Cats dish out 72-point hiding to Tigers
March 7, 2008 - 7:37PM
Geelong have embarrassed Richmond to the tune of 72 points in an AFL practice match at Skilled Stadium.
A fourteen goal first half set up the hiding, with the Cats booting 23.11 (149) to Richmond's 12.5 (77).
Fielding 16 members of last year's premiership side, the Cats produced another clinical performance to savagely dent the Tigers' confidence heading into round one against Carlton.
Geelong had winners all over ground, with midfielders James Kelly and Jimmy Bartel controlling the middle, while Cameron Mooney booted four goals in a dominating performance in attack.
A busy effort from Brent Prismall around the packs and three goals to Ryan Gamble enhanced their claims for selection in Geelong's opening round clash against Port Adelaide at AAMI stadium.

Coughlan returns for hapless Tigers
7/03/2008 7:00:26 PM
Paul Gough at Skilled Stadium
Sportal
Mark Coughlan made a successful return from his second knee re-construction but that was about the only good news for an embattled Richmond as they copped yet another mauling from reigning premiers Geelong in both team's final hit-out before the start of the AFL home and away season on March 20.
And on the evidence of Geelong's effortless 23.11 (155) to 12.5 (77) victory over the spiritless Tigers at Skilled Stadium on Friday, it looks like little has changed for either side heading into 2008.
For a side with plenty to prove going into 2008 and with the future of coach Terry Wallace firmly on the line, the Tigers showed nothing with this defeat following on from an equally inept first round display in the NAB Cup against St Kilda.
But at least there was some good news in the return of 2003 best and fairest winner Coughlan, who has played just 41 games in the past four years due to first groin problems and then two serious knee injuries.
Coughlan spent most of the game on the bench in his senior return but moved well when on the ground and his mark and goal in the second term was a much-needed morale boost for long-suffering Tigers' fans.
While there was nothing else positive to report for the Tigers, Geelong is shaping to be the same unstoppable force in 2008 as it was last year.

INJURIES: Geelong: Nil
Richmond: Nil
And while it was disappointing that we weren't more competitive over 4 quarters, that's the only news that's really important tonight.

Yep smokey thankfully we got through the preseason relatively unscathed when other clubs have lost blokes to knees and whatnot. The Blues for instance have lost Fisher and Walker with question marks on Stevens .

Therefore round 1 we have no excuses we have virtually a full list to pick from whereas the Navy Blue Mucus have injury clouds over key players.
Nevertheless no injuries is always a positive.

Cats all class as Tigers labour
Nick Sheridan | March 8, 2008
CONVENTIONAL wisdom says you can't read too much into pre-season form. But when you are looking at two teams for whom, to all outward appearances, nothing seems to have changed over the summer, it is hard not to start drawing conclusions.
Such was the case yesterday afternoon when Geelong beat Richmond by 72 points at Skilled Stadium.
First, the good news. The Cats are still a force to be reckoned with. Their pressure is first rate, their disposal is clean, and they work together beautifully.
So well, in fact, it was hard to pick a stand-out. The midfield was superb — Jimmy Bartel, Gary Ablett, Cameron Ling and David Wojcinski all showed they are capable of brilliance. And then there was the forward line.
Cam Mooney was solid with four goals, and Steve Johnson is just one of those players who makes you wonder what on earth he is thinking the moment before he swings the ball on to his boot and slots through an improbable goal, as he did twice yesterday.
James Kelly was superb, but not just up forward — he also spends valuable time in defence and sweeping through the centre of the ground, and youngster Ryan Gamble was very promising with three goals.
Yet, as always with the Cats, it did not end there. All told, there were 13 goalkickers for the Cats, seven of those with multiple majors beside their name.
For Richmond the news was not so good. The day started well, as the Tigers caught the Cats napping in the first five minutes, with new recruit Mitch Morton scoring the first two goals. He put on a show for the first, taking a screamer and slotting it through, then finished calmly after a good pass from Kayne Pettifer for the second.
But this little spark from the Tigers woke up the home side with a start and it proceeded to do what it does best, kicking the next six goals straight — through five different players, as it does — and applying excellent pressure right across the ground.
From there the Tigers spent the next three quarters collapsing in on themselves. They overused the ball time and again with series of endless handballs that did not seem to go anywhere.
When they did find the space to move, it was often backwards. Those rare sorties forward were almost always cut short by the follies of imprecise disposal or the solid performance of the Cats' defence.
One positive for the Tigers was the return of midfielder Mark Coughlan, who is back after a nightmare run of two consecutive knee reconstructions that has kept him out of contention for more than a year.
While he started on the bench, he did get some good game time playing through the middle, gathering a handful of touches and kicking one goal.
Brett Deledio showed flashes of promise, with two goals, and new recruit Jordan McMahon picked up plenty of touches across half-back in the first half, although mainly due to a wealth of opportunity as the Cats continually ran the ball into attack.
Matthew Richardson laboured hard all day, and finished with three goals, although they were all scored in the final quarter, well after the result had been decided against the Tigers.
Predictably, neither side was prepared to make too much of then result, but Richmond coach Terry Wallace was reasonably frank in his assessment.
"You're playing the best side in the competition. I can assure the other sides in the competition that they're up and running and ready to go."

