late last month.
Collins introduced James Polkinghorne, a Calder Cannons player, into Coburg’s senior team for the round 16 match.
While the idea was spawned after watching Jack Riewoldt, Mitch Thorp, Tom Hislop and other under-18 players perform well for Tasmania last season, Collins broke new ground for mainland VFL clubs.
Although the rules allow for it, no TAC Cup player had represented a VFL senior side since the competition was revamped in 2000.
Collins, in consultation with Cannons coach David Flood, region manager Chris Gleeson, AFL Victoria
operations manager David Code and VFL general manager Martin Stillman agreed that Polkinghorne
met the criteria.
Gleeson said the topic of playing Cannons players at Coburg was raised before the season started and both clubs were happy to explore it given the right circumstances.
“I know both ‘Collo’ (Andy Collins) and David have been talking about it earnestly for the past six
weeks to see how it could work,” Gleeson said.
And Polkinghorne was not cuddled in his first VFL match, lining up for the first bounce on opponent Troy Makepeace and at one stage playing on St Kilda’s 200-game veteran Andrew Thompson.
According to Collins, Polkinghorne, a member of Vic Metro’s under-18 team, acquitted himself well,
with the coach including a passage of play from Coburg Tigers’ newest player on the club’s weekly highlight reel.
The 18-year-old played approximately two and a half quarters and collected a dozen possessions.
“He did a couple of really special things, and one exceptional play where he took a mark in a contested area, played on immediately, shrugged three tackles and with beautiful poise and balance, hit Brent Hartigan with a left-foot pass,” Collins said.
“It was a genuine highlight that we showed to all the players again on the Monday night. It was a huge benefit not only for Coburg, but also for AFL clubs to see this boy play at this level.
“I just think it is a great idea. I spoke to David Flood about it and he was really enthusiastic. The Calder Cannons have been so supportive of promoting these young guys.”
Collins said the inclusion of Polkinghorne was welcomed by the Coburg players, many of whom had
been colleagues of the youngster at the Cannons. The former Hawk noted that many Coburg players
wished they had been given the opportunity to showcase their talent while playing in the TAC Cup.
“None of them begrudged James the opportunity,” Collins said.
“Hopefully, we are going to see a lot more of it in the VFL.”
Collins has already lived up to his word, playing Mitch Farmer, another Calder Cannon, in the round 17 match against Geelong.

As poor as this season has been for the tiges i think at a grass roots level we are looking in fantastic form. Compare that to Box Hill and the Hawks. I think we are positioned better in the long run considering football is gonna get faster and faster and more a transitional game.
Having Collins as our senior twos coach only contributes to our positive standing when it comes to Juniors. Mcrae is another positive addition.
Warms the cockles :thumbsup

And what is the limit for the number of Richmond listed players that can play with Coburg in the finals?

IMO no reason why not to. Good experience for both of them.
The first week of the VFL finals is on the same weekend as Round 22 so it's open to all AFL players but the following finals have the 7 game prerequisite. It wouldn't be a surprise if someone like Edwards is dropped to notch up enough games to qualify. Imagine our cubs winning a premiership together even a VFL one :thumbsup. Geelong won the VFL flag in 2002 with their then youngsters and look at them now.

It's the 12/10 rule I think LT.

VFL DEBUTANTS - Debutants make their mark
VFL Record
Andy Collins wasn't just shooting the breeze with his early season declaration that he intended to promote youth at every opportunity.
The Coburg Tigers' coach was true to his word, as his club clearly leads the "mainland" VFL clubs for the most players to debut in season 2007.
Few coaches have embraced trying young players as much as Collins, and the ex-Hawthorn star and Sandringham premiership coach has been rewarded.
While hardly anyone gave the Coburg Tigers a show of playing nals, let alone making the top four, given the exodus of experienced VFL players at the start of the season, Coburg is well placed for a legitimate run at its first premiership in 18 years.
This has been built on the back of a liberal sprinkling of debutants who have made an immediate impact at the VFL level. Up to and including round 18, the Coburg Tigers had introduced 13 first-year players to senior VFL football this season.
And, that number includes two Calder Cannons TAC Cup players Mitch Farmer and James Polkinghorne.
Coburg's debutants range from 18 years of age (Farmer and Polkinghorne) to Glen Carrick and Damien Rayson, who are both 22.
Apart from cameos from Farmer and Polkinghorne, all the Coburg Tigers debutants other than Paul Currie have played more than one match. Andrew Horne and Fortunato Caruso, a dual Morrish medallist, have played the most games with 12 and 10 respectively. All up, Coburg Tigers' rookies have played a combined 65 games. And Coburg has bumped up its total of first year debutants from nine last year to 13 so far in 2007.
Coburg Tigers - 13 first-year players, 65 games:
Ryan Anderson (7), Glen Carrick (2), Fortunato Caruso (10), Paul Currie (1), Steven Foster (3), Joe Gazzo (9), Logan Hill (3), Andrew Horne (12), Jason Morgan (4), Damien Rayson (5), Myles Sewell (7), Mitchell Farmer (1), James Polkinghorne (1)

Thanks WP, no possible conspiracy theories about not getting an assistant gig ?
Geez, the West Adelaide Bloods could do with a decent coach after Wayne Weidemen (mulleted Crows cult figure from the ealy 90's) getting walloped weekly in the SANFL. Andy will sort the party boys out from there pretty quickly.
-
Thanks WP, no possible conspiracy theories about not getting an assistant gig ?
No conspiracy theories at all.
I agree that after Weidemann there is only one way for Wests to go and thats up.
I read with interest that 2 Coburg boys (lesser known btw) are making the trek to SA to join Collo.
Logan Hill & Ryan Anderson

Logan Hill is a gun. I wanted us to consider him for a rookie spot.

i reckon hill is just a good VFL player, better players ahead of him at the burgers like Gazzo, Horne, Carnell and Ando

Top-aged Calder Cannons who have missed out on AFL selection have been invited to do pre-season training with the club's VFL affiliate Coburg Tigers :thumbsup.
http://www.morelandleader.com.au/article/2007/12/17/27131_cov_sports.html
Calder's 2007 list is here:
http://www.sportingpulse.com/nf/team_info.cgi?c=1-3020-27642-52873-5262044&a=STATS
Take out those drafted this year: Dean Putt, Addam Maric, Darcy Daniher, James Polkinghorne, Mitch Farmer, Tony Armstrong, Aaron Kite, Jeremy Laidler, Ashley Arrowsmith and Phil Smith. Jackson Trengove is eligible for the 2008 AFL draft.
Coburg can then choose from the rest who were part of Calder's premiership team.
-
The benefits of our tri-affiliation with Coburg and Calder :thumbsup. Like having a 2nd rookie draft all to ourselves.
-
Inside Football says retention has been the focus at Coburg.
Ryan Anderson and Logan Hill have followed Andy Collins to West Adelaide, Tommy Simpson returned to the Ammos, Myles Sewell went back to North Ballarat (only played in Melbourne because he was doing first-year at Melb. Uni) and Jono Mullins has joined Port Melbourne.
However all other senior players are back on deck and the Burgers are thrilled Richmond rookie-listed Silvester.
-
Surprised Mullins has left although he must have thought his opportunities were limited as he didn't play seniors in the VFL finals.
No mention of Neville leaving so fingers crossed there.
Inside football said Geelong has lost 9 of its VFL premiership players so with our Richmond additions Coburg should be a real show next year.
-
Word on the VFLfooty site is that Travis Ronaldson has been accepted into Adelaide University this year. Looks like he will sign with West Adelaide now that he's been assured of his entrance into uni.

Someone here told me about Ronaldson possibly leaving Coburg as we've rookied list Cartledge and drafted Putt. He's followed Andy Collins across the border to the Bloods. Coburg will now have to choose a new captain.

i suppose the new captain would have to be a non-richmond listed player. Im sure someone will be able to step up.
I actually dont mind this move of Ronaldsons. Makes alot of sense for him and it gives Cartledge a much better opportumity to show/hone his wares.

A carrot for Neville to stay at Coburg. Otherwise perhaps Shelton.

Heard today that the Coburg list will be finalised soon. No further mention of departures apart from what we already knew (Anderson and Logan Hill joining Andy Collins at West Adelaide).

Devil's in the detail for NW game - Coast may host VFL match
By MARTIN AGATYN
THE Tasmanian Devils could play a VFL match on the North- West Coast for the first time in three years this season.
Burnie Sports and Events, AFL Tasmania and the Burnie Dockers Football Club are currently working on a plan for a gala football day at West Park on June 14, the highlight of which will be a VFL match between the Tasmanian Devils and Coburg Tigers.
If it goes ahead, it will be almost three years to the day the last VFL game was played on the Coast, in Devonport, on June 11, 2005.
AFL Tasmania general manager Scott Wade said the Burnie fixture was not a "done deal" yet, as there were still a number of details to be worked out, but he was optimistic it would go ahead.
The match is currently scheduled in the 2008 VFL roster as a home game for Coburg, but Wade said AFL Tasmania would "buy" the game from the VFL.
He said the idea for the promotion was instigated by Burnie Sports and Events and the Burnie City Council.
"We've already held discussions and we are developing a relationship with all the groups involved," Wade said.
He said the VFL match would not be promoted as a stand-alone game.
"We want to turn this into an event, so it will also involve a business luncheon, promotions involving Auskick and juniors and probably an NTFL match as a curtain- raiser," Wade said.
"Burnie are scheduled to play Ulverstone at West Park on that day, so the Dockers have been involved in the discussions and planning."
Wade said the feedback from the Coburg Tigers, which have strong connections with the North-West Coast, had also been positive to date.
The team is coached by former Devonport and Western Bulldogs star Jade Rawlings and the general manager is former Ulverstone and Essendon big man Ryan O'Connor.
AFL Tasmania stopped playing Devils games on the Coast three years ago after poor crowd support and concerns over unsuitable infrastructure.
Wade urged Coastal football followers to vote with their feet if the June 14 game went ahead.
"This will be a great opportunity for the Coast," he said.
Burnie Sports and Events CEO Stephen Hite said the event would have tangible benefits for the City of Burnie.
"There's still a fair way to go yet, but we are hopeful it will go ahead," Hite said.

Didnt know Ryan O'Connor was involved at Coburg. Top bloke he is from my hometown. :thumbsup :thumbsup
Anyway thats about half an hour from me so I'd be very pleased to have some Tiges play nearby and so would be supporters club that operates on the coast I'd imagine. :clapping

Chutney was like this :ROTFL when reading that CUB.
Told me :thatsgold
and then added :nope :nope :nope

Wont be no Cuzz at Coburg, but you are thinking along the right lines there CUB :shh

Coburg tipped to move
Moreland Leader
Simon Craig
28Jan08
VFL team the Coburg Tigers could relocate to Craigieburn if funding is secured to build a $10 million football training facility in the booming outer suburb.
A confidential agreement struck between the Richmond Tigers, Hume Council, Stockland and the AFL includes reference to a VFL team playing at the ground, earmarked for the corner of Grand Blvd and Windrock Ave.
Coburg is Richmond's VFL feeder team.
When asked if Coburg was set to move up the Hume Hwy, AFL Victoria CEO Peter Schwab replied: ``There's a fair chance that that could happen.
``I can't give a 100 per cent guarantee but logic would say it looks that way.
``Richmond has a close affiliation with Coburg.''
Mr Schwab said the Calder Cannons, Coburg Tigers' TAC Cup under-18s feeder club based at Coburg City Oval, would probably follow suit.
However, he stressed that nothing had been agreed to.
``The first priority is to get it actually built,'' he said.
Coburg general manager Ryan O'Connor said the club had not been approached about the move and would not be commenting on the matter at this stage.
The move would dovetail with Richmond's desire to develop a support base in Melbourne's growing north-western suburbs.
Hume Council city sustainability director David Keenan said participation by any VFL or AFL club at the proposed facility depended on the project partners securing adequate state and federal funding.
The consortium is seeking government funding of about $4.6 million.
The council's pledge to contribute $2.5 million has raised the ire of the Craigieburn Basketball Association, which has been forced to turn players away and says the money would be better spent building extra courts at the Craigieburn Leisure Centre.
The mooted football facility includes an oval as big as the MCG's and two more sports fields, as well as a sports pavilion and grandstand.

As mentioned in the practice match thread, Jade Rawlings said Chris Stewart (#24 in the yellow for those who went today) has joined Coburg from North Heidelberg. Solid lad who kicked a couple of nice goals towards the end of the game including a Daicos one along the ground. Jade said he's a good player but just needs to get his fitness up.
Joe Gazzo was the easily recognisable Burger out there (#29 yellow).
There was probably 8 Burgers all up but I didn't have a clue who was who. One may have been Josh Jones.

Seems VFL clubs are slowly becoming the poorer cousins to clubs west of the Victorian border
SANFL CLUBS NEED SALARY-CAP BOOST
Sportsbeat (SA)
With the advent of a national competition, sanfl clubs have long enjoyed enough financial muscle to ensure they can outbid vfl & wafl teams and attract the vast majority of quality recruits outside of the afl.
The sanfl's salary cap is far in excess of those of the vfl & wafl- a centrpiece in the sanfl's desire to be regarded as the best state-league competition in the country & much to the frustration of both the wafl & the vfl.
Quickly the landscape is changing. while the salary cap in sa remains virtually double that of the state-league clubs in vic & wa, the mining based economic boom in wa has made the nine wafl clubs able to package very lucrative work offers to complement an inferior football contract.
Several midfielders & ruckmen have found their way into the wafl in 2008 after local clubs (sa) believed they had offered them very attractive contracts to play in the sanfl.
The economic boom in wa is certain to see sanfl clubs beating down the door at west lakes demanding a further lift in our salary cap. such a move would be vigorously opposed by the vfl, which is the big loser in the recruiting race, and quite likely the afl, which has always cast a suspicious eye on the size of the sanfl salary cap.

Tigers to stay - we hope
Moreland Leader
Simon Craig
04Feb08
MORELAND'S councillor responsible for recreation admits the council and local footy fans will be ``very disappointed'' if the Coburg Tigers move to Craigieburn.
But Cr John Kavanagh remains confident Coburg, Richmond's VFL feeder team, will stay in the municipality, saying he would be ``surprised'' if the move eventuated.
Cr Kavanagh was speaking in the wake of a report in last week's Leader that Coburg could leave City Oval (recently rebranded as ABD Group Stadium) for the proposed $10 million football centre in the booming outer suburb.
A confidential agreement struck between the Richmond Tigers, Hume Council, Stockland and the AFL includes reference to a VFL team playing at the ground.
The Calder Cannons, Coburg's TAC Cup under-18s feeder team, would likely follow suit.
AFL Victoria chief executive Peter Schwab said there was a ``fair chance'' the teams would move to Craigieburn if the consortium can secure about $4.6 million in government funding.
Cr Kavanagh described the Coburg Tigers as ``an important part of our community.''
``They have big local support and it would be very disappointing to see them leave,'' he said.
``We have a lot of young local footballers involved in the club.''
Hume Mayor Mohamad Abbouche said having a VFL team based at Craigieburn would be ``great for the community''.
Coburg general manager Ryan O'Conner again declined to comment.

Just to let everyone know the VFL have decided that there will be NO VFL curtain raisers at the MCG in season 2008.. No reason why just that they wont be played
Coburg were due to play Geelong in a curtain raiser to the Richmond -v- Geelong on May 17th. this is not going ahead and the VFL game has been moved to Skilled Stadium.
Pathetic decision IMHO
-
Rumour has it that the VFL thinks playing curtainraisers to AFL games cheapens the VFL.
-
Coburg have an intra-club this weekend and the following week Saturday 1st March at noon they play the Bendigo Bombers.

Rumour has it that the VFL thinks playing curtainraisers to AFL games cheapens the VFL.
Well good on them - NOT :banghead
I would have thought it was great way of selling the VFL brand and getting more people to see VFL footy
Oops sorry too logical perhaps ::)

Yep too sensible WP but tell that to those ex-VFAers in the modern VFL who see it a bowing down to the AFL (old VFL).

What's with playing a game at that dump :-\.
Any sauces popping down to have a squizz?
-
I was in attendance and very close to the action tonight!! :shh Didnt get that many touches but did a lot of running!!
It was fairly windy down at Vic Park this afternoon with most of the scoring done to the old scoreboard end.
There was a good mix of Coburg and Richmond players.
Playing from Richmond were:
Connors: got a few touches although was nothing special
Edwards: played fairly well on the wing, makes good use of the footy
Raines: showed plenty of dash and attack off half back, still tried to do too much at times and caused a turn over
Cartledge: was serviceable in the ruck
Collins: got a few touches but nothing flash
Putt: Done some nice thngs early and had the best of McGuane in the first qtr, still has a lot of development but i like the look of this kid. Can definately play up forward aswell as in the ruck.
Collard: didnt do a great deal, kicked one but did nothing to stand out
Hyde: played the game off the wing and got a few touches but tries to take people on too often in my opinion which is a bit of a downfall
Graham: Did ok without being flash
Gourdis: Played down back and looked small next to Polak, probably wasnt one of his better games
Polak: Look dangerous all day up forward but never torn the game apart, presented well but couldnt hold his marks
Cogs: Played most of the game and got a few touches, was good and would be happy to get through another game. His footy brain certainly stood out at times.
Jackson: Was pretty good in the first half and kicked a few goals, showed some good signs.
McGuane: I think it was his first run for the pre-season and he was ok and got better as the game went on.
Rance was there but didnt play.
I cant tell you all the goal kickers etc as i was too pre occupied running along the boundary line, man those umpires are fit!!!
For Coburg some of the better players were Horne, Rayson, Fort Caruso, Rhett Jordan (this kid looked very impressive up forward) Little and there may be a few others that i missed on.
It was a little scrapy but all in all was a good contest.
For the record MT, the ground is in very good condition down there at Vic Park.
-
Top report TFL :cheers :bow :thumbsup.
Great to hear Cogs got through another game. How would you judge his fitness TFL? Did he get his possessions just at the stoppages or was he able to link up too?
Pleasing to hear Edwards and Jacko were prominent.
What caused Polak to drop his marks. Usually he has good hands.
Gourdis is a long-term prospect. The hype around him before the draft was over the top.
-
Cogs fitness appears pretty good, he ran all day except for a small break on the bench.
He got possesions at stoppages as well as linking up around the ground. He was encouraging and his disposal was also very good off both sides of his body.
Polak was trying to mark from behind a lot which didnt help him. He kept getting first hands on the ball but could hang on to a lot of them.
Shane Edwards is just a class act in my book. I love the way he moves and how he uses the ball. He is a star in the making!!
Gourdis is certainly a long term prospect. He moves well and looks well built for his age, appeared a little unsure yesterday and maybe just needs a little confidence.

As some of you may know I am a teacher in an outer eastern suburbs private school.
Anyway, young Rhett Jordon was in my Yr 12 IT class last year.
Good to see him get a run with Coburg. He is a mad passionate Richmond supporter.
Good attitude and keen as mustard to learn and continue to develop.

What type of player is he 1965 - Tall, utility, midfielder (inside or outside)?
He played CHF for the College and could have dominated but didn't.
He bought a whole lot of the rest of the side into the game.
He would be 6' 1" and still growing so probably HFF at this stage.
Likes a bit of aggro as well.
Well defined for his age (only just turned 18).

Cheers TFL. That's certainly terrific news about Cogs. Good to hear he played almost a full game on the ground and was able to play a more all round game compared to a couple of weeks ago when he was limited to 5-10 min spells and really only won possession at the stoppages. I'm still not expecting much from him this year but hopefully yesterday was a sign he's not to far away from a game at Richmond.

He would be 6' 1" and still growing so probably HFF at this stage.
Likes a bit of aggro as well.
Well defined for his age (only just turned 18).

Cheers 65.

I was in attendance and very close to the action tonight!! :shh Didnt get that many touches but did a lot of running!!
It was fairly windy down at Vic Park this afternoon with most of the scoring done to the old scoreboard end.
There was a good mix of Coburg and Richmond players.
Playing from Richmond were:
Connors: got a few touches although was nothing special
Edwards: played fairly well on the wing, makes good use of the footy
Raines: showed plenty of dash and attack off half back, still tried to do too much at times and caused a turn over
Cartledge: was serviceable in the ruck
Collins: got a few touches but nothing flash
Putt: Done some nice thngs early and had the best of McGuane in the first qtr, still has a lot of development but i like the look of this kid. Can definately play up forward aswell as in the ruck.
Collard: didnt do a great deal, kicked one but did nothing to stand out
Hyde: played the game off the wing and got a few touches but tries to take people on too often in my opinion which is a bit of a downfall
Graham: Did ok without being flash
Gourdis: Played down back and looked small next to Polak, probably wasnt one of his better games
Polak: Look dangerous all day up forward but never torn the game apart, presented well but couldnt hold his marks
Cogs: Played most of the game and got a few touches, was good and would be happy to get through another game. His footy brain certainly stood out at times.
Jackson: Was pretty good in the first half and kicked a few goals, showed some good signs.
McGuane: I think it was his first run for the pre-season and he was ok and got better as the game went on.
Rance was there but didnt play.
I cant tell you all the goal kickers etc as i was too pre occupied running along the boundary line, man those umpires are fit!!!
For Coburg some of the better players were Horne, Rayson, Fort Caruso, Rhett Jordan (this kid looked very impressive up forward) Little and there may be a few others that i missed on.
It was a little scrapy but all in all was a good contest.
For the record MT, the ground is in very good condition down there at Vic Park.
Boundary Umpire hey. Ummmmmmmm
Hope you not related to the guy who headbutted Phil Carman , lol

I will have to check my family tree Jack but i dont think there is any link :lol

Give me a call soon, have to catch up for a drink soon. :cheers

I actually headed down to have a look.
I thought Cogs looked really fit - seems to have lost some weight, does not appear to be as heavy in the upper body as he did when he played before he did his knee the first time - which is a good thing IMHO. Still no great pace but I thought he looked OK.
I reckon TFL's summary is a good one

Good on Tas. Hopefully he puts his head down and works hard at the Burgers.

Tas played quite well last week in the intra club match.
He is still very skinny though, someone mentioned last night at training that he looked thinner than last season which is a worry.

Actually saw a glimpse of the Burgers training yesterday as I was stuck in traffic ;D
They looked good.
I've heard they've assembled a really good footy department this year. :thumbsup
But they are on the look out for some volunteers to help with the stats.
Personally I am too slow to do stats ;D but if anyones interested I'd suggest giving them a call :thumbsup

Well Tas really on played in the Coburg ressies IIRC and he had a chance to remain as a rookie if he was willing to prove his value in pre-draft training yet passed up the opportunity. He's still going to need to work hard both on the track and in the gym if he is play Coburg seniors.

He actually has preety good decision making and his filed kicking despite the awkward style isn't to bad but agree with TfL - a string bean
Having said that Great kid - I think you will find he approached Coburg to play there in 2008 - really loves the Club. I suppose beinga premiership player can have that effect :thumbsup ;D

Good result all round - just remember Geelongs run at the flag started with their improvement in the ressies and therefore adding depth to their list.
We are still young all round but signs are good 'fingers crossed'
Good to see Cogs got through a game and Morton may surprise me.

I beleive it was scheduled as TBC.

Thanks for that WAT :cheers
Obviously a weakened Bendigo line-up but more positive signs from Cogs in his comeback. Hopefully he can step it up and continue to progress well in the Geelong practice match next Friday. I'm hoping Polo and Edwards can come into the seniors too.

Some snippets about Coburg in the Bendigo Advertiser
Coach happy,despite belting
Bendigo Advertiser
March 3, 2008
THE Metricon Bendigo Bombers copped a 118-point belting from the Coburg Tigers at the Queen Elizabeth Oval in their first practice match of the year on Saturday.
However, despite the 25.17 (167) to 7.7 (49) scoreline, Bombers’ coach Adrian Hickmott wasn’t overly concerned by the result.
It was a young Bendigo side that took to the field, including a number of players who had earlier played in the reserves, with first-year Essendon draftee Tom Bellchambers the only AFL-listed player lining up for the Bombers.
While the Bombers went with an inexperienced side with just seven players who had previously played at senior VFL level, Coburg had a star-studded line-up.
Among the Coburg side were Richmond-listed players Mark Coughlan, Jarred Oakley-Nicholls, Mitch Morton, Jack Riewoldt, Dean Polo, Chris Hyde, Tristan Cartledge, Luke McGuane and former Bendigo Pioneer Daniel Connors.
The Bombers made a solid start to the game trailing by just 19 points at the first change, before Coburg took control over the final three quarters.
‘‘Coburg had a really good side out there and brought quite a few Richmond players,’’ Hickmott said after what was his first game in charge of the Bombers.
‘‘When we have guys 18 and 19 years-of-age, you don’t expect their bodies to be as strong as blokes who are full-time footballers, and we saw that today.
‘‘I thought we were reasonably competitive in the first quarter.
‘‘We did all the right things . . . we used the ball the way we wanted to and our set ups were reasonably good.
‘‘But we lost our way a bit in the second quarter, and it nearly felt like we had got ahead of ourselves.’’ The Tigers led 13.8 (86) to 4.4 (28) at half-time, before adding another 12.9 to 3.3 in the second half.
‘‘Throughout the game I put some blokes in our backhalf, more so as a teaching tool to see how the guys could carry and run the ball out and hit targets,’’ Hickmott said.
‘‘They struggled at that a little, but I suppose confidence by then was down and the skills and pressure from Coburg was fairly good.
‘‘But overall, it was a great start in terms of understanding for myself as a coach the players who I have got to work with.
‘‘It was the first real good hit-out I have seen of all the list, so from that point of view it was good for me as a coach.’’ Among those to stand out for the Bombers were Jon Coghlan, James Flaherty, Josh Bowe, James Bristow, Rex Taylor and Bellchambers.

Does it say something for our developing depth that we can field a team to play in the PSC and win easily against the Swans (yes, I know, practice match, Swans not at full strength) and also field a (star-studded lol) team that can comprehensible demolish the Bendigo bombers as an AFL team playing a VFL team should.
I am not saying we are a strong team yet, since these wins do not mean a hell of a lot, but it does seems the weakest on our list is no where near as weak as it was a few years ago.

Apparently Coburg has brought down a kid from Queensland named Matt Davis. I hope I have his name right. Anyone here know anything about him?

M.Davis (Mt Gravatt / 187 / 74)
Hard running flanker type from up north who was good at the Champs. I remember his game vs Tas very well where I thought he linked up play very well and used his engine and pace to consistently cause the Tas blokes some headaches. Kicking skills are fine.
and then . . .

Just to let everyone know the VFL have decided that there will be NO VFL curtain raisers at the MCG in season 2008.. No reason why just that they wont be played
Coburg were due to play Geelong in a curtain raiser to the Richmond -v- Geelong on May 17th. this is not going ahead and the VFL game has been moved to Skilled Stadium.
Pathetic decision IMHO
Well a month is long time in footy......From the VFL website

The VFL advise of the following amendments to the Senior and Reserve Grade fixtures, as documented below:-
Round 7: The Geelong vs. Coburg Tigers match has been rescheduled from Skilled Stadium to the Melbourne Cricket Ground as an AFL Curtain Raiser. The match will be played on Saturday 17th May and will commence at 10.40am

Well at least the right decision was finally made in the end. Too bad it's not our home game. Before the AFL got rid of them I would always get early to the ground to watch the ressies run around.

Yep, 2 games for the price of one. Hopefully once Punt Rd is redeveloped and the oval surface is as big as the Dome we can get some curtain-raiser VFL games there before heading off to the 'G.

Coburg losing Liddle and Horne is a significant loss. It'll mean even more reliance on RFC guys as well next year.
There's plenty of money to go around in the SANFL so no wonder players are moving there if they can't make the AFL. It's arguably the strongest state league over the past few years even with Centrals dominating.

Tigers come to town
By VFL | Paddy Higgs
Hume Moreland Leader
Wed 21 Oct 2009, Page 42
ELITE football is destined for Craigieburn, with Victorian Football League club Coburg announcing it will play five home games at Highgate Recreation Reserve in 2010.
Coburg president Bill Balakis confirmed at the club's presentation night on Friday that the Tigers' 10 home games next season would be split between Craigieburn and Coburg City Oval.
The move had been agreed last month, but was only publicly confirmed last week.
It further strengthens the club's ties with the area, with AFL affiliate Richmond using Highgate for its summer training base.
And Coburg received its blessing from local club Craigieburn, which is hoping to play its home games at the reserve in 2010.
``It's official. We've got the head lease,'' Balakis told Leader.
``Part of the deal is to embrace the football people around the area, not to get them off-side. Realistically, it is our talent pathway as a second-tier football club . . . so we don't want to upset the apple cart.''
It will come as music to the ears of Craigieburn FC, which is confident it will also call Highgate Reserve home in 2010.
The quality of the reserve's surface will provide much relief for the Eagles after spending 2009 on the hard expanses of the DS Aitken Reserve. Gaining access to the state-of-the-art facilities at Highgate would be another plus.
Craigieburn president Bernie Shinners said the club had been kept well informed of the negotiations between Coburg and AFL Victoria regarding the move, and viewed it as a positive.
``We welcome the presence of the Coburg Tigers at Highgate, and we believe if handled properly this could result in a win-win position for both the Coburg Tigers and the Craigieburn Football Club,'' Shinners said.
Coburg has announced last week David Newett as its new coach, while Nick Liddle took out the Tigers' best-and-fairest on Friday night.

Yeah, con. If you field your own team you have full control over selection policy. It allows you to sacrifice, for what of a better word, results for development or even just getting confidence back into players after drops in form or injury.
I understand the financial reasoning behind the move, but i always saw it as step backwards loosing the reserves.
-
Essendon were also trying to offload Bendigo.
We had Rawlings as Coburg coach so we can't blame different playing styles at VFL and AFL levels. Our younger guys also performed much better at Coburg as a team than when all the oldies who didn't give a stuff were sent back there.
Hawthorn won the flag while aligned with a crap Box Hill side. It didn't hamper them. If we want to point the finger then blame the local council who couldn't careless about their local VFL side. It would nice if they had over the years given financial grants to upgrade Coburg City Oval. At least next year half of Coburg's home games will be played at our Craigieburn facility. I'm guessing if we had our VFL side we would play all our home games there. Anyone got a spare $400-500k?
-
It's not so much a matter of blame, MT but just another piece of the puzzle. How much say does RFC have over selection policy at the moment?. I'm sure I've read here about listed players playing in Coburg seconds. Would that happen if RFC had total control over selection policies?
Even what position a kid is being played in is vital to his development. For example if you were trying to groom a draftee as a full forward, how long would coburg keep him in that position if he was inconsistant and they had an unlisted player they could rely on to kick goals regularly. Or alternatively a couple of young blokes are kicking goals for Coburg but the senior forwards were as well :pray , while there was a deficiency in the backline. Who has the final say if RFC decide they want try one as a backman for a while? It must be a real balancing act for both parties as at times as they would have differing agendas.
-
You would be surprised Al.
Richmond has a HUGE say over the way the players are played at Coburg.
If Richmond want something they get it basically.
-
So in effect TFL, Coburg are an extension of RFC rather than a seperate entity? Would those listed players lanquishing in the Coburg 2nds have been doing so with full approval of RFC?
(These are not rhetorical questions)
How does the set up work? Does Coburg elect their own board members, coaching, fitness staff, unlisted players etc?. Are they two legally distinct identities?
-
Potter was Coburg reserves coach wasn't he? Does that mean David Bourke will take over that role or have all the coaches except for Clarke left with the new coach coming in?
Don't think so I read in "Inside Footy" the other week that David Bourke has gone to Williamstown as well

The Coburg Football Club is a separate registered company. The 2 clubs are distinct legal entities
Coburg have their own board elected by their members. Coburg has an alignment with Richmond which means that Richmond sends its players to Coburg to play in the VFL competition
The Coburg Football Club holds the licence to play in the VFL. The licences to play in the VFL competition are issued by AFL Victoria (VFL). As part of the licence Coburg must have it's own list of players to ensure it can filed 2 teams in the VFL (seniors & reserves)
Richmond does not hold a licence to participate in the VFL comp therefore at this stage they cannot field their own VFL team
-
Thanks wp
As part of the licence Coburg must have it's own list of players to ensure it can filed 2 teams in the VFL (seniors & reserves)
Does that mean that the AFL clubs that have their own own VFL teams (Collingwood and Geelong?) have to also field a VFL reserves side as part of their license agreement?

Good to see four games scheduled at Craigieburn. Playing games on a MCG size ground should help with the development of our cubs.
Just as an aside, it was mentioned on SEN today that the link between Richmond, Coburg and Calder is now to the point where the kids at the Cannons follow fitness and dietry regimes set by the Richmond fitness staff.

Tasmania deceide it didn't want to be the VFL - they made that choice. Their preference was a state based league
SO they clearly think they DON'T need a team
Actually disappointing to see only 4 games at Craigieburn
I would have done a 5-4 or 6-3 split myself ;D
-
Maybe Craigieburn could be used as leverage to get the grandstand at Coburg fixed? As in, fix it or more games get shifted to Craigieburn.

Ah good. I'll be going to the Sandringham game, :)

Moreland have had 5 years or is it 6 years to fix the Grandstand
The possibility of playing games at Craigieburn has been on the table for over 18 months and still they do NOTHING
Moreland don't deserve anymore chances

Poaching move angers Pies
James Bresnehan
December 19, 2009
GLENORCHY has demanded the maximum transfer fee of $15,000 for Tasmanian and Magpie captain Shane Piuselli.
Piuselli has signed with VFL club Coburg next year.
He is not the only Magpie who could join AFL club Richmond's VFL team in 2010.
Fellow Pies Jaye Bowden and Bryce O'Garey are also in the sights of the VFL Tigers, now coached by former Glenorchy premiership coach David Newett.
Coburg could be up for $45,000 in transfer fees for the trio.
"I've rung the Coburg football manager and told him that if any of them do go we'll be wanting the maximum transfer fee," Glenorchy chairman Steve Allie said yesterday.
Piuselli confirmed yesterday he would be a Tiger next season, but only on a one-year deal.
"I've got a good relationship with 'Newie' and it's a good opportunity for a change," Piuselli said.
"I'm only going over for a year, at this stage.
"There's no guarantees I'll be playing senior VFL football."
Piuselli will join Coburg's preseason program on January 11.
Allie said Glenorchy was not happy that Newett appeared to be targeting his old club to boost Coburg's stocks.
"There are at least three of our players that he's targeted, and for somebody who got his first opportunity to coach and therefore launch his career at our club to then want to attack it by trying to recruit our players, that is disappointing and unreasonable," Allie said.
"Brendon Bolton [a former North Hobart and Clarence coach] went over to Box Hill and didn't start targeting North Hobart and Clarence players."
Glenorchy believes it will retain Bowden and O'Garey.
"Jaye and Bryce have been over to Coburg and had a look, but I'm not sure they liked what they saw," Allie said.
"They will probably stay. I wish Shane well, personally.
"We must not forget we won 10 games on the trot last season with him out injured, so it's not the end of the world."
Piuselli defended Newett's recruiting drive.
"Glenorchy has had the success it has had over the past four years because of the culture that David Newett set up," Piuselli said.

Tigers secure Power for 2010
By VFL football | Paddy Higgs
Hume Moreland Leader
Wed 23 DEC 2009, Page 30
COBURG'S on and off-field stocks have been boosted, with the Tigers signing delisted North Melbourne ball magnet Sam Power as playing assistant-coach.
The Tigers had made bids for both Power and fellow former Kangaroo Daniel Harris, pending the chance both might be picked up in last Tuesday's AFL preseason and rookie drafts.
Harris found a new home after being taken at No. 1 in the preseason draft by Gold Coast.
But Power's passing over is Coburg's gain. He will play a similar role to the Tigers' 2009 playing-assistant Tim Clarke.
Power is well-known to Coburg coach David Newett, who worked with the AFL 123-gamer at the Kangaroos during the past two seasons. "I'm rapt,'' Newett said.
"He's a quality person and an outstanding leader. He's very professional in the way he prepares and plays.''
The fallout from the drafts is set to continue for Coburg.
Having stitched up Power and highly rated dasher Justin Kadhlefelt from Queensland, Newett will turn to youth to complement the Tigers squad.
"We'll look at any gaps from our list's perspective, of what we need to do,'' he said.
"We're just about covered, so we'll be a bit more selective now.
"We'll obviously speak to all the Cannons boys and some other kids that missed out.''

Some more Coburg news not on the net but in the local rag albeit from 10 days ago......
Winds of change sweep Tigerland
By VFL football | Paddy Higgs
Hume Moreland Leader
Wed 16 Dec 2009, Page 42
COBURG Tigers' David Newett-led revolution has begun and it may have even the most ardent of supporters reaching for the record come Round 1 of 2010.
The VFL club has farewelled several from its 2009 crop, but reinforcements are lining up.
Gone are former playing-assistant Tim Clarke (Richmond's new development coach) and South Australia departees Nick Liddle, Andrew Horne and Nat Caruso.
Arriving is highly rated midfielder Justin Kadhlefelt, while the Tigers have also lined up two former AFL players to join Newett's coaching staff.
The duo will join Coburg as assistants if they are not able to find homes in today's (Tuesday) AFL preseason or rookie drafts.
"They've basically said they're going to play with us, but their first priority is the rookie draft,'' coach Newett said. "If they don't get drafted, they're playing for us.''
Kadhlefelt, a ball-carrying onballer who played for Southport in the Queensland Australian Football League, is helping ease the burden of losing best-and-fairest Liddle.
Newett said there would also be increased opportunities for fringe players Damien Rayson, Ben Clifton, Jason Morgan, Murphy Ambrose and Tom Groves.
Several Calder Cannons, including Andy Duhau, will also bolster the Tigers' youth stocks.
"Andy Duhau is training really well,'' Newett said of the 19-year-old who had three games with Coburg last season under the VFL's 23rd-man rule.
"He's been very good. He shows very good leadership skills.''
It means that, come the new season, the Tigers' line-up is likely to be largely unrecognisable from its 2009 equivalent.
Coburg is also nearing an appointment for its vacant general manager position. President Bill Balakis told Leader the club had a shortlist of three names and began interviews last week.
-
Having Kadhlefelt at Coburg I guess gives a chance to have a season long look at him in a stronger comp. than the QAFL. Given all the older Burgers who have left Coburg they'll need all the experience they can find. Sam Power isn't a bad get for a VFL side. Richmond won't be able to offer much in terms of experience next year although if all goes well with our youth the likes of Jordie and Kingy will be playing mostly VFL next year. Hard to see the Burgers making the finals though.
Down Frankston way there's a rumour 40-year-old Simon Goosey will pull on the boots again so desperate they are for players. Could be the Dolphins last year in the VFL.

Nat goes with bro
19 Jan 10 @ 01:13pm by Jai Bednall
FORTUNATO Caruso has been following in his older brother Nat’s footsteps his entire footy career.
Through the junior grades at Fawkner in the Diamond Valley Football League, to the Calder Cannons in the TAC Cup and then to Coburg in the VFL.
But now it’s Fort leading the way.
After moving to West Adelaide last season, Fort, 21, has been joined at the Bloods by his 24-year-old brother for season 2010.
``I hadn’t really thought of it that way,’’ Fort said after Nat signed a two-year deal with West.
``But I’m sure it won’t take him long to adapt to the style of footy.’’
Nat, a hard inside midfielder, had considered moving to Richmond with Fort last year, but decided to stay at Coburg because he was in the running for the club’s captaincy.
``I ended up getting vice, which was still a great honour, but I guess it gave me a bit more freedom to make the move,’’ Nat said.
``If you’re captain of a club you can’t really leave.’’
Having moved in with Fort and newly-named Bloods vice-captain Ben Fisher, Nat said he was looking forward to resuming his partnership with his brother on the field.
``I always enjoy playing with my brother. You just know where each other is on the ground, it makes it a lot easier.
``I’m settling in well. I’ve been doing full training so hopefully I’ll be ready to rock and roll for round one.’’
Nat will also hook up again with Bloods coach Andy Collins, who he played under at Coburg.
``There’s a couple of other former Coburg boys - Jarrod Silvester and Travis Ronaldson - who have come over this year as well, which made my decision to come easier.
``Andy’s a really good coach, he just knows what he wants.’’

Practice match ...... (we might see a few newbie RFC Tigers running around)
Williamstown V Coburg
Date: Saturday 3rd April
Game Time:
Reserves 11:10am
Seniors 2pm
Venue: Whitten Oval

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/battling-bendigo-pinning-faith-in-cloke-skipworth-20100130-n5nm.html
In other player movements in the VFL, former North Melbourne and Western Bulldogs midfielder Sam Power has joined Coburg Tigers as a playing assistant coach.
The Tigers also confirmed that they were set to snare former North Melbourne hard-nut Daniel Harris before he was selected by the Gold Coast as a mature-age rookie with pick one in December's AFL rookie draft.
Power, the brother of Brisbane Lions triple premiership player Luke, takes over the helm of assistant coach from former Hawk Tim Clarke, who has signed as a development coach at Richmond this season.
New Coburg coach David Newitt said the addition of Power would be extremely beneficial to the team after the departures of Nat Caruso, Nick Liddle and Andrew Horne to the SANFL.
Newitt has been aggressive in the recruiting market particularly at his former club Glenorchy, whom he steered to a premiership in the Tassie league.
The Tigers also signed former Glenorchy captain Shane Puiselli.

From Inside Football ............. courtesy of 'HFF 07' on BF
Wednesday February 16, 2010
New Coburg Tigers coach David Newett admits to conflicting emotions about Sam Power being cut adrift at AFL level. Having got to know and like Power at North Melbourne, he was disapointed there was no third chance for him (despite talk Brisbane would draft him and allow him to play with his brother Luke). But Newett was happy he could bolster his Coburg list with the classy left-footer. Power is a playing assitant coach in charge of the midfield. "He's got great leadership qualities. He'll be a really good player for us - with 123 AFL games, that's pretty obvious - but he's also a good person to have around the club, a role model for our young guys", Newett said. " I thought he would have got another opportunity, to be honest. From Coburgs point of view, we were happy he didn't but on a personal level it would of been great for Sam". Newett tapped his Tasmania roots to sign Shane Piuselli whom he coached at Glenorchy. An "Inside" midifelder; Piuselli, 27, captained Glenorchy last year and also Tasmania in it's state game against Queensland. "He felt he was looking for a new challenge and he's really excited about coming over and trying himself at a higher standard of footy." Newett said, "like Sam Power he's of great character".
Justin Kahfeldt, who played against Piuselli in the state match in 2009, has also hooked up with Coburg. The 21-year old won Southports best and fairest last year and played in it's premiership team the previous season. The Tigers put a focus on recruiting Calder Cannons and brought in Brendon Fewster, Andy Duhau, James Lawton, Sam Ezard, Thomas Lucin, David Hahey, Jess Davies and Danny Bisetto. "We're stoked to be putting 8 of them through the VFL system," Newett said. Matthew Dennis, who played in a premiership under Brodie Holland at Maribynong Park in the Essendon league last year, is another addition to Coburg's squad.

Just split the Coburg info (much appreciated Coburg FC :cheers ) from the training thread to here so it doesn't get lost in other training discussion.
----------------------------------
Hamilton said that players not selected for the Challenge Cup game will play a practice match against a Richmond second-18 team at 2pm, Friday 26th February ay Highgate Reserve, Craigeburn (cnr Grand Blvd and Cleveland Drive - Mel 386 J3). Please Note: Fans are welcome to attend but there will be no public facilties at the oval (including no shade, seating or toilets).
"We would love to see a big crowd at both games," Hamilton said.
"The Challenge match against the Demons will naturally have plenty of interest but the practice game against Richmond's second-18 will also be a great chance for fans to get a good look at some of our young players of the future."
Friday's practice match at Craigeburn is free.

From BB poster Bargey who saw the game:
"Also for Richmond I don't know their list very well, but 99.9% sure these guys from the Richmond list played: Jordan McMahon, Shane Tuck, Jayden Post, Matt White, Andrew Browne, Dylan Grimes, Ben Griffiths (there probably were more)".
-
After their first two practice matches it looks like Coburg will be vying with Frankston for the VFL wooden spoon. The Burger players' skills are ordinary :-\. I also hope we don't have the same problem as last year with senior Richmond players who know their AFL career will be over at the end of this year not giving a stuff playing for the Burgers.
Shame to see Postie in the VFL side if that Bombers fan is correct. I would've thought we would give him a few practice games at CHB leading into round 1.
I think the Bombers fan has mixed up Griffiths with Westhoff. Griffiths was running laps last week so he's done bugger all full scale training.

-
Not sure how it's going to help our young forwards develop playing in such a weak VFL team that can only score 2-3 goals each week because the ball spends most its time in Coburg's defensive half and when it does come forward on a rare occasion it's a long bomb to no one :help. I also still don't see the point of dropping Post and Astbury back to Coburg after just one practice match. Sure the coaching staff wants to rotate everyone through the senior side but I would've thought you'd rotate out senior players who you already know what they can and can't do.
-
Astbury and Griffiths did not play.
Coburg supplied 8 players and only a handful of those will play Senior footy,so dont be too hard on us :-\
Jai Warren who coincidentally played 14 games at Bendigo last year was a fairly consisent player from H.F.he has blistering pace and may become a cult hero?
Sam Ezard played on and off the ground through the midfield as did Dave Sardo (Greenvale) and Rhett Jordon.
Hamish Dahl came in at the last minute with Vickery pulling out and worked well with Browne.
Levi Power from Shepparton and Dave Fahey and James Lawton from the Cannons will learn a lot playing today.
It will become evident after our practice matches where we are at,but to say we will be vying for the wooden spoon with frankston is a bit rich.!

You've answered your own question MT
At the moment it is all about rotations; wanting to give everyone a go before round 1.
that's what practice matches are for. Personally I am happy that the RFC is taking that approach. Don't care about practice matches all that matters is round 1 ;D
As for the Burgers I think Mr Coburg Footy Club is correct, far to early to be writing them off. Let's see how they go when they have their leaders out there like Carnell, Morriss, Rayson, Allen etc
It is common in these mid afternoon practice matches which are more for Richmond's benefit (giving the leftovers match practice time) than Coburgs and as such the Coburg contingent is made up of the kids who are still studying (at Uni) and are available.
-
Did vickery pull out due to injury or because he is playing tomorrow?
If playing tomorrow do you know who he is replacing?
-
I went and seen the first half of footy today and here is my brief view.
Positives:
Contin, this boy is a ball magnet and his disposal is very good. Playing in the centre he was clearly the best RFC/CFC player on the ground for the first half. I'm concerned about his fitness as he looks a little plump. However you can't knock his ball winning skills and endeavour.
Collins was good but he did it hard today because apart from Contin he had no help at all.
Negatives:
Unfortunately the majority were negatives.
White, Tuck and McMahon were shocking!
What concerned me today was the lack of effort/will/desire/care factor/pride from our young defenders in Post, Rance and Gourdis.

Okay I was harsh on the eight Burger boys given they were Coburg reserves filling in rather than Coburg seniors and not harsh enough on the senior RFC players who are meant to be AFL standard :help and carry the workload and put up some sort of resistance.
Having said that Coburg has lost a heap of experience in the past two years which formed the backbone of the side. The Burgers (with RFC players) are virtually unrecognisable from the side 2/2.5 years ago that made the VFL GF and back-to-back finals campaigns. Although it's not what I want to happen it will be a major surprise to see Coburg finish higher than the bottom 3 this year (same for Richmond in the AFL). Both Richmond and Coburg lack depth, size and experience in their respective comps. It's unfortunate that both clubs are rebuilding via youth at the same time when ideally for Richmond's benefit you'd want Coburg to have a decent VFL senior core to give them some solid team structure for Richmond's youngsters to develop under before moving up to the AFL side.

Is this one of the most pointless stories ever written in a major daily paper? ???
Nowhere to go
By Chris de Kretser and Daryl Timms
SAT 27 FEB 2010, Page 78
A FEW fans might have been peeved when they went to Richmond's reserves practice match against Essendon at Highgate Reserve in Craigieburn yesterday.
Both clubs warned fans on their websites that they were welcome to attend, but there would be no public facilities at the oval, including shade, seating or toilets.
That's right, there wasn't even a tree to hide behind.
-
Dunno about that OE. The standards of journalism being set recently may see these guys get a Walkley nomination for this.
In all seriousness, it took two people to write that?? ::)

According to the Carlton forums the Bullants should have had the game wrapped up by early in the third quarter but kicked poorly for goal. Coburg then rallied to get within a kick at 3/4 time. Bullants kicked away in the last quarter. The Bullants had 15 Carlton-listed players. Apart from Tuck I'm not sure who played for Coburg from Richmond.
"Tempers flared at times in the heat, and players from both sides were completely knackered at the end. Each team was running out of players to rotate off the bench so everyone agreed to a shortened last term."
"One player for Coburg I watched with interest today was Shane Tuck. He's very good at the stoppages and winning the contested ball. Is clearly out of favour at Richmond. I suppose he's the same type of player as Hadley (not a great kick and not a lot of handball receives). But when we went for Brock last October, I wondered at the time if we might have been better off hanging on to pick #11 and giving up a late draft pick for Tuck instead? I guess time will tell..."

Just a further update on yesterday's game.
While I wont comment on RFC players,we had Rance,McMahon,Contin,Graham,Webberley,Post,King,Dea and White.
Hicks,Westhoff,O'Reilly and Grimes played Reserves.
As far as Coburg players go,there were impressive efforts from Sam Power,Just Kahlefeldt in the midfield, and James Lawton and Luke geister up forward.Both hit the packs hard but we lacked crumbers to capitalise on them bringing the ball to the ground.
Jason Morgan was solid up back as usual.
We played catch up footy most of the day,but got to within a goal at the final break.
There was a fair bit of cramping in the final quater and we struggled to have any impact in the last quarter.
Jono Morris plyed only 4 mins and that affected our balance in defence,but overall it was a pleasing hit out.
The reserves had a comfortable win and most of the Calder Cannons boys were good as was ex West Coburg player Abdi Fitaax.
We play Collingwood on Friday night at 5pm at Gosch's.This will mainly be CFC players partaking but RFC may choose to play certain players if they feel specific players need a run
-
obviously the Richmond players didnt perform well ?????
-
While I wont comment on RFC players,we had Rance,McMahon,Contin,Graham,Webberley,Post,King,Dea and White.
Hicks,Westhoff,O'Reilly and Grimes played Reserves.
Cheers for the report CFC.
Is the list of best players the actual best or only the best Coburg-only guys? Not great news for Richmond if not one RFC player made the bests :-\. I was hoping Postie, Contin and Dea had good games to push for RFC selection.
-
I heard 2nd hand that Contin sat on the bench for most of the game ???
I can only guess that it was a hit out for the Burger boys instead of RFC
-
Jack...it is not that any RFC players were good or bad,it is just that I have to be careful about what is put on here as they are our aligned partners and all we are trying to do is keep you advised of things that Coburg are involved with.
I have no problem advising you of the best players,but no comments will be made as to any "bad" performances by individual players.
If however you want to know what RFC players were ok,Tuck,White and Webberley were probably the best.
Contin played 65 mins out of out a possible 110 mins,so he should have played around 85 mins.

Pretty sure it's something to do with the player's Conditions of Employment WAT. The clubs must request leave of the AFL to play someone and they must have a valid reason to do so - interrupted pre-season due to injury being the most common. I might be wrong but I think that's what the go is.

According to the Pies BF board Coburg were down by 8 goals at 3/4 time :-\

Practice Match Vs Collingwood 19/3
Coburg 3.2.20 5.2.32 9.3.57 11.4.70
Collingwood 5.2.32 11.4.70 17.7.109 19.8.122
Goals: Tom Lucin 4, Nick Westhoff 2, James Lawton 2, Matt Dennis, James Saville, Nic Cattapan
After kicking the first goal within the first 2 mins,the rest of the day was playing catch up football.
With this being only our second serious hit out for the year there still is a little more work to do on the track.
Some really good signs from young Calder Cannons player Tom Lucin who is quickly showing that he will be a good contributor to us this year.
Shane Piuselli also looks like he is settling well after coming from Tassie and his in and under play was good today.
Other good players were Matt Smith, Nick Carnell, Hamish Dahl and Adam Meroli.
Next Saturday the 27th March we play 2 games down at Frankston starting at 11.00am.

He shouldnt be playing there either, he is a gun, waste of time playing them in the 2,s at Coburg
-
Astbury, Griffiths and Collins trained with the main squad at training on Wednesday and then stayed behind to work with the rehab trainer for half an hour. We know Astbury (heel) and Griffiths (shoulder) after coming back from injury. Not sure about Collo but he may have picked up and injury in the past month (?). For all we know we could be just giving them a go in the Coburg ressies just to let them run around for 4 quarters to slowly build up their match fitness at much lower level. If Collo is still in the VFL ressies in a couple of weeks then we should be concerned as by then he should be near enough injury-free you would presume.
Interesting to see how we go against Frankston who have lost a host of players over the off-season. They would be favourites for the spoon. So with 14 RFC guys Coburg should have the stronger line-up even if it's just a practice match.
Btw does anyone know why the VFL season starts so much later than the AFL season when AFL clubs will want their remaining listed players playing competitive games for their affiliates?

Definately the right decision as he struggled a bit even in the 2s..In the seniors he would have really struggled..

Thanx for the scores guys :thumbsup
At least SOME Tigers won this weekend.

Granted it was only a practice match against Frankston but at least it's pleasing to see talls in our bests especially Postie.
Thanks to bg25 for the scores :cheers. She also said Dea was okay and Taylor was quiet.

webberley BOG, Angus & the ranga both very good, Post hurt his shoulder trying to take mark of the year but was very good,Polak quiet,Taylor 1 kick,Dea & Goo very good in backline,Tuck & White went into midfield in second half & that was the move that turned us around, White reported in frst qtr, good to see Dimma & Lade instructing guys at the breaks, Lepa & WC also there

The people of Frankston upheld their standing in society yesterday with another polished performance, what a bunch of FERALS.
The seniors was a very rough game with lots of fighting.
Matt Dennis was great with 5 goals and Tuck smashed them out of the middle in the second half.

That loud moron up the back behind the interchange gate needed a gag and/or some decent material. Apparently a bloke was at Polly about being hit by trams. >:(
Matt Dennis - is he the one who played for Hawthorn in 1998-99?
I thought he looked younger than 31yo, if it is.
If it's another Matt Dennis do you know how old he is? He has some talent.
Thanks. :)

Matty Dennis played at Maribyrnong Park last year.
He is not the same who played at Hawthorn.

Graham Polak was one of four key Richmond players to get through unscathed in the Coburg Tigers' win over Frankston.
Shane Tuck, Matt White and Jake King also impressed Coburg coach David Newitt.
"I was very happy with Shane Tuck in the second half. Tuck, Matthew White and Jake King stood up in the second half and showed great leadership and used the footy really well," Newitt said.

Very happy to see Browne and Webberley doing well. I said Browne was already better than Graham 12 months ago and I still believe that, while I'm tipping Webberley to do very well in the seniors when (not if) he gets his chance.

Good to hear about Polak playing well
7 Scoring shots even though it was 2.5
good luck to him
-
I got to the gameabout 1/2 way through the 2nd term of the ressies, and stayed until the bitter end.
As has been noted, there was no scoreboard so it's impossible to report actual scores. But the reserves, which included Richmond-listed players: O'Reilly, Hicks, Grimes, Contin and Westhoff, lost a pretty even game by a margin of about 3-4 goals. Grimes in particular really caught my eye. He was in everything across the half back line.Once he fills out a bit he looks like he'll be a big key defender for us. Hicks is a smart little crummer too, who featured in several goals either directly or indirectly.
I wish I could be as encouraged by what I saw in the seniors. But the truth is, after quarter time, when we were about 5 goals to 3 down, we were absolutely smashed. The golkickers to that stage were Polak, Rance and White.
I think the final blowout must have been by at least 10 goals, and more likely 12 or more. It certainly felt that lopsided. To be honest, I was so fed up by that stage that my attention was wandering, and my mate and I were getting side-tracked with conversation.
Polak did more than he seemed to by last week's reports. He took a few marks, kicked a couple of goals, and missed a few shots too, but overall seemed more involved.
Rance looked good at times. His attack on the ball in the air, and at ground level was good, and he covered a lot of territory across the forward line. He still has the odd brain fade though. Like playing on one time after a mark and getting collared, when he should have gone back and had a kick. I think he lacks awareness at times.
White got a lot of the ball,but typically butchered it on many occasions. These included a missed running shot on goal from close range that he should have nailed, to subjecting a teammate to the old hospital pass.
I hardly sighted Tuck.
McMahon was quiet, and on one occasion got into a bit of biffo with probably one of his old teammates, which raised the ire of the crowd.
Astbury didn't stand out, but like a lot of our forwards was starved of opportunity.
He finished the day with his injured heel in a bucket of ice water. I hope it was just precautionary.
In the last term Collins had a set shot on goal,kicked off the side of his boot into the man on the mark and was dragged. He came back on soon after and had the chance to redeem himself, but fluffed that kick too. I don't know what's happened to him lately. His kicking used to be a feature of his game.
Webberley's game was one of the few highlights for me. He looks to be a pretty hard worker out there who keeps battling away when the odds are against us.
Finally, for future reference there is a toilet out there. It's at the end of a long corridor in the new administration building. So you wont have to spend the next day out there crossing your legs. ;D
-
Outstanding as l said most of our Richmond players are not up to AFL standard
They cant even play VFL lol
Did McMahon play for Coburg
McMahon did play, was hopeless
-
Great report RR :clapping just one thing mate I totally disagree on your observation on young Astbury. You would be well aware that Astbury was coming back from injury and yeah he did play in the seconds last week but you need to consider his game time versus his output. His attack & speed on the ball was very classy, at one stage in the third came all the way down to HB to contest and perservered with a second & third effort to win the free. He just knows where to get into position. Just imagine what he would have done if the lacklustre Coburg midfield could of delivered more ball to his chest. I have no hesitation as naming him as one of our better listed players amongst, Webberly, Rance & Dea.

Straight from the Coburg website. Quick update I must say.
Practice Match Vs. Williamstown 3rd April
Seniors:
Coburg:
3.1.19 3.3.21 5.9.39 6.13.49
Williamstown:
6.4.40 13.14.92 15.17.107 19.19.133
Goals:
Matt White, Shane Piuselli, Alex Rance, Andrew Collins, Matt Dennis
Graham Polak
Best:
Sam Power 23 possessions / 9 marks
Matt White 24 possessions / 6 inside 50’s
Shane Tuck 23 possessions / 7 marks / 4 inside 50’s
Justin Kahlefeldt and Damien Rayson 21 possessions.
Again another slow start as we did against Frankston last week.We lost Jason Morgan in the first 10 mins of the game with concussion and that unbalanced the backline somewhat.
Second half was a little better and if not for a little inaccuracy we could have been closer.
Reserves
Coburg:
0.2.2 0.5.5 2.6.18 6.9.45
Williamstown:
4.4.28 6.6.42 8.7.55 12.8.80
Goals:
Patrick .Ambrose 2, Adam Meroli, Nick Westhoff, Robert Hicks, Luke Geister
Best:
Nic Cattapan 27 possessions
Pat Contin 23 possessions
David Fahey 20 possessions
David Sardo 19 possessions
Similar to the seniors,the reserves started slow and but rallied in the 2nd half to outscore Williamstown.Signs still look good for the future,and we hope to open the season with 2 wins next week.
-
contin continues to go well. deserves to get promoted probably with gourdis, dont know why polak got promoted :help
-
What I don't understand is we promoted Polak and he hasn't played yet.
Would have been better off promoting Contin or Gourdis.
These kids have shown enough for us to have taken a punt on.
Would like to see Polak get a game whilst Griffiths is still out injured.

Yeah, fair enough 3121 ( hey,that's my postcode too), I may have been a bit dismissive of Astbury's game. I didn't really notice him all that much to be honest, but as I said, my attention was starting to drift in the hot sun as the increasingly one-sided match drifted on.
I am aware that Astbury's coming back from injury though, and did acknowledge that he was probably starved of opportunity a fair bit as there was a lot of one-way traffic.
-
contin continues to go well. deserves to get promoted probably with gourdis, dont know why polak got promoted :help
He's preogressing at a steady pace Ramps there's no hurry just yet IMO. Contin needs to beef up as he easily is pushed off the contest, he is one player with another preseason under his belt who may emerge. Has the potential if he works bloody hard at it.
In regards to Gourdis & Polak I think time will tell whether the brains tryst at the club have made the right decision.

A snippet from today's Age
Richmond's Graham Polak struggled to get into the play for the Coburg Tigers at full-forward.
Polak kicked a late goal in the final term, but Coburg coach David Newitt blamed his poor form on a lack of supply..
Shane Tuck was impressive in a defensive role, while young forward David Astbury suffered an ankle injury.

I thought Polak kicked a goal at the Dynon Rd. end in the first quarter. I was a long way away, deep on the opposite wing though. Perhaps it was Matthew Dennis.

Would you say Contin has earned a spot at Coburg seniors?

Would you say Contin has earned a spot at Coburg seniors?
IMO Danog not just yet because at the moment there are the Coburg boys (midfielders) who deserve to be there before him at this point in time. I don't have a crystal ball to say the kid is going to make but he has the goods to take him to the next level. We must remember he is a rookie, we'll need to track his performance over the next 12 to 18 months to see where he is at, but he may get a gig in the Coburg seniors between then.

Coach David Newett Live Tonight On SEN
SEN are once again running their VFL show commencing Tonight Mark Fine and Mark Stone will have new Coburg Coach David Newett in the studio and will be seaking to the Gold Coast coach - Guy McKenna. Also featured tonight is Liston Trophy medalist from 1962..ex Collingwood and Sandringham champion Keith Burns.
http://www.sen.com.au/home

Newett .....
* 23 Coburg players turned over; 14 at Richmond
* First home game at Craigieburn in round 3.
* Development vs Coburg coach. How do you combine the two?
Sat down with Hardwick and they want a successful Coburg side. Have players earning their spot and Richmond players reaching their potential.
* Sam Power has replaced Tim Clarke's role as on ground 'coach' to help pass on what it takes to prepare to play AFL.
* Nick Carnell is captain. Understands the balance between Richmond players coming back and Coburg players at times waiting their turn.
* 7 Calder Cannon guys have come on board.
* Griffiths will play in the ressies. Astbury will play as well (I think seniors). The sooner we fast-track these two in the Richmond side the better.
* Stresses to Calder guys who missed out on the draft that there's a stronger pathway via the VFL to the AFL with the new AFL teams coming in.
-
a little bit more from Newett....
* McMahon - injured this weekend. Good runner and an exquisite kick :o. Played very well down at Frankston two weeks ago. We'll give him every opportunity to work his way into the Richmond side.
* Taylor and Dea both playing this weekend for the Coburg seniors. Dea has been very solid over the preseason running off HB.
* Webberley - attacking defender and kicks the ball well which is why he was drafted (Newett played against Webbs down in Tassie when Webbs was 16).
-
Thanks for the reports OE, so really by about rounds 6-8 we should really know who wants to put their hand up, McMahon included.
-
* 23 Coburg players turned over; 14 at Richmond

PAUL AMY'S VFL STABS
Inside Football
THE Coburg Tigers are in talks with Moreland Council about finally having their grandstand rebuilt, more than six years after it was extensively damaged by a fire at the City Oval.
Tigers GM Lee Fraser said he was hopeful there would be developments in the next few weeks.
Coburg’s push to have the grandstand reinstated comes amid continuing speculation about the future of the City Oval.
The prospect of it making way for a town park and apartments has been raised in the $1 billion Coburg Initiative (local resident Peter Robertson has set up a “Save Coburg City Oval” group on Facebook).
Fraser said the council’s willingness to work through the grandstand issue showed it was committed to keeping the ground.

COBURG TIGERS: Ronaldson back
Former captain Travis Ronaldson has returned to the club after a short stint at SANFL club West Adelaide. The 26-year-old returned to Coburg mid-season because of his university studies in Melbourne but has signed until the end of next season.
Tigers coach David Newett said he was delighted to see the return of the talented ruckman as he pushes for selection in the next fortnight.
The season is on the line for both Coburg and Werribee today at Chirnside Park.
''We're certainly fortunate to have guys like Dean Polo and Mitch Morton and Graham Polak, who's been fantastic … if we can get a win that'd be great,'' Newett said.
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/zebras-ace-struggling-for-form-20100625-z9p4.html
Coburg Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of former Captain Travis Ronaldson for the remainder of the 2010 and also the 2011 season.
Ronaldson captained the club in 2006 and 2007 and since then has been playing local football and at the start of this season signed up with West Adelaide in the SANFL ,but had to return to Melbourne to continue his university studies. Travis is expected to start playing senior football in the coming weeks once he has regained full fitness.”

COBURG TIGERS - Midterm report
VFL Record
Position: Eleventh
Win/Loss: 3-7
Percentage: 89
Goal kickers: Roberts (11), Morton (10)
Season so far:
Two narrow losses to North Ballarat and Frankston set the scene for what has been a frustrating and largely disappointing season. Coburg Tigers have managed just three wins – and only its 15-point triumph against Bendigo Bombers – was against a club in the eight. Coburg Tigers boast the worst record of any club in close matches – they’re 2-5 in matches decided by 15-points or less.
Swing the ledger the other way or even with a slight win advantage and Coburg Tigers would find themselves inside the eight instead of staring at it forlornly from a long way away. It’s hard to gain a grip on why Coburg Tigers haven’t been able to convert more of those close games or in fact why they’ve found themselves in such a position given the steady stream of experienced Richmond players who have found themselves at the VFL level. Certainly, Coburg Tigers inability to kick consistently big scores is illustrated by the fact that Richmond’s Relton Roberts is Coburg’s leading goal kicker with just 11 goals. It ties Coburg Tigers with a league-worse with Gold Coast who’ve also found goals at a premium.
Prospects:
Certainly, the addition of former captain and ruckman Travis Ronaldson will be welcomed, but Coburg Tigers poor start has left it with a herculean task to climb into the eight. Coburg Tigers would need to win a minimum of six of its remaining eight games and hope that most of those wins were by a considerable margin to boost its meagre percentage. The good news is that the VFL Tigers still have five more home matches and two of those are at Craigieburn where they’re undefeated in two matches. What is not so appealing is that Coburg Tigers must play Williamstown, North Ballarat, Collingwood and Port Melbourne in the run home.

QUARTER BY QUARTER - COBURG TIGERS
WHILE it has won only one quarter – the second, Coburg Tigers have just about broken even overall.
Coburg Tigers is 29-31, a reasonable performance given its lowly ladder standing.
The VFL Tigers have started slowly, winning just six of its 15 opening quarter and that’s despite averaging more than three goals a quarter.
The problem has been that Coburg Tigers have been outscored in every quarter except the second, where they boast 9-6 record.
Five times Coburg Tigers have been held goal less and its season high goal splurge is eight during the third quarter against Gold Coast.
Significantly, Coburg Tigers have been kept to two goals or less 24 times.
Defensively, the club has been okay. Three times they’ve held rivals goal less and restricted them to two goals or less a further 16 times.
One of Coburg Tigers problems has been stopping clubs gaining a run on. Williamstown demolished them with a competition high 11 goals during the third quarter of its Round 6 match.
But, they’ve also surrendered five goals or more a further 15 times.

PAUL AMY'S VFL STABS
Inside Football
THE Coburg Tigers have signed a seven-year lease to stay at the City Oval. The future of the ground appeared under threat after the release of the Coburg Initiative development last year. It raised the prospect of the City Oval making way for apartments. But Moreland Council has now declared it will stay a sporting precinct and the home of the Coburg football and cricket clubs and the TAC Cup’s Calder Cannons. It has also committed money to refurbishing the offices damaged in the fire that swept through the historic grandstand in 2004. Since the fire the Tigers and the Cannons have worked out of the council offices. Coburg Tigers general manager Lee Fraser said it was a relief to sign the lease and gain some security at the City Oval. He said the club had always been committed to staying at its traditional home. “But there’s been a big cloud hanging over us for a number of years,” he said. “We’ve lobbied hard to get things done but in the end I think the Moreland community realised what a great asset they had and they didn’t want it to go. The council has been fantastic in the past six months.” Moreland Council had set aside $135,000 from its 2010/11 capital works budget towards reinstating the offices. AFL Victoria and the State Government will also contribute. There are also moves afoot to gain funding for a masterplan which would include replacing seating in the grandstand, a scoreboard, coaches boxes and improvements to the function room. “We’d love to see the City Oval returned to its former glory,” Fraser said. He confirmed the club had also approached the Victorian Women’s Football League about relocating to Coburg.
THE Tigers have re-signed most of their senior brigade for next year, inking deals with captain Nick Carnell, former skipper Travis Ronaldson, Justin Kalhefeldt, Damian Rayson and Ben Clifton, as well as emerging pair Andy Duhau and James Lawton. Lawton has received a late invitation to the state screenings.

From Paul Amy's column in this week's Inside Football....
A FILIP for the Coburg Tigers, with Sam Power signing on for a second year as assistant and midfield coach.
The classy former Bulldog and Kangaroo agreed to terms with the club last Tuesday. His position will also embrace a liaison role between Coburg and its TAC Cup partner Calder.
“It will mainly be about working with the top-age boys and helping them make that transition from Under 18s to first-year Coburg Tigers players,” Coburg GM Lee Fraser said. He said Power, named on a wing in the VFL team of the year, had been a fine role model.
“He’s an elite endurance runner and his work rate is first-class and he leads by example. The younger guys can see what it takes to reach the highest level.”
Power is combining football with the final year of his law studies.
Skipper Nick Carnell, former captain Travis Ronaldson, Ben Clifton, Justin Kahlefeldt, Damien Rayson, Matt Smith, Jake Collins, Jye Warren, Luke Geister, James Lawton, Andrew Duhau, Brendan Fewster, David Fahey and Tom Lucin have all re-signed.
--------------------------------------------------
THE Coburg Tigers are conducting a “rookie” screening day on Wednesday, October 27 at Highgate Recreation Reserve in Craigieburn.
The idea is to identify potential players before pre-season training.

Sam Power Takes Out Jim Sullivan Trophy for 2010
Coburg website
04/10/2010
Star midfielder Sam Power capped off a fantastic first season with Coburg by taking out the coveted Jim Sullivan trophy in front of over 200 people at the San Remo Ball Room on Friday night. Playing Assistant Coach Power has had a fantastic season averaging 30 possessions a game and providing great drive through the midfield. Sam has also provided fantastic leadership throughout the season and is looking forward to fulfilling the role of playing assistant coach again in 2011.

So who out of these names is worth the senior club looking at?

It may sound harsh but I hope no one from Coburg IMO. I just don't see anyone there as potentially AFL standard. Having said that Lawton could attract interest as a rookie as a young tall forward.

Yes to rookie list for Lawton. Might even be worth a very late pick in the ND depending on what's still available and how many positions we need to fill.

True Oiafi. It'll all depend on knowing how many other clubs are interested in Lawton and if there are any when they are likely to draft him. Last year we took Dea earlier at pick 44 instead of 51 because we heard Brisbane were planning to draft him at 47.

Adam Potter Appointed Coburg Senior Coach for 2011 & 2012
Following an internal review of the Richmond coaching structure, David Newett will be moving into a full time development / assistant coach with Richmond for the 2011 season. An impact of this restructure is that David Newett will not be coaching the Coburg Football Club in 2011. On behalf of Coburg I would like to wish David all the best in his new role and look forward to having him involved with the club over the course of next season
The Coburg Football Club has undertaken a targeted recruiting process which has resulted in Adam Potter
Adam has impressed the club with his enthusiasm throughout the interview process and is greatly looking forward to his return to the Burgers. Adam has a proven ability to meet specific criteria for coaching a senior VFL team including being appointed as the senior coach for 2011 and 2012 seasons.
Potter has developed a strong coaching CV over recent seasons including assistant coaching roles at Coburg Football Club under Andy Collins ( leading the reserves to the 2007 premiership), Jade Rawlings & Craig McCrae. In 2010 Adam took on the reserves & development coaching role at the Williamstown Football Club which included a Grand Final appearance for the reserves and a leading involvement in the player development program.

Potter returns to the Coburg Tigers
by Patrick O'Meara
12 Oct 10
VICTORIAN Football League club Coburg Tigers have appointed Adam Potter as senior coach for the next two years.
Potter replaces David Newett, who stood down to take up an assistant coaching role concentrating on development with the Tigers’ alignment club Richmond.
Potter served as an assistant at Coburg under Andy Collins, Jade Rawlings and Craig MacRae, and coached the reserves to the 2007 premiership.
He spent last year at Williamstown, leading its reserves team into a grand final.
Tigers general manager Lee Fraser said the club went after Potter immediately after Newett decided to move full-time into AFL ranks.
He said Potter had been a standout candidate for the coaching job last year.
“Adam has impressed the club with his enthusiasm throughout the interview process and is greatly looking forward to his return to the Burgers,’’ Fraser said.
“Adam has a proven ability to meet specific criteria for coaching a senior VFL team.’‘
Coburg finished 11th on the VFL ladder this year with five wins.

More a Richmond question than a Coburg one but was there anything more to this internal review? Any of the assistant coaches changing roles or was it simply Newett joining Tim Clarke as now a second full-time development coach?

Alliance with Richmond vital for Tigers' success, says coach
Moreland Leader
19 Oct 10 by PATRICK O'MEARA
INCOMING Coburg coach Adam Potter believes combining the forces of the Tigers and AFL-affiliate Richmond is the key to success.
Potter was appointed coach of the Victorian Football League club last week after 2010 mentor David Newett was given an assistant coaching role at Richmond.
Newett was upgraded to the full-time position with the AFL Tigers after a review of their football department.
Potter was the prime candidate for the Tigers when they learned Newett would be taking an expanded role with Richmond.
Potter had served as an assistant coach under Andy Collins and Jade Rawlings, and coached the reserves to the 2007 premiership.
He moved to Williamstown this year, leading its reserves team to the minor premiership and a grand final appearance.
Potter said being a part-time coach, while teaching full-time, would be a challenge but he believed the main challenge would be to ensure the success of the Coburg-Richmond alliance.
“I will be looking to set up a structure where other coaches will be able to play major roles to ensure we are developing the young players, not only at Coburg but also from Richmond,” Potter said.
He said he believed with support from general manager Lee Fraser and football manager Craig Byron coupled with his experience with clubs with AFL alignments it would be possible.
“From the last five years I have an understanding of the alignments and how to make them work,” he said.
Potter has also been an assistant coach at the Western Jets and had his playing career cut short by a serious knee injury when he was 23.
The Ascot Vale based PE teacher had played in the Essendon District Football League, and from his teaching background held a natural desire to get into coaching.
He will shift his focus to monitoring talent at Coburg’s Rookie Day, where local footballers and Calder Cannons have the opportunity to try out for a place in the Tigers pre-season squad. The session will be held at Highgate Recreation Reserve, Craigieburn on October 27.

Adam Potter Q & A
coburgtigers.com.au
1. Adam is what does it feel like to be back at Coburg and what lured you back?
The opportunity to coach the Coburg football club is something I am very excited about, I also feel very honoured to be given the opportunity to lead the club over the next two years. I am really looking forward to the pre season and all the planning leading up to the season to ensure we have a successful alignment with Richmond and a strong culture at Coburg. I am looking to set up a structure where we develop players from both the Richmond and Coburg list which leads to on field success.
3.What changes will you make both on and off field?
Being part time I am looking to set up a strong football department. It is important we have a structure in place that will lead to improvement on the 2010 season and facilitate opportunities for individuals to achieve within a team environment. On field we have already signed 14 players from this year and we are in the process of interviewing several young players who we think can have an impact in the development squad and at senior level. We will have clear expectations for players from both Coburg and Richmond which will assist in developing the Coburg football club moving forward.
4. How will it feel coaching inspirational leader Nick Carnell?
I am looking forward to working with Nick. He has become a quality VFL player and leads the club with great passion. Nick is due to play his 100th game this year, which highlights the commitment he has shown to Coburg. I know the young players at the club look up to Nick and he leads by example on and off the field
6. Being a Part time coach, what is your full time employment away from Football ?
I am a Leading Teacher at Williamstown High School and work on a middle years campus overseeing student engagement and wellbeing. I teach in the areas of Physical Education and Sport Education. Coburg are very supportive and understanding of my full time work and Williamstown High School are also very supportive of my coaching. I will be looking to spend some time down at Richmond over the summer break and during school holidays to get to know some of the new Richmond players who have come to the club over the last 18 months.

Coburg Tigers website
Under the guidance of new Coach Adam Potter the Coburg Football Club commenced preparations for the 2011 season with their first training run at Highgate Recreation Reserve in Craigieburn. Over 70 players completed a series of gruelling time trials and skills work with a number of players standing out including Captain Nick Carnell, reigning Best & Fairest Sam Power, Justin Kahldefeldt, Damien Rayson & Ben Clifton together with recruits Luke Cartelli (Williamstown), Michael Tanner (Williamstown), Jayke Barrack (Bendigo Pioneers) and returning former Captain Travis Ronaldson.
The group also included over 10 players from the premiership winning Calder Cannons squad of 2010 together and a number of locals from the Essendon District Football League who are trialling for a spot on the list.... The Squad will continue training at Highgate Recreation Reserve, Punt Road Oval & the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre over the course of the next 7 weeks leading into a short break over the Christmas period.
Coburg will commence it’s pre-season campaign against the Bendigo Bombers on Saturday 5th March at Highgate Recreation Reserve.

I would expect for the 2011 season
Tuck. Newman. Moore. King. Foley. Jackson. Morton. Graham. Deledio. Grigg. Connors. Edwards. Riewoldt. Farmer. Gourdis. Cotchin. Astbury. Martin. Taylor. Griffiths. Will play for Richmond at the start of the year. Maybe conca and derickx too.
How do you the coburg side will look? Should they come top four, push for flag? Can you bet on vfl games?
-
Grimes. Thursfeild. Mcgaune.
Batcholer. Rance. ORielly
Webberly. Contin. Nason.
Houli. Post. White.
McDonald. Vickery. Hicks.
Browne. Dea. Helbig.
Nahas. Miller. Westhoff. Hislop(?)/rookie
def: thursfield looks to be starting full back. Mcgaune needs to be picked ahead of gourdis, astbury, Moore to be in senior team. Rance is another who will make life hard for him. Oreilly and grimes Both for mine in best 22 but might start in ressies. Batcholar best player in best tac cup team so he should have big year coburg HBF
browne looks like he is good enough for this level. Any of browne/derickx/Graham should be trying develop if they find them self at this level. Vickery hoofully plays 60% of games forward line.
Contin is a solid player and looks fit. Helbig 85kg, 185. Dea maybe playing as a tagger, hard to fit him into backline. 3 big bodies.
White, houli, nason. Hicks. All goal kicking mids at vfl lvel
-
Vickery will play every game for Richmond seniors this season unless he in injured.
-
In the forward line?
Is so griffiths & vickery could be hard to
match up on. Both ruckman size with the #1 defender going to riewoldt.
I would assume Graham & derickx willplay r1 to try and contain hampson and warnock

Coburg Tigers List Update
The list is really starting to take Shape down at Coburg. Football Manager Craig Byron has signed several listed players from 2010 for the upcoming 2011 season. 22 players in all have re committed to the club for 2011 including Captain Nick Carnell, best and fairest winner Sam Power, Justin Kahlefedlt, Ben Clifton, Damien Rayson, Jon Morris, Murphy Ambrose, Rhett Jordan, Christian Mcerlain, Hamish Dahl, Travis Ronaldson, Jake Collins, Luke Geister, Tom Groves, Jye Warren and Matt Smith.
The following players who were also recruited to the club out of the TAC Cup move into their second year with the club and will benefit from the development they had in 2010 and we will hopefully see some of the following players playing regular senior footy in 2010. James Lawton has re committed to the club after just missing out on a Rookie selection in 2010, we are looking for him to add to the 12 senior games he played in 2011. Tom Lucin, Brendan Fewster and Andy Duhau have benefited from a pre season opportunity with Richmond and will all be looking to add to their senior games tally in 2011. David Fahey and Daniel Bisetto are two developing tall’s who are also moving into their second year with the club.
Coburg has been very busy in the off season recruiting some very talented Players out of the TAC cup competition. New coach Adam Potter highlighted the need to recruit young players out of this competition who we think can follow in the footsteps of young Ben Jakobi who was recently picked up by Richmond with their first rookie selection.
In all we have signed 9 players out of the TAC Cup for 2011 and we have another 2 or 3 players still currently training for an opportunity to join the list in 2011.
The following players have joined the club for the 2011 season:
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143557_1_M.jpg)
Willie Wheeler – Murray Bushrangers (22 Tac Cup games)
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143545_1_M.jpg)
Glenn Grgic – Northern Knights (37 Tac Cup games 1 VFL Game)
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143548_1_M.jpg)
Jayke Barrack – Bendigo Pioneers (14 Tac Cup games)
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/39/1143925_1_M.jpg)
Leigh Masters – Bendigo Pioneers (16 Tac Cup games)
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143553_1_M.jpg)
Luke Madden – Calder Cannons (30 Tac Cup games)
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143543_1_M.jpg)
Alex McLeod – Calder Cannons (29 Tac Cup games)
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143544_1_M.jpg)
Dylan Murphy – Calder Cannons (18 Tac Cup games 2 VFL Games)
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143549_1_M.jpg)
Kane Murphy – Calder Cannons
Tom Sullivan – Calder Cannons (11 Tac Cup games)
New Coach Adam Potter is excited about our new batch of young players out of this competition.
“ I think the initiative to allow players out of the TAC cup completion to play as the 23rd player gives these young players some excellent opportunities. I am very excited about our new batch of young players and expect some of them to step straight in and play under this rule and hopefully also earn opportunities in their own right. Our players out of the TAC cup this year combined for over 20 games and looking at the way this new group are going about the pre season I think this statistic will continue in 2011.”
Willie Wheeler is a highly skilled player who has a fantastic work rate, Glenn Grgic is very quick with a high level of endurance and also uses the ball extremely well. Jayke Barrack has been training at a high intensity and also thrived on the opportunity he had to train at Richmond.He will be joined by former team mate Leigh Masters who is re locating to Melbourne to play with Coburg. Our Cannons contingent includes 4 premiership players and Kane Murphy who is coming back strongly from a broken leg in 2010. Alex McLeod is recovering from an ankle injury and should be back training in January. Luke Madden and the Murphy boys have been training very well.
The club is also pleased to announce the following players have committed to the club for the 2011 season:
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143547_1_M.jpg)
Jamason Daniels
Jameson joins Coburg after two seasons on the Western Bulldogs rookie list. Jameson played 9 senior games for Williamstown this year and at the age of 20 will continue to develop his game at Coburg in 2011. He is a powerful midfield type who uses the ball well, he has a high level of endurance and tested very well in our 20m sprint test.
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143550_1_M.jpg)
Luke Cartelli
Luke joins us after spending 3 years on the Williamstown list. Luke won the reserve B & F in 2008 and was runner up in 2010. He played around 10 senior games during his time at Williamstown but found with the likes of Johnson, Jolley and Davies his senior opportunities were limited. He is leading the way this pre season with his endurance. We are looking for Luke to play some good senior footy in 2011.He can run through the midfield and also reads the play very well in the forward half of the ground.
(http://www-static.sportingpulse.com/pics/00/01/14/35/1143556_1_M.jpg)
Michael Tanner
Michael joins Coburg after 4 years with Williamstown, Michael had a breakout season in 2010 which included 7 goals in the reserves Grand Final in 2010. Michael won the 2010 reserves B & F award and has been a fantastic leader in his time in the VFL. Michael can play at either end of the ground as a key forward or defender.
Nick Lynch
Nick rejoins Coburg after a two year absence where he was back playing with his local club Macleod in the NFL. Nick played as a marking type forward who kicked over 50 goals in both years back at Macleod. He reads the play very well as a forward and has experienced senior VFL football with the club back in 2008. He has come back very fit and the signs are promising for 2011.
-------------------------
There are several players who are also training with the club in anticipation of gaining a contract in 2011. Potter had the following to say about our pre season thus far
“ I have been very impressed with the group we have training, to have signed 35 players at this time of the year is an excellent result, we targeted certain players and to have 9 players out of the TAC cup competition is a great result. Football Manager Craig Byron has done a terrific job in putting this list together. The other positive is there are still another young group of players who are hungry to join the list for 2011 and they are working extremely hard at training. We will be breaking up for Christmas on the 19th of December at Highgate with a function where all players and their families will be attending. There is a really clear expectation of what the players need to do over the break and I am looking forward to the rest of the pre season moving towards practice matches.”

It's all about defence Potter keen to tighten the screws
Sam Landsberger
Leader
January 17, 2011 5:18PM
EXPECT the word "defence" to be scribbled on new Coburg Tigers coach Adam Potter's whiteboard this pre-season in capital letters.
The former Williamstown reserves coach is desperate to tighten the screws at the Richmond VFL affiliate after Coburg ranked third-last for goals conceded in 2010.
"Obviously being a part of an alignment with Richmond we'll align part of our game plan and our structures with them, but we're really looking to improve the defensive area of the game," Potter said.
The Tigers returned to the track on Wednesday after a three-week spell with their fitness levels delighting Potter.
The rookie coach and Ascot Vale school teacher said Coburg will again field a young line-up but expects 22 new faces when the squad is finalised.
The Tigers have snared nine players out of the TAC Cup, including four premiership players from the Calder Cannons.
But headlining the 2011 recruits is former Western Bulldogs rookie Jamason Daniels.
The explosive inside midfielder is expected to be a regular in the senior line-up while Potter brings with him Luke Cartelli and Michael Tanner from Williamstown.
That pair have both won reserves Seagulls best-and-fairests, while Tanner booted seven goals in last year's losing grand final.
Leading forward Nick Lynch returns after a two-year hiatus while former top-10 AFL draft pick Sam Power will again pull on the boots and coach the midfield.
Justin Kahlefedlt has re-signed after a breakout debut year and, along with Cartelli, is burning up the training track.
Potter wants the flashy Kahlefedlt, recruited from Southport last year, to win more contested ball and develop into an inside midfielder as he strives to win a birth on an AFL list
The Tigers will host four practice matches at Craigieburn's Highgate Recreation Reserve, starting with the Bendigo Bombers on March 5.

Tigers off to the beach
* Sam Landsberger
* From: Leader
* February 07, 2011
COBURG is off to Anglesea next week for a two-night getaway as the Victorian Football League season draws closer.
The Tigers will drive to the beach-side location next Friday night for the bonding camp and to perfect new coach Adam Potter's gameplan.
Football manager Craig Byron said while Coburg would follow AFL partner Richmond's style of play, Potter had been granted permission to "add his own spin" to certain elements.
The club is also expected to choose its 2011 team leaders with Nick Carnell expected to again captain the side.
But Byron said Coburg was all but consigned to travelling without Richmond's rookies.
Pair Ben Jakobi, who was recruited from Coburg after a breakout 2010 under now-Richmond assistant-coach David Newett, and mature-age rookie Brad Miller are expected to play a big part in Potter's push for a finals berth this year but will be instructed to stay home.
Next week is Richmond's bye weekend under the split Round 1 format of this year's NAB Cup.
Potter said Coburg was not out to recruit anymore big names but focussing on "filling the end of the list" with local talent.
"We want to now give opportunities to guys from the Essendon District league and the Northern footy league to players who had a good season so they get the chance to perform at the next level," he said.
The former Williamstown reserves coach said finals were not being spoke about, rather the club wants to improve specific areas of its game.
Potter highlighted Coburg's inability to close out tight games last year, losing five by less than 10 points.
He said the balance between home games at Coburg City Oval (five matches) and Craigieburn's Highgate Reserve (four matches), home to dual TAC Cup premiers Calder Cannons, sits well with the Tigers.
"I think it's great that we can move VFL footy into the area of Craigieburn, which is a top-quality VFL-standard facility," he said.
Coburg's first practice match is against Bendigo on March 5 while Potter will make his coaching debut at Sandringham in the Round 1 TV clash.

Coburg Football Club
MEDIA RELEASE
Coburg faithful urged to get on board for Season 2011
The Coburg Football Club enters Season 2011 with a renewed sense of hope and optimism following a very successful preseason and better than expected financial result in 2010.
“With over seventy players vying for a place on the list, competition for spots has been fierce and we certainly believe finals football is a distinct possibility for us this year,” President Bill Balakis said today.
Senior Coach Adam Potter and his coaching staff continue to establish a strong and competitive team whilst off-field success and stabilising the Club remains a key priority for the Board.
The Coburg Football Club is about to embark one of the most intensive sponsorship drives in its history and I urge all businesses in our municipality to consider being part of this exciting growth phase. The Board has committed to several key strategies to ensure our long term success,” he said.
“Firstly we will play a pivotal role in partnering the Moreland City Council in redeveloping the Coburg City Oval so that it becomes more than just a football ground. In early March, we will move into our new administration base alongside the Coburg Cricket Club and the Victorian Women’s Football League at the Coburg City Oval and we look forward to sharing our iconic venue with the Moreland community well into the future.
Mayor, Cr. Oscar Yildiz, JP also confirmed the importance of the redevelopment of Coburg City Oval stating “The master plan for Coburg City Oval is a crucial part of the 2020 Coburg Initiative, which engages Council, the community and stakeholders like the Coburg Football Club in helping revitalise the look and feel of our municipality.”
Mr. Balakis announced, “We have strengthened our commitment to widening our supporter base by playing four games at the Highgate Recreation Reserve in Craigieburn where we also operate the new Highgate Function Centre. This is an opportunity to drive new revenues for the Coburg Football Club that we have not had in the past.”
“Finally we will look at all possibilities as to how we can remain as the Coburg Football Club well into the future. Throughout this year, we will put some options to our members as to how we could potentially structure the Club into the future, however our vision is firmly fixed on staying and playing in a strong and vibrant VFL competition,” Mr. Balakis said.
Recent reports suggest that traditional “stand-alone” VFL clubs could struggle to remain viable and competitive in the future. Given the ever changing nature of how football clubs operate, the Coburg Football Club will continue to look at ways to secure its future and its members, players, staff and partners will be closely consulted when any future options are considered. The Club is also buoyed by the recent announcement by the Chairman of AFL Victoria Ltd, Mr. Peter Jackson, that a 2012-2014 strategic plan and funding model will soon be developed to create certainty and stability for the VFL competition.
“My board’s legacy is to hand the Coburg Football Club on to the next generation of players, members and partners in a financially viable position. Just as on-field success is vital in 2011, so is the board’s commitment to securing the future of the Club”.
“In partnership with the AFL, Moreland and Hume City Council, local Government, key partners and our young playing group, I urge all supporters and potential partners to join us in securing our future. We have unprecedented support from our key stakeholders and wonderful support from our two Councils.

Coburg’s our home, not Craigieburn – Balakis
by Sam Landsberger
Australian Rules/Footy
Brimbank Leader
17 Feb 2010
COBURG president Bill Balakis says Craigieburn’s Highgate Reserve is nothing more than an ``alternative playing facility’’ for the Tigers.
``Coburg is our home,’’ Balakis said today, despite the VFL Tigers’ AFL partner Richmond playing a key role in Highgate’s construction and declaring it wanted Coburg to play and train there.
``As long as I’m president - and you can put this in capitals mate - Coburg is home and will always be our home. Craigieburn is an alternative playing facility,’’ Balakis said.
The alignment between Richmond and Coburg appears destined to end, possibly after the 2011 season, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick declaring last week he wants the Tigers to field their own standalone club in the VFL.
Former Richmond chief executive Steven Wright said when the Highgate project, which boasts an MCG-sized facility that Richmond use extensively during pre-season, was announced it would ``enable our VFL aligned side, the Coburg Tigers, to train and play some of their matches at this new first class facility’’.
Coburg will play four of its nine home games in Craigieburn this year and Balakis, president for the past three years, oversaw the partial shift there in 2009, saying at the time: ``Part of the deal is to embrace the football people around the area, not to get them off-side. Realistically, it is our talent pathway as a second-tier football club so we don’t want to upset the apple cart.’‘
The Tigers played the first VFL home-and-away match against AFL-bound club the Gold Coast Suns at the new facility last year. A bumper crowd watched Coburg cruise to victory in code-hopper Karmichael Hunt’s first try at Australian rules football.
New coach Adam Potter praised the Craigieburn venue last week and said the five-four split of home matches between Highgate and Coburg’s spiritual home worked well.
``I think it’s great that we can move VFL footy into the area of Craigieburn, which is a top-quality VFL-standard facility,’’ Potter said.
Coburg hosts Casey, Bendigo Bombers, Frankston and premiers North Ballarat at its second home while Northern Bullants, Williamstown, Collingwood, Port Melbourne and Box Hill will travel to Coburg.

we also operate the new Highgate Function Centre.
As an aside, why does Coburg operate that function centre and not RFC?
As far as I'm aware the deal with Craigieburn is with Richmond rather than Coburg. Coburg has to play so many games there because the RFC tells them to as part of the deal with Hume council.
-
All the sounds from both camps this week strongly suggest a decision has already been made and a plan for the splitting of both entities is in place. By the tone of both sides comments I wouldn't say the decision has been totally amicable but I guess it never would have been.

seems that way doesnt it?
Probably back about the time Newitt became a development coach and adam potter took over as coburg coach

Gotta say all these articles are covering all bases - we love Craigieburn, we love Coburg, the councils are great, we could go broke & fold etc etc

From Coburg twitter:
"Coburg Football Club is pleased to announce Nick Carnell has again been appointed Captain of the club for season 2011."
-
Reading from Essendon forums, both Coburg and Bendigo kicked about 10 goals each (there was no scoreboard so no one knows who actually won). Coburg were a couple of goals down apparently at 1/4 time before kicking 4-5 goals to 1 to lead at half-time. After a even 3rd qtr Bendigo had the better of the last.
Browne and Postie played. From Essendon's BF board: "Jay Neagle .... Again spent all day in defence and looked out of his depth opposed to big Andrew Browne and young up and comer Jayden Post. Often got caught ball watching and let his opponent give him the slip."
-
I kept score.
Coburg 11.11 Bendigo 12.12
Contin, Browne, Westhoff, Nason, Webberley, Taylor, Macdonald, Gourdis and Post played.
Taylor only played 1st quarter. After half-time sat in the stand with ice on his calf.
I saw Contin several times last year and today I finally saw what good judges have been saying. I reckon he has improved heaps.
Several Richmond players watching, a couple bandaged.

Cheers for the top report FF :cheers. A shame about Taylor. Hopefully he keeps his chin up and it's not too serious a calf injury (fingers crossed it was just a hefty knock).
I rate Contin. To me he's a natural footballer who just needs to boost his endurance to play midfield at AFL level.
How did Goo do today FF?

How did Goo do today FF?
Some good things, some not so good.
His closing speed is amazing but he often seems to spoil the ball to the opposition's advantage.
He went for a run from back pocket to half forward in the last quarter burning players off as they came at him but unfortunately got tagged as he was taking about his 6th bounce.
His foot skills looked ok. I find him a hard one to form an opinion on.
Taylor looked to be quite happy. Maybe nothing much in it, re the ice.
-
Gourdis is an interesting one. I still think there's something there. Really hope he comes on this year

Ta FF.
I must admit I've never thought Goo would ever make it. IMO his kicking technique is too flawed to fix. Under pressure it will come undone. I can see why he attracted attention from recruiters given his size and athleticism but in the end the game is football and you need to be able to kick well especially these days and even moreso playing and rebounding out of defence.

Tigers may can practice match
Hume Leader
by Sam Landsberger
8 Mar 11
COBURG football manager Craig Byron rates the Tigers just a “50-50” chance of playing its practice match at Craigieburn this week as the ground’s surface continues to struggle.
The Tigers hosted the Bendigo Bombers on Saturday in their first competitive hit-out but the match was shifted to Bulleen due to Highgate Recreation Reserve’s dangerous surface.
The wings of the ground are in top shape but the centre corridor remains a mess and did not receive enough heat over summer to properly grow.
Coburg is scheduled to host the Hawks but Byron will contact a host of venues including Visy Park, Skilled Stadium and Arden Street today if Craigieburn again fails its inspection.
The Tigers also looked at Whitten Oval but did not hear back from ground officials. Cricket fixtures meant Windy Hill was unavailable on Saturday and has Coburg City Oval and a heap of other grounds off limits.
Calder Cannons shifted their match on Saturday to Kilmore as the Craigieburn ground continues to wreck pre-season havoc for local sides.
“It’s frustrating,” Byron said.
“Richmond has been great to (let us train at Punt Rd), they barely say a word.
“The problem is if you play at (Craigieburn) it might compromise it for the week after.”
The Tigers fielded a young side on Saturday but will add a heap more experience this week.

Carlton has indicated that it will seek approval for some of its players to play in the Northern Bullants' VFL practice match against Coburg on Friday night at Visy Park for match fitness. Andrew Carrazzo and Bret Thornton are likely to play.

Hopefully we seek permission for our captain to play - he needs it big time. Seriously, based on Friday night and where his fitness levels appear to be there is no way he should play round one unless gets some game time in his legs

Sounds like some of our younger fringe players really want it. If our established senior players can't get their poo together I say drop them and stick some kids in who are going to give it their best. I'd prefer to get beaten watching a young player learn and improve that watch a player be careless and go backwards. No one should be safe. Now's the time to do it Dimma.

Match Report Coburg Vs Box Hill
Coburg Tigers website
In what turned out to be great conditions on the perfect Waverley Park surface Coburg Tigers headed into their second hit out for the year against Box Hill. 26 players in all were involved in the hit out with 11 Richmond listed and 15 Coburg listed players taking the field. Leigh Masters (Bendigo Pioneers) and Glenn Grgic (Northern Knights) both had their first hit out and showed they are very capable at senior level.
During the first quarter Coburg wasted several opportunities after going inside 50 on more than 12 occasions, Coburg failed to put enough score board pressure on and Box Hill ended up with a slender 8 point lead at the first change.
During the second quarter it was all Box Hill, Coburg made several turn over’s in the back half and Box hill ended up kicking 4 goals to 1 in the second term with Carnell adding Coburg’s only major.
Box Hill took a 30 point lead into the half time break, Thursfield had a very good 1st half and rebounded several Box Hill attacks, he was being well supported by Ben Nason and Sam Power who were winning their fair share of ball through the midfield. During the 3rd term Coburg took advantage of 13 I 50’s to kick 6 goals for the quarter. Carnell kicked a brilliant goal from the boundary while Troy Taylor kicked 3 majors for the quarter. Coburg kept Box Hill to 1 goal for the quarter and took a 2 point lead at the break.
Coburg continued on where they left off in the 3rd term with Tuck, Brown and Carnell all kicking successive goals early in the term. Coburg continued on with their pressure through the midfield area and gave their forwards several opportunities. Coburg kicked 5 goals for the term and again defended well to keep Box Hill to 1 goal.
Coach Potter was very pleased with the second half but still thinks his side have a few areas where they can improve “we need to be better when sides start to get a run on and limit their scoring opportunities by playing strong defence. Our transition was poor in the second qtr and we had a similar issue at one stage late in the game against Bendigo last week.” Regular senior players from 2010 Nick Carnell, Sam Power, Ben Clifton, Justin Kahlefeldt and Damien Rayson all had their first hit out for the year and made positive contributions. Will Thursfield had an excellent game and Ben Nason also contributed well. “After two hit outs now the players are starting to understand what is expected, hopefully they learn a fair bit from the second half today and continue to improve heading into the season proper. The good thing is we have exposed 4 first year players to the level in Willie Wheeler, Grgic, Masters and Rohan Hore have all shown positive signs at senior level.”
Scores
Coburg 1.2 2.3 8.6 13.11 89
Box Hill 2.4 6.9 7.10 8.11 59
Goals: Taylor 4, Carnell 3, Nason 2, Browne 2, Hore 1, Tuck 1.
Best Players: Will Thursfield, Ben Clifton, Ben Nason, Andrew Browne, Sam Power, Glenn Grgic
Coburg will now play their next practice match against the Northern Bullants at Visy Park at 5:00pm on Friday. Coburg will then have their season launch on Sunday the 20th of March at the Highgate function centre. Football Manager Craig Byron is looking forward to the season launch and made the following comment “This will be a great event to launch the 2011 season and we look forward to embracing the supporters of the Coburg Football Club. Some of our club legends will be in attendance and the current players have really embraced the history of the club and the past players on their camp to Anglesea and are looking forward to mixing with some of the club greats on Sunday.”

Match Report Vs Bullants
Coburg Tigers website
March 21, 2011
Friday night Coburg played the Northern Bullants in their second last practice match before the regular season kicks off.
Coburg went into the game with no Richmond listed players as it was the scheduled week off for all AFL players.
This meant several young Coburg players again took the field and got some valuable experience at senior level mixing it with the likes of Andrew Carrazzo, Brock Mclean, Lachie Henderson, Jordan Russel and Ryan Houlihan who all played the first half for the Bullants.
The young Coburg outfit competed very well in the first half and took a 30 point lead into the main break. Ben Clifton was prominent in the midfield while Nick Lynch looked very dangerous up forward. Young David Fahey who is in his second year at Coburg, held Lachie Henderson to 1 mark in the first half also. Coburg was able to kick 5 goals to 2 in the first quarter winning several centre clearances in the 1st qtr.
During the second quarter Coburg again competed well against a quality opposition and it was great to see the likes of Willie Wheeler and Alex Mcleod in the first year out from the TAC mixing it with the likes of Brock Mclean around the stoppages. Coburg again kicked 4 goals to 2 for the quarter with Nick Lynch kicking two for the qtr.
The 3rd term saw the Bullants bounce back and outscore the Tigers 4 goals to 1, Ahmed Saad was involved in several attacks for the Bullants and ended up kicking 5 on the day. Potter spoke to his group about transition and the ability to bounce back in the last qtr.
To the young players credit they held the Bullants goalless in the last qtr and defended really well, Coburg only added 1 major for the qtr but showed the defensive intent required at the level.
Potter was pleased with the output of some of the senior players but also the young players in the group “Benny Clifton led the way in the middle of the ground and I thought Carnell looked really dangerous up forward, Luke Cartelli showed he is more than capable of playing at the level and David Fahey also performed really well. Again it was great to have 7 first year players and 5 2nd year players play at senior level, it is great for their development and some of them showed the work they have been putting in over the pre season is paying off. We still have a fair bit to work to do and we are definitely aware there is a lot of room for improvement but at the same time some very positive signs from the playing group.”
Scores
Coburg 11.4 70
Northern Bullants 8.6 54
Goals: Lynch 2, Lawton 2, Grgic 2, D Murphy, 1, N Carnell 1. R Jordan 1, L Cartelli 1, B Clifton 1,
Best players: Clifton, Carnell, Cartelli, Lynch, Fahey, Wheeler
The Tigers now play Werribee in the last match of the Pre season. Forthcoming details of the game will be available as soon as possible, please check the website later in the week for details.
The Development squad played on the Saturday and if it was not for inaccurate kicking in the first half,the game would have been over but the signs were positive and hopefully these players will Develop over the season and put pressure on the Senior players.
We held on for a 7 point win but overall we were happy with the result for both games.

got out to coburg at 1/4 time
kingie presented well in the second 1/4 and then had a shower.
tuck played well, moved onto the ball in the last 1/4 and drove the tigers home. could have done with that on thursday.
nason looked short of a run but linked up well in the last.
grimes played really well. I think we have a footballer of the future there.
Miller is going to be a good acquisition for coburg. presented well and kicked 6 or so i think.
thursty also had a shower at 1/2 time, i think.
post was OK
taylor couldn't get into the game untill the last 1/4 where he did some nice work.
webberly was there abouts.
Browne actually did ok around the ground, but i dont recall him feeding anyone with true tap work.
contin moves well in traffic but it took me a while to identify him so i cant say how much of the ball he actually got.
didnt notice dea much but again, i dont know his head.
Although the overall skills standard is not as high, it was a more enjoyable game to watch than that poo served up last night.

to be honest i didnt recognise the goo untill late in the game.
Daw didnt dominate by any stretch of the imagination though

Thanks Al good stuff mate.
So Thursty, Tuck, King and Miller might be in line for call ups next week...MIGHT BE. I think we need Thurstys height down back and Tucks grunt in the middle.

Coburg 3.2 10.5 11.6 19.11-125
Werribee 4.1 5.3 10.13 13.14-92
Obvious question: Was the breeze the main factor for the widely changing scores at each quarter break?
Despite his six goals, I'm hoping we resist the temptation to bring Miller into the seniors and stick with getting as many AFL games into the cubs.

yeah the wind played a factor. It didnt seem to be blowing that strong but kicks were travelling a lot further to the scoring end.
On miller, i think (hope) the fact that he has been given number 6 while all the other richmond players get numbers in the 40s and higher shows that he is destined to play mainly at coburg as long as the younger blokes are fit enough and form warrants selection with richmond.

Thanks al.
Is Derickx injured?
-
not sure. Just after half time a group of young blokes in coburg gear came back from the direction of the leisure center.
I think one of them was derrickx and assume they all played in the seconds and were up there doing their recovery, but thats only guessing.
Mcdonald was in shorts and a long sleeve top watching the seniors game when i turned up so not sure if he played at all

If Derickx did play Coburg ressies then no wonder we want our own stand alone side in the VFL.

Didn't Derrickx get injured in the practice match vs Bullants - bruised heel maybe?

I forgot about that. You may be right smokey.

he has been injured so has no match fitness.

umpire told me that Tuck, browne, webberley , King and Miller were Coburgs best ;)

A North fan on North's BF page thought Browne stood out as well.
he has been injured so has no match fitness.
Cheers TFL.

Dean McDonald playing in Coburg 2s?

Shocking when we have players that we are trying to get ready for AFL playing VFL reserves. I was reading somewhere that the VFL reserve standard is lower than TAC cup. Don't know if this is true but if it is then it is a woeful situation.
Sooner we get our own team the better. $500,000 well spent IMO and should be number 1 priority.

There's another aspect to running our own reserves team that hasn't really been touched on and that is the esprit de corps that comes from all playing under the one banner, the same jumper. I know that it's a professional sporting environment but you still see the effect of 'team' on a weekly basis in games, team mates inspiring each other to greater efforts because they are just that - team mates. And having all our players playing for the same team, the same club and the same jumper will enhance that effect. Senior players getting involved with the reserves team and reserves players getting involved with the senior team, same training sessions, same training venues, same team meetings, same gym, same pool, same runners, same trainers, same medicos, same rehab procedures etc etc. Familiarity and ownership of the common cause. 'Oneness' is a powerful byproduct of having your own reserves team and it's benefits should be respected when the club comes to decide if we go it alone or not.

Season Review: Coburg Tigers
VFL website
06 September 2011
We take a look back at season 2011 for the Coburg Tigers.
2011 Position: 11th / 2010 Position: 11th
2011 Record: 6-12 / 2010 Record: 6-13
Highest Score: Rd 9, 22.7.139 v Collingwood
Lowest Score: Rd 11 & 21 7.6.48 v Port Melbourne and Frankston
Leading goalkickers: Carnell (26), D.Murphy (13)
What happened: The football gods seemingly conspired against Coburg Tigers throughout much of the season. Coburg never really recovered from losing its opening two games by three and seven points respectively against Sandringham and Northern Bullants and with all its four byes coming in the first 14 weeks of the season it was hard for them to gain any traction. While that didn’t help matters, neither did a host of dreadful performances: Port Melbourne belted them by 104-points; Box Hill (76), North Ballarat (92 & 60), Williamstown (52). Add to that the fact that Frankston continued, figuratively, to twist the knife beating Coburg Tigers twice, including a humbling 67-point drubbing down at the Peninsula. It’s hard to reconcile those inept performances with the Coburg Tigers that twice defeated finalists Casey Scorpions (twice), Bendigo Bombers (twice) and Northern Bullants. And, it’s not as if Coburg Tigers didn’t have enough seasoned Richmond players throughout the season. Shane Tuck, Brad Miller, Angus Graham, Ben Nason, Jeromey Webberley, Jayden Post and Will Thursfield all spent chunks of time in the VFL. Kicking goals was a season-long problem as evidenced by the fact that captain Nick Carnell led the goal kicking with 24 goals and first-year player Dylan Murphy was second with 13-goals and he only played six games! Only four times did Coburg Tigers kick 100 plus points in a match and that’s never going to equate to many wins.
Star performers: Once again captain Nick Carnell lead from the front in another season that reaffirmed him as a top-quality VFL player while last season’s best and fairest winner Sam Power showed his class in a season that’s going to see him figure prominently again in the best and fairest. Recruit Michael Tanner, after not playing a senior game at Williamstown, showed that sometimes all you need is an opportunity. Tanner gained that at Coburg Tigers and clearly showed he was more than comfortable at the level. Ben Clifton and Damien Rayson also enjoyed consistent seasons. TAC Cup graduates Willie Wheeler, Dylan Murphy, Glen Grgic all displayed enough to suggest they will develop into fine players.
What’s needed: More depth at the VFL level, particularly a key, goal kicking forward. Coburg Tigers did not have a go-to-guy in attack and this was reflected by its inability to consistently apply scoreboard pressure. As evidenced by all the successful clubs over the past decade, those clubs that have a core of six to 10 VFL players in the 70-100 plus games invariably enjoy success. Of course, that will only come with time, but it’s important for Coburg Tigers to retain those players in the 30-50 game region so they can become the above-mentioned players.

Craig has spent the last few years playing and having an assistant coaching role at Balwyn F.C in the EDFL under Daniel Harford. He has also spent time in W.A playing some 150 games in the WAFL.
Senior Coach Adam Potter is excited to have Craig join us and says "his experience will be a fantastic support to him and to the playing group".
Corey Laforgia will now look after the Forward Line and Brett Cook will continue with his Defensive Coaching role.
Mario Lirosi will look after the Development group supported by Shane Wellington and Theo Theodorou, who joins us this year after spending many years at Spotswood in the Western Football League.
Pre season commenced on the 9th Nov and we have some 65 players partaking. Richmond F.C have again been a great support to us allowing us to utilise their facilities at Punt Rd on Mondays and Fridays and on Wednesdays we will train at Highgate Recreational Reserve at Craigieburn. All sessions commence at 6pm.

Coburg Football Club general manager and former AFL Central Australia boss Jake McCauley said Coburg are planning to sign the undrafted Louis Egger to join Turner at the Tigers for the 2012 VFL season.
He said: ``The club is pursuing Louis Egger and he was down at the club last week for a training session.
``We know he is moving to Melbourne for university and, after Gibson got drafted on Tuesday, we feel it would be a great fit.
``It will help both guys out knowing they will be playing together again in 2012.''

Are the ABC doing VFL games next year as there's no mention of tv telecasts in the VFL draw release?
If they are and it's still a 1pm start then it doesn't look like any Coburg games will be on the tv in 2012 :scream

Somehwere around the traps i have heard/read things that indicated to me the ABC was not likely to be showing any football next year. :-\
-
Last I heard the ABC were trying to get increased financial support of the AFL/govt.
-
I know the SANFL are still in negotiations with the ABC and it's been going on for months.

As you say '65 the ABC is trying to get a better financial "model" (code for more money) from the AFL. Presumably this applies to the VFL and all state leagues as well.

yep read the same over here as well
recall it actually being discussed on the ABC radio sports talkback one weekend
radio calls to stay but looking doubtful for TV
-
bit of a shame really. when i fist heard it mentioned it was just in relation to the SANFL. Beauty, i thought we will get the VFL instead, but then a short time later i read that it was a national issue >:(

WAFL Broadcast news:
Earlier bouncedown for WAFL in 2012
WAFL league matches will start earlier next season as the local league strives to secure the future of live Saturday afternoon broadcasts.
Clubs have agreed to bring forward bouncedown in the traditional timeslot by five minutes to 2.10pm to ensure clashes finish before 5pm.
ABC TV, which had strongly considered dropping its coverage of State league football earlier this year, was concerned at the amount of matches that run over time last year. The broadcaster was often forced to cut short its WAFL coverage to fit in regular programming.
The WAFL have revealed the 2012 draw, a process complicated in recent weeks by the objections of some clubs and lateness of the Foxtel Cup draw announcement.
Peel, in particular, were concerned by what they believed might have been a difficult fixture list. The Thunder have ended up playing 2011 premiers Claremont and runners-up Subiaco three times each.
As is the complicated nature of the WAFL fixtures - because of an uneven number of teams and projected planning for Foxtel Cup matches - the 2012 draw has also thrown up a strange quirk.
Peel play Claremont at Bendigo Bank Stadium in round nine then the teams meet again at Claremont Oval in round 11, although there is also a State fixture in between.
WA is scheduled to meet South Australia in Adelaide on May 26.
The 2012 WAFL season will start on March 17 with a stand-alone Saturday contest between Subiaco and West Perth at Medibank Stadium. Next year's grand final is set for Sunday September 23.
The WAFL will continue to experiment with a Good Friday match. East Perth will again take on hosting rights with a match against Perth starting at 4.15pm.
I hope that national coverage of the state leagues is maintained as it is vital for the health of these comps in attracting & maintaining young players that want a crack at AFL level as early 20's late developers cos as sure as hell the 'AFL Media' will not tip in.
Personally, I believe it to be obscene that 1 single AFL club has the salary cap of all 3 major state leagues combined.
-
I don't believe any TV deal has been finalised
Wouldn't be at all surprised if the VFL isn't on FTA TV in 2010. Only thing I can see remaining is the silly FOXTEL cup
-
The Foxtel Cup is on pay TV and all games are starting early (10am-noon) given there's 3 AFL games on Saturdays from now on. So it still doesn't clash with the FTA ABC TV coverage. In fact the Foxtel Cup started because the ABC state league footy ratings were decent. It seems mostly the ABC wants more money from the AFL. Otherwise some moron at the Sydney-controlled ABC is making decisions for other states he doesn't have a clue about. The latter wouldn't be the first time that has happened mind you.

Are there a bigger pack of whingers than Victorians? Little Britain :lol

Coburg Recruits 2012 Signings & Re-Signings
Pat Contin:
Pat joins Coburg for the next two seasons after two years on the Richmond rookie list. Pat is familiar with his team mates at Coburg and will have a big impact this coming season. Last year Pat played 12 senior games. His last six rounds in particular were very good where he was named in the best on 3 occasions and averaged 24 disposals. Pat was originally recruited to Richmond from Glenelg in the SANFL.
Daniel Vendetti:
Daniel joins the club from the Perth Demons in the WAFL competition where he played 41 senior games. Daniel has good experience playing at senior level and at the age of 24 will be able to pass on his knowledge to our younger players. He is looking forward to playing in the VFL after his time in Western Australia.
Coburg has again been active in securing young players from the TAC cup competition.
Liam Brandt:
Liam joins Coburg after a successful period at the Northern Knights. He played 14 games with the Knights in 2011. He is the half-brother of former Coburg and now Richmond regular Jake King.
Nicholas Maric:
Nicholas joins Coburg after a very successful year with the Northern Knights. He is a skilful half forward who won the TAC Cup competition goal kicking in 2011. He played 29 games of TAC cup over the last two years for 56 goals.
Paul Sahlberg:
Paul had a successful year at the Calder Cannons in 2011 where he played 20 games. Paul is a highly skilled midfield/forward type who was a regular in the best players with the Cannons.
Ozgur Uysal:
Ozgur joins Coburg after playing the last two years with the Calder Cannons. He played 34 games in total and has also 4 senior VFL games as the 23rd player over the last two years. Ozgur was very unlucky not to be rookie listed after strong performances in the TAC and we are looking forward to him have a big year with Coburg in 2012.
Jordan Iudica:
Jordan also joins the club from the Calder Cannons. He only played 3 games in 2011 due to injury but has already shown he has the potential to play VFL senior footy. He is a very good left foot kick and has been a consistent performer over the pre-season.
Blair Cronin:
Blair joins Coburg after an interrupted 2011 due to injury. He has had a very good junior career winning All Australian honours in 2008. Blair is working to get himself fit for the upcoming season and has showed the potential to be a good player for the club in the future.
Ben Drummond:
Ben also joins the club from the Calder Cannons. He played 14 games in 2010 in his two years at the Cannons and is also putting together a solid pre-season.
Coach Adam Potter had the following to say about his new recruits:
We are very happy to have Patty on board. He had a good impact in 2011 and he is in great shape. Patty is driven and sets great standards with his training and approach to his footy. I am confident he will have a good impact this year. Daniel has shown he is very committed to his footy and has played some senior footy in Perth. We are looking for Daniel to play some senior footy over the coming year.
Of our new young players Liam Brandt and Paul Sahlberg have been impressing on the track. Liam is super competitive and makes good decisions under pressure. Paul is highly skilled and is a quick learner. He has fitted into the group really well. We are pleased with our new crop of young players and are hopeful they can initially play as the 23rd and then step in and play senior footy in their own right.
We will have news on other new recruits in the near future.
We have signed approximately 35 players for 2012. We have been able to keep key senior players in Carnell, Rayson, Clifton, McErlain, Tanner, Cartelli and Jordan. The likes of Wheeler, Masters, Grgic and Murphy have also re committed and will be better after their first year of senior footy.
Potter made the following comments on the pre-season thus far:
We have added Rob Inness as our new head of fitness this year and he has the players very fit and strong. We will again be a very young squad and will be looking to develop young players to step up and play senior footy. We would like to see improvement from our second year players who had an impact at senior level last year.
There is also improvement in our senior contingent of players. Ben Clifton had a very good year through the midfield last year and we want him to take another step, Rayson is looking fit and strong and now has 50 games of experience and a player like Michael Tanner will be better after his first full year of senior footy in 2011.
We have had stability in our coaching group and are looking forward to having a strong alignment with Richmond again in 2012.

Spot on One-eyed.
In hot and windy conditions at Craigieburn, Coburg won 10 goals to 1. The qtrs were shortened due to the heat.
Coburg played quite well and were very strong defensively.
No Richmond listed players played in the game.

How did Contin / Wheeler go?

Contin didnt play, Wheeler was reasonable.

Cheers TFL :cheers
Here's the match report from the Coburg website...
Coburg vs. Frankston - Match Report
Coburg website
27/02/2012
Coburg F.C met up with Frankston at Highgate Rec Reserve on Saturday in what could only be described as difficult conditions with an oppressive heat and a strong northerly wind.
The game started off slowly but as time went on Coburg ran out comfortable winners 10.5-65 to 1.4-10
With only 7 spots left to be filled on our 2012 list, it was important that the Coaches be able to see these players in match conditions and some players came to the fore.
Michael Tanner was solid in defence and Luke Cartelli and Perth recruit Daniel Venditti were important around the ground.
Captain Nick Carnell showed the benefit of having his best pre season in years and was instrumental in several goals and Calder Cannons recruit Ozgur Uysal showed that he is up to the level of VFL and could be an exciting senior player.
As there were regular rotations due to the heat there was no specific outstanding players.
Goal Kickers: Carnell 2, Hore 2, Jordon 2, Uysal 2, Maric, Clifton
Best: Tanner, Venditti, Rayson, Brandt, Cartelli

Travelling Tigers
Sam Landsberger
Moreland Leader
27/02/2012
Coburg to take VFL footy on the road this year
COBURG Tigers will travel nearly 1000 kilometres for two home games this season as the club takes Victorian Football League action to the outer reaches of the state.
The Tigers will play home games in Shepparton and Warrnambool, expanding their home base to four different venues — the most in the VFL.
Coburg will trek 175 kilometres to Shepparton’s Deakin Reserve in Round 11 to battle Bendigo before backing it up three weeks later with a 275km trip to Warrnambool’s Reid Oval to face Geelong.
Tigers general manager Jake Mccauley said the club was excited at the prospect of growing its brand and could aid its recruiting drive.
‘‘ The Murray Bushrangers ( a TAC Cup club) aren’t aligned with any VFL clubs. So if and when players coming through that system relocate to Melbourne, by us having at least one match up there a year it’ll put us front of mind,’’ Mccauley told Leader.
‘‘We’d hope those players would come down to Coburg before going to another club.’’ Mccauley said AFL partner Richmond had embraced Coburg’s venture, while regional communities and clubs were excited at the prospect of seeing state-league football.
‘‘It’s a really good opportunity for us and for Richmond,’’ he said. ‘‘ We know from Richmond’s membership hotspot they’ve got about 1600 members or registered supporters up in Shepparton and a few at Warrnambool, so we know we’re going to be very wellsupported and it’s a good opportunity for the Coburg Football Club to build its brand.’’ But Mccauley stopped short of guaranteeing the regional matches would remain a permanent part of Coburg’s fixture.
‘‘We haven’t gone that far yet but it’s certainly not off the table. We’ll see how the local communities get around and support the events,’’ he said.
‘‘By the middle end of year we’ll make a decision if it’s going to be long-term, but at this stage with the support we’ve received it’s looking like a pretty happy marriage.’’
Coburg will also play two games at Craigieburn’s Highgate Recreation Reserve this year.
Mccauley said the club was happy with its fixture, which will see the Tigers face Northern Blues, Geelong, Frankston, North Ballarat, Box Hill and Werribee twice.
‘‘We pushed pretty hard to get Round 1 at home,’’ he said.
‘‘It’s a really important way for us to kick off our season, obviously against our cross-town rival the Northern Blues.
‘‘There’s no AFL footy on in Melbourne that weekend so it’s a great opportunity for fans to get out and come to the VFL and see some AFL footballers and hopefully we have a really nice win.’’

Tigers beat Frankston in the Heat
By Sam Landsberger
Moreland Leader
28/02/2012
Coburg was given a glimpse of its future on Saturday – and it looks bright, an array of baby Tigers helping to kill off Frankston in the club’s first scratch match for the year.
Coburg fielded no AFL-listed talent with Richmond players given the week off, and was able to keep the Dolphins to one goal in the nine-goal rout at Craigieburn’s Highgate Recreation Reserve.
Damien Rayson and Mick Tanner impressed coach Adam Potter with their efforts from the back line, while the second-year master was pleased with several TAC Cup graduates.
Pint-sized Nick Maric, who led the TAC Cup goalkicking last season, booted two goals, as did Calder alumni Ozgur Uysal.
“It’s going to be competitive to see who gets that 23rd man position for Round 1, and it’s good to see so many putting their hands up,” Potter said.
“I was really happy with how it went. It was great to see our young guys given a chance at senior footy.”
Potter said he would turn to three midfield stars – vice-captian Ben Clifton, young gun Willie Wheeler and Richmond recruit Pat Contin – to fill the gaping hole left by Sam Power, while Nick Carnell is primed for another big year.
Contin sat out Saturday’s practice match with a niggle but Potter said he would return against Werribee this week.
“His last 6 – 8 games last year were really good, he’s very professional and wants to earn another chance (at AFL level),” Potter said.
The match was shifted forward two hours due to the sweltering heat.

Was very wet at Craigieburn today and rained for the entire game.
Werribee had approx 13 North players including Ross, Warren, Anthony, Mckinley. Very strong team.
Coburg's only listed players were Graham, Browne, Griff and Darrou. There was also a number of Coburg Senior listed players not in today.
From a Richmond point of view the rucks were average while Griff was ok down back(played there for 3qtrs) before being rested for the last. Ben Darrou is a solid young fella and was ok down back for his first senior game against a very stong line up.

As i Said al, don't know which other RFC boys palyed for Coburg yesterday as the game was over when I got there and my mates lost interest very quickly as Geeloong piled ont he goals ;D
-
The RFC boys that played were
Griff, Browne, Gus, Derickx, Arnott, McGuane, Darrou, Dea, Elton, O'Hanlon, Verrier, Connors, Wright and Turner.
Matty Dea was best of the RFC boys and Arnott was pretty good also. Elton showed a couple of nice signs and that was probably about it. O'Hanlon took a couple of nice grabs but not much more.
First time alot of these boys played together and many of the senior Coburg players didnt play.
-
No Morris?
-
Week off i would suggest.
Webberly and White were around but also didnt play for Coburg.

The year ahead for VFL
Brent Diamond

Coburg Tigers
Coach: Adam Potter
Captain: Nick Carnell
Key recruits: Daniel Venditti (Perth), Pat Contin (Richmond), Ozgur Uysal (Calder Cannons)
Key departures: Sam Power, Justin Kahlefeldt
Watch out for: Willie Wheeler to continue his rise in the game. Was close to being drafted last year but another top season will only escalate his AFL ambitions.
Premiership betting: $21
Prediction: We won't see a massive improvement from last season but they will make in-roads with a developing team. 12th

Coburg lead Box Hill by 40 pts at one stage in the first half last Friday night before being overrun in the second half to lose by 5 goals :-\.
Coburg 6.6 9.10 12.11 13.12-90
Box Hill 1.1 4.7 11.8 19.10-124
Apparently Box Hill had a fair few Hawthorn AFL-listed players playing - Bruce, Osborne, Young, Muston, Lowden, Grimley, Litherland, Frank, Schneider, Hill, Langford and Pattison (yep ex-Tiger). Patto injured his shoulder btw.
Hawk rucks Lowden and Grimley dominated the hitouts to advantage in the second half (against Gus and.or Derickx?) so Box Hill with most of the clearances turned the game on its head and overran Coburg kicking 15.3 to 4.2 after half-time.

Coburg on the rise under Adam Potter's guide
Sam Landsberger
Leader
March 19, 2012
COBURG coach Adam Potter is a school teacher by trade.
His VFL side is akin to a class of eager students, slowly progressing up the ranks and acquiring new skills on the journey.
Potter's task this season is to catapult his pupils into the acceleration class, where they can be fast-tracked into elite footballers ready to take the second-tier league by the scruff.
The talent is there. In Willie Wheeler, Leigh Masters, Ben Clifton, Michael Tanner, Rhett Jordan, Dylan Murphy and David Fahey the Tigers have some serious emerging talent at their disposal.
Wheeler, a midfield jet who can kick goals, has a nice burst of pace and can win contested possessions, was stiff to miss at last year's drafts.
He, Masters and Richmond recruit Pat Contin are three who will give AFL recruiters something to ponder again this season.
Advertisement
The "ins" column is skinny - Potter has acquired some clever TAC Cup graduates without a marquee name - but with some shrewd Richmond recruiting Coburg has the nucleus for success.
"We aim to play finals but we're at a stage now where I want our senior-listed players to take the next step," Potter said when discussing the season.
"It's pretty exciting that from the VFL contingent there are a lot of really young players who we're still trying to develop.
"Our issue last year was we averaged enough inside-50s but we probably didn't generate enough score. So that's something we've looked at, our forward structure will probably change a little bit."
Coburg endured a frustrating 2011 and with a young side was cruelled by a nightmare start to the season.
Continuity was sapped by repeated byes wedged between narrow defeats, while the Tigers appeared to lack fitness at times and suffered some poundings on the scoreboard.
That, Potter says, has been addressed.
"We've also done a lot of work over the summer on decision making. We had too many goals scored against us from turnovers last year and so that's been a real focus, as well as fitness so they can make good decisions when they're fatigued," he said.
Coburg showed its potential with boilovers against Casey (twice), the Northern Blues and Bendigo (twice), with that work undone by two poor showings against Frankston.
CAPTAIN: Nick Carnell will lead the Tigers again and remains one of the most inspirational leaders in the competition. A tough player with a strong work ethic, he is an early candidate to lead Victoria in the state match this season.
ONE TO WATCH: Nathan Thomas has played just one senior match but grabbed 28 touches against Werribee in a practice match and has had a super summer. Leading TAC Cup goalkicker Nick Maric another which could excite as 23rd man

Round 5 v Frankston
Round 6 v Box Hill Hawks
PASS MARK
Coburg captain Nick Carnell is keen to build a culture of sustained success and professionalism. To do that 2012 must be a platform season, building on the six-win achievement under Adam Potter last year. Early wins will be paramount to avoid the horror start 2011 produced, with three wins from the first five achievable. If Coburg can square its ledger by seasons end and play finals it would be a resounding success and giant leap forward.

Coburg Tigers v Northern Blues

Friday night saw both the senior and development teams have their last hit out at Highgate Recreation Reserve in Craigeburn before the real stuff gets under way.

Box Hill 3.1 7.3 8.5 8.5 (53)
Goals: Cole, Hore, Bamblett, Turner
Best: Groves, Cole, Fahey, Cartelli, Bamblett
The Senior side continued that momentum into the first half of their game and lead by 33 points at the main break. Unfortunately the Hawks ran out eventual 34 point winners piling on 15 goals in the second half.
Coburg 6.6 9.10 12.12 13.12 (90)

I think the best Burger players know it's going to be very hard for Coburg to be competitive and survive on their own next year. I don't blame Wheeler jumping ship to join a strong VFL club.

Outside of Nick Carnell, they've lost most of their senior (decent) players. No surprise, need $$$ to compete with the W'stns, Port Melbs of this world

Coburg 2013 Practice Match Dates:
Saturday March 2nd vs Frankston at Frankston Park
@CoburgFC are back tomorrow as well with 8 RFC listed players playing, the game is at Frankston from 2pm.
Elton is one of the 8 RFC guys.
So if you want to see some of our Tiger cubs running around then head down to Frankston tomorrow.

No thanks. Apart from the 2000km distance issue, Frankston is to Coburg what Gold Coast is to Richmond. Too early in the year for that crap!!
-
Who else is playing?
-
Who else is playing?
At a guess - Elton (confirmed), McIntosh, McBean, Derickx, Darrou, Williams, ?, ?
The remaining two could be any of Knights, Chaplin, Lonergan or Simon?

Looks like another loooooooooooong year coming up for Coburg :P.
From twitter:
"QT: Frankston all over Coburg and lead 6.3.39 to 1.0.6. Dolphins defensive pressure has been sensational"
-
Coburg's no 7 not looking good after a teammate's clearing kick from defence slammed into his face :-X. Game stops, trainers attend to him
Not so much going on this quarter, strong breeze now favouring Coburg but they haven't capitalised.
Edit: Elton just kicked a goal from a set shot. Frankston leading Coburg 6.3.39 to 2.3.15 deep into the second quarter
-
Elton lines up for his second goal but misses. Uysal intercepts the kick-in and makes no mistake. It's Fra 6.3.39 Cob 3.4.22
-
Aaron Edwards slots a set shot. Jarrod Irving has kept him pretty quiet until now. It's Fra 7.3.45 - Cob 4.4.28
-
aaron edwards playing in magoos, obviously not the only one to think he was ordinary last 2 outings ::)
-
Half-time
Coburg 1.0 4.4-28
Frankston 6.3 7.3-45
Goals: A.Edwards, Elton, Brandt, Uysal.
Coburg kicked 3 goals with a substantial breeze. Frankston maintain a healthy lead.
Coburg's Jesse Boyd was the player stretchered off.
-
Can't wait until this Coburg rubbish has finished. :shh
-
Can't wait until this Coburg rubbish has finished. :shh
Agreed.
I always thought it was B.S to begin with.
-
At 3QT it was Frankston leading 10.7.67 to 7.4.46
But Coburg jumped out of the blocks in the last quarter to slam on 4 goals to pinch the lead. Frankston just replied though and now lead by a point.
-
Go Coburg!!
-
gee, theres nothing in this :shh
-
And it's all over! Frankston almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory but a late major to Sam Lloyd ensured they held on.
-
I demand heads to roll.
-
Bloody hell even Coburg choke.
-
Jesse Boyd stretchered off after copping a ball to the head from Steven Verrier, freak incident.

Do you know what other RFC guys played for Coburg today? I know Elton, A.Edwards and Verrier did.

I only saw the 3rd quarter so I can only give a small run down.
Verrier - He is starting to look like a solid player. Very good side step and he was very vocal instructing players around him.
Darrou - Played deep back and did ok given he was playing on some big opponents.
Williams - Played in the midfield and wing and got involved physically. A positive is he moves very well in traffic.
McDonough - Played half back which will help his defensive game. Magnificent kick.
McIntosh - Played deep back and showed some good speed at time and nice spoils.
Elton - Was used in the ruck and played very well. Missed a few passes but is was very windy so not overly concerned. Has a fantastic leap and mark.
Edwards - Was used as a spare man in defence and also played in the middle. Nothing special.
Coburg player Saad was electric and has some serious pace. Played well.
-
I'm hardly a prude but why play AEdwards as a midfielder/defender ;D
-
Jesse Boyd stretchered off after copping a ball to the head from Steven Verrier, freak incident.

AUDIO: Coburg coach Tim Clarke was on SEN with Mark Fine ....
http://www.sen.com.au/audioplayer/Audio/VFL-Season-Preview-Part-1/7261
* The focus of our footy club, given the situation in 2014 when both Richmond and Coburg will go it alone in the VFL, is to develop the Richmond players as well as we can, so they can perform at the highest level in the Richmond senior team. It’s also to work with all the kids that have committed to the VFL Coburg list, to make them better players, give them some of the education that’s coming down from Richmond. Hopefully, at the end of the year, a handful of those guys might be pushing for AFL lists themselves. That’s our biggest focus this year.
* The way that Richmond recruited, with some of the mature rookies that they got on board, definitely helps at the depth at Richmond, but also at VFL level. That’s going to be very good for some of the young guys on our list - an 18-year-old looking at playing with a 26-28-year-old, that’s either played VFL for 10 years, or played AFL for four or five. Some of those young guys coming up and playing with the AFL boys can make a huge difference with their footy. It really does help with their development.

Grimes played a half and apparently told Chocco Williams that he has pulled up well afterwards.
Dea copped a groin injury with 5 mins to go.
Darrou copped a left leg injury.

Good news about Grimes. :thumbsup
Depth looks better at Coburg therefore making them more competitive than the slop they served up late last year when Richmond had injuries.
Good news for Richmond. :thumbsup

Richmond-listed players Matt Arnot, Chris Knights and Orren Stephenson were standouts for Coburg in its 11-point win against Werribee.
Matt Arnot (28 disposals, 12 kicks, 16 handballs, 5 marks, 1 goal)
Chris Knights (28 disposals, 11 kicks, 17 handballs, 7 marks)
Orren Stephenson (13 disposals, 10 kicks, 3 handballs, 4 marks, 45 hit-outs)
Like Grimes, Helbig made a successful return playing the first half.

Coach was that against the Robinvale midgets?

Understand where Coach is coming from - hit out stats in the VFL can be misleading. Would like to know who the BigO was up against.
Senior player or some 18-20 yo?
Granted you can only beat your opponent but ....
-
Yessssssssss the Big O 45 hit outs. VFL Premiers once we ditch these Coburg scrubs. Depth like you've never seen it before lads. :clapping
-
TBH am not impressed. Browne got 101 hitouts in a game last year :lol
Really? What game? I wasn't actually referring to the hitouts, more the rounded set of of figures that suggest he involved himself more than other 2nd string ruckman we have had over the past few years but I suppose the Gus love affair runs long and and deep.
-
It was a 3rds game from memory but still impressive.
Let's be honest, you don't see many Coburg games. Last year you made some very uninformed comments on our ruckman who were playing reserves footy. One of those ruckman destroyed the guy you are now talking up. I might like Gus as bloke but at least I can admit he's not much chop as a #1 ruckman at the top level. Is a decent option as a back up. Your hate will not allow you to admit he was very close to the best ruckman in Australia that wasn't getting regular AFL games in 2012. Seriously, he had 60+ hitouts in a game last year and was named in the bests very often. Adelaide picked him up because he has ability. His efforts in pre-season have been good. If you think Graham wasn't getting 13 touches and 4 marks at Coburg then you're definitely mistaken. Andy Browne did that often. Stephenson is the new Addam. Why can't we ever wait until the season proper ;)
-
Comparing 3rds to 2nds like comparing a turd to a chocolate bar. :shh

If you think Graham wasn't getting 13 touches and 4 marks at Coburg then you're definitely mistaken. Andy Browne did that often. Stephenson is the new Addam. Why can't we ever wait until the season proper ;)
Ok then, here are some informed comments about the "very close to the best ruckman in Australia that wasn't getting regular AFL games in 2012":
In 2012 Graham played 1 AFL game and 17 VFL games, Stephenson played 8 AFL games and 7 VFL games. Their respective averages for those VFL games are:
Graham - 7.3 kicks, 7.6 handballs, 5.2 marks, 2.7 tackles, 28 hitouts. His highest hitout number for the season was 48, not 60+ as mentioned.
Stephenson - 7.3 kicks, 7.4 handballs, 5.1 marks, 3.4 tackles, 44.6 hitouts. His highest hitout number was 60.
So on bare stats they rated the same for kicks, handballs and marks, Stephenson slightly better in tackles and much better in hitouts.
In 2012 Graham was named in the best players in 7 of his 17 games, an average of once every 2.4 games he played. Stephenson was named in the best in 5 of his 7 games, an average of once every 1.4 games.
So Stephenson was named in his team's best players much more on average than Graham.
In 2012 at least 14 VFL ruckmen received votes in the JJ Liston Trophy with Tom Bellchambers topping the list with 9 votes. Stephenson received 7 votes polling in 5 of his 7 games. Graham never received a vote in any of his 17 games.
I don't know what season you refer to when you say Graham destroyed Stephenson because they never faced off in 2012. And Graham wasn't named in the best in either of the games against Geelong but his opponent both times in 2012 - Dawson Simpson - was named in the best in one of those games. If the "destroying" occurred prior to 2012 then we are starting to not compare apples with apples because prior to that Graham had the advantage of learning and developing in the AFL system since 2007, Stephenson had never had that opportunity up to then. And one thing Graham had over many other clubs (not Geelong though) in the VFL in 2012 was that he was getting a decent chop out in the ruck for most of the year from Browne (who was in the best players a number of times himself but not as often as Graham). When I researched these stats I realised that most of the VFL clubs went with one ruckman on many occasions - in theory this should have made it much easier for Graham to 'shine'.
To be fair to Graham, I didn't include Stephenson's 4 finals games in 2012 because Graham didn't have the same opportunity to show his 'true' ability under the added pressure of finals football but it is interesting to note that Stephenson was named in the best players for Geelong in 3 of their 4 games including the Grand Final.
Angus Graham might be the best bloke that ever lived but his football achievements and record do not attest to the fact of him being "very close to the best ruckman in Australia that wasn't getting regular AFL games in 2012" no matter how you look at it. And I didn't have to see any of the Coburg games to come up with plenty of facts to support my position. My definition of "a decent option as a backup" is someone who is capable of competing satisfactorily at the top level when required and even if they aren't capable of beating their opponent, at least compete to give your team a chance. Graham was never able to do that to anywhere near the level required so I will stay with my opinion that he wasn't "a decent option as a backup" at all. And none of that opinion is based on "hate" but all on fact and observation. Let's see how he steps up for Adelaide.
-
Graham had 63 hitouts in a game against Werribee. Not sure where you got your stats from but we do have our own club people who focus on only our players in those games. Their stats are more accurate. http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2012-05-08/the-coburg-report
"Angus Graham might be the best bloke that ever lived but his football achievements and record do not attest to the fact of him being "very close to the best ruckman in Australia that wasn't getting regular AFL games in 2012" no matter how you look at it"
How was he not in the top few? Andrew Browne as the sole ruckman in 2011 gave similar output to what Stephenson did last season. This isn't about Angus Graham hatred or love, it's about the Stephenson love in. He's done nothing our previous ruckman aren't capable of. After the Allstar game he was pathetic, now he could play every 4 weeks according to MT. I mean FFS, the thing he has over Gus consistently is 2nd efforts but even Gus had a crack some days. I've admitted Gus is not much good at the top level so why can't you admit Stephenson isn't either?
Enough of this: the rounded set of of figures that suggest he involved himself more than other 2nd string ruckman we have had over the past few years
Because as you proved with your "stats", that statement isn't true at all. He's in the same mold as Graham. A backup and nothing more unless the comp ever goes back to playing 2 rucks
-
In fairness to Graham's average he had Big Browney and Derickx rucking with him.*
*No idea on Stephenson he could have had an army of rucks playing with him in the VFL.

Pretty sure their stats aren't going to be too far off the mark.
We had a total of 50 hitouts (Graham 42 Derickx 5), Werribee had a total of 49 hitouts (Daw 27 Sullivan 14) and Werribee won by 51 points. Graham wasn't named in our best players. I know which set of figures sounds far more plausible.

I've admitted Gus is not much good at the top level so why can't you admit Stephenson isn't either?
I'm not espousing a Stephenson love-in but I am challenging your assertion that Graham was very close to the best ruckman. I believe there were a number of ruckmen that were better, Graham was serviceable at the VFL level, nothing more. He had good support, experience, size and strength on his side and still couldn't make himself stand out. And I didn't bother checking the other interstate comps - SANFL and WAFL especially. This year we'll see how he stacks up against a few of those boys. I'm prepared to give Stephenson some leeway given this is only his 2nd year in the system and he already has shown he outperforms Graham at the level below.

I believe my stats did prove that Stephenson is better than Graham at that level - time will tell if he is a better senior backup option than Graham but Graham had 6 years to prove himself and failed miserably, Stephenson at least deserves a couple of seasons before we pigeon-hole him as Gus MkII.
-

*No idea on Stephenson he could have had an army of rucks playing with him in the VFL.
Yeah, he had Dawson Simpson partner him in most VFL games T2011 and Simpson's stats were similar to Graham's. Also had Vardy and Blicavs at times.
-
Haha. You lost all balance when you said Graham was only serviceable at VFL level. Horrible comment, especially when you never saw him play there. I actually like what BigO brings to the table as a backup. He is a gun at VFL level. So was Graham. But there ain't much difference between what they can do and Stephenson is 30, not a young ruckman. He's been around a long time

What a joke.
The sooner we get our reserves side back the better. It also annoys me that the bombers already has a team in this year and we should've had a reserves team as early as last year but despite the problems associated with a mediocre administration at coburg, the club thought it a good idea to extend the contract for another term.
This coburg alignment was always stupid shortsighted & mediocre and teams like Geelong and Collingwood new this to be true along time ago.

All AFL listed players had to seek permission from he AFL to play this weekend and have a legitimate excuse to do so. All our players listed have had very limited pre season game time and as most are comming back fom injury time so it makes sence they get a run this weekend. It is the same across all clubs.

VFL 2013: The state of the clubs
Brent Diamond
The Age
March 24, 2013
COBURG TIGERS
Last year: 11th
Predicted finish: 13th
The story so far: Entering the final year of its alignment with Richmond, Coburg will have a new coach - Tigers development coach Tim Clarke - and is trying to save cash so it can go it alone next year.
The X-factor: Orren Stephenson - The mature age rookie has recently been upgraded onto Richmond's primary list but he may also play a significant part at Coburg this season.
Why they'll fail: Not enough ammunition. The mature-age rookies - Sam Lonergan and Ricky Petterd - will help but there will be a huge reliance on the Richmond-listed players.
Why we care: Coburg has great multicultural links and will be right behind Adam Saad, who is a pocket-rocket that will be on the AFL radar this year.

and we didn't in the first or 3rd?

Apparently Lonergan did a hammy.I wonder if he was standing next to Grimes when it snapped?
-
Your bloody joking
-
Got there a few minutes into the 1st, so missed Lonergan doing his hammy.
This ground is freaken massive,as a friend of mine said you could have put the goal posts on the wings and still not lose any distance.The ground was windswept,so both teams defended on one side of the ground when against the wind and attacked on the other side when with the wind.BOx hill seemed to be cleaner and more direct with their disposal.Coburg seemed to always do one handball too many and a lot to players not expecting it.
Of our boys....I liked arnotts game plays the game hard ,maybe a little too hard at times.
Grimes was a maestro as usual,maybe his disposal was just a little rusty,but otherwise ran freely and at times at full tilt.
Big Derricks in the ruck pulled in some big marks ,but his disposal was just plain awful.
Now i saw a player who i think was helbig.Now this kid when he runs at the ball always does it at full tilt and doesnt matter whether theres a brick wall or mick nolan in front of him he will go through it,i can now see why dimma keeps picking him.
Loved Kingy juniors game too,like his bro he's hard at it
Sorry if i left anyone out as i didnt recognise a lot of them
.I was sitting on the grass at about half back /half forward.Behind me was kingy with his folks i think,Dimma,Chocco.Chocco was very vocal at times and would bark directions when the ball was near him

Good to see Arnot getting a bit of it. Can't remember what his stats were like last year but I'm just assuming its getting better :thumbsup

Yep, he looked alright in the NAB Cup too. Had he kicked those 2 against the Bombers he'd be a little more spoken for.

Lmfao at Carlton fans that thought laidler would have made a difference on Thursday. Azza tears him a new one.

Interesting that Coburg was full of RFC players today and won easy. Hopefully it stays that way during the real stuff of the VFL season.
Seems Arnot, O'Hanlon, Helbig, Vlastuin and the Big O played well. Good to hear.

we have got some serious depth down there just quietly :shh

I went out to Preston to watch the boys win easily today, and overall was pretty pleased with our depth, with more than half a dozen players putting their hand up for senior selection. These included Grimes, Vlastuin, Stevenson, White, Edwards, Arnott and Knights. As well as this, on what I saw today Elton looks to be progressing well, and even Derryckx(?) took a couple of really strong grabs.
Okay, so we know Grimes doesn't have to win over the selectors. It's more a case of just getting the games into him and he'll come straight in. But one or two of the others who I felt were unlucky to miss out the other night (Vlastuin and White in particular) really played with an intensity which suggested they had a point to prove.
We pretty much dominated all day, building our lead slowly at first, and, like the seniors, frittering away a lot of opportunities in front of goal.( There was one comical shot on goal at the Market end in the 2nd quarter, where a Coburg-listed player was awarded a free dead in front for his opponent walking through a behind under no pressure. And somehow he managed to kick into the man on the mark from the goalsquare. )
But by 3/4 time with Stevenson dominating Warnock in the ruck, our mids killing them at the stoppages, and Edwards having a purple patch with 4 goals for the quarter, we went in with a 62 point lead. Along with Hardwick and Williams, it was pleasing to see a large number of Richmond players in attendance, including King, Morris, Ellis and Batchelor. Dimma had a long conversation with Vlastuin at the 3/4 time huddle. Williams admonished the defenders for being too "fancy-schmancy" (his words) on one occasion, before praising their overall effort. And even Batchelor took the defenders aside and gave them a few tips which was good to see.
From there we put our cue in the rack a bit, with Grimes and Stevenson finished for the day, and as such the Bullants managed 5 unanswered goals in the first 15 minutes. But just as I was thinking "here we go again" the boys hit back with 2 quick ones, then managed to ice the clock pretty effectively for the last 5-8 minutes or so to finish with the big win they deserved.

What did you make of Bradley helbig ?

Did Coburg win???

Looks like lock-up has found his niche

I didn't notice him. But this isn't necessarily an indictment of his game, as I didn't have a team sheet and couldn't recognize some of the new(ish) players in their Coburg jumpers.

Young Arnot is developing nicely! All the boys mentioned in the stats had a day out! Opposition must have been poor. The faster we get a reserves side in the better!

We basically had a reserves side playing as Coburg on Saturday - 19 RFC blokes played.
In the VFL comp if the opposition was/is poor it makes no difference whether we are the RFC playing the Northern Blues (Carlton's twos seeing they've bascially taken over Preston) or Coburg is playing them the result would be the same

Matty Dea :shh

The last official dealings Richmond will have with Coburg are over with Coburg's B&F last night:
The Jake King Award for best Richmond player went to Robin Nahas.