Cats primed for round one
March 7, 2008 - 9:41PM
Geelong will begin their premiership defence full of confidence after destroying Richmond by 72 points in their final practice match of the AFL pre-season at Skilled Stadium.
An eight-goal-to-two second term into the wind set up the win for the Cats, who were fielding 16 members of last year's premiership side.
The Cats were 90 points up at the final change before taking the foot off the accelerator in the final term.
Geelong assistant coach Ken Hinkley said the team is now primed for their first round assignment against last year's grand finalists Port Adelaide at AAMI stadium.
"The whole pre-season, part of the NAB Cup is to build up and be ready for round one and we certainly got that from today," Hinkley said.
"We got the game and time into the players we needed to because it's all based around round one."
The Cats had winners all over the ground against last year's wooden spooners.
Led by James Kelly and Brownlow medallist James Bartel in the middle, Geelong's run and attacking game plan proved unstoppable.
With Luke McGuane, Jay Schulz and Graham Polak all missing for the Tigers, Cameron Mooney dominated in attack, hauling in plenty of marks and booting four goals.
Gary Ablett and Matthew Scarlett made successful returns for the Cats, while Brent Prismall and Ryan Gamble enhanced their claims for selection for round one.
Prismall was busy around the packs and Gamble bobbed up with three goals to go with his five from last week.
Tigers coach Terry Wallace tried to put a positive spin on the result but admitted his disappointment with his side's effort in the second term.
"The game had blown out in one quarter of footy," he said.
"Every side that had the breeze won the quarter by in the twenties.
"So they won the first quarter in the twenties, they won the third quarter in the twenties, when we had the opportunity (to kick with the breeze) by all rights we should have won the third quarter by in the twenties (but) we lost it by 50 and that just buggered the game.
"I can assure the other sides in the competition that they're up an running and ready to go and I'm very thankful we don't have to come back here. We played them at Telstra Dome when they have their home game."
In his first senior match back from a knee injury, Tigers onballer Mark Coughlan got through the game unscathed.

More of same as Cats maul Tigers
Scott Gullan | March 08, 2008 12:00am
SIX months on and nothing has changed - on both fronts. Geelong still appears to be a class above its rivals and Richmond still appears to be, well, the same outfit that collected the wooden spoon last year.
The Tigers hierarchy may trot out "it's only a practice match," which is fair enough, but given they have to front up in 13 days for the real stuff, yesterday's workout at Skilled Stadium was a disaster.
After kicking the opening two goals of the game through former Eagle Mitch Morton, the Tigers managed only three more for the first half as Geelong piled on 14.
The reigning premiers led by 90 points at three-quarter time and then put the cue in the rack, allowing Richmond to kick six goals to three with the final result still a humiliating 23.11.149 to 12.5.77 defeat.
Cameron Mooney kicked four for the home side, which had 13 goalkickers.
At the other end Matthew Richardson typically gave his all, kicking three goals, two in the final term.
The most disturbing fact for Richmond coach Terry Wallace was his line-up was virtually at full-strength with only Graham Polak watching from the sidelines.
Afterwards, Wallace was counting his lucky stars he didn't have to travel back down to Skilled Stadium again this year.
"Look, you're playing the best side in the competition who beat the second best side in the competition by 100 points last year and I can assure the other sides that they are up and running and ready to go," Wallace said.
"I am very thankful that we don't have to come back here for the year, we play them at Telstra Dome for their home game. Good luck to others who want to come down here and challenge."
The Tigers coach said a "horrid" second quarter blew the match out. "I didn't think we wrecked the other (quarters)," Wallace said.
"It looked much worse than what it actually is. The second quarter was disappointing and the rest of the game was about what I thought the rest of the game ought to be."
The big positive for the Tigers was the return of midfielder Mark Coughlan in his first game since 2006. He started on the bench and kicked a goal in the second quarter but more importantly got through unscathed.
Geelong rested four of its premiership stars - Brad Ottens, Joel Selwood, Mathew Stokes and Max Rooke - but didn't miss a beat with its much-vaunted midfield showing no signs of any hangover from last year.
Brownlow medallist Jimmy Bartel and Gary Ablett started on the bench and then did what they liked when they got into a midfield that Cameron Ling and James Kelly already had under control.
The tag team of Mooney and Tom Hawkins - who looks leaner and more agile - showed promise while Norm Smith medallist Steve Johnson toyed with the Richmond defence.
Ryan Gamble, who kicked three goals, and midfielder Brent Prismall again looked good and first-round draft pick Harry Taylor also showed he would be able to fill the role as third or fourth tall defender should Matthew Egan not get up and running.
The only injury concern for the Cats was David Wojcinski who injured his finger late in the third quarter and sat out the rest of the game.

i don't read much into Scott Gullan's drivel
Heard him on SEN last night while stuck in traffic and it was half time and his take on things is that nothing things change, there were no positives and he wanted to go home.
When asked about Cogs he said "well he is running around". Give me a break the bloke hasn't played for 2 years and the best you can say is "he;s running around"? :banghead
Pathetic
-
Just spoken to an independant ""observer"" at the game.. Said that Richmond were a rabble and Geelong should have won by a lot more.
Game plan was non-existent and players were arguing with each other.
Not good!
-
well if he is saying that about Cogs & he aint played for 2 years you being a Tiger supporter would prefer to see him earn his spot in a Coburg side before getting a game given to him infront of players who have also trained & played for 2 years & deserve that spot till he proves he can play 100% hard football
surely no AFL footballer deserves to be nursed through games before a kid at 100%
lesson learned from the Dragacevic & the Tony Free sarga surely

Cats outgun Tigers
Ben Casanelia
Fri 07 March, 2008
GEELONG has thrashed Richmond by 72 points in their NAB Challenge match at Skilled Stadium on Friday evening.
In one of the pre-season’s most lop-sided encounters, the Tigers kicked the opening two goals of the game and then sat back as Geelong piled on 14 of the next 17 goals to lead by 62 points at the half.
By three-quarter time the margin reached an embarrassing 90 points as Richmond’s confidence and structure disintegrated.
The Tigers outscored the Cats six goals to two in the final term but it was truly a case of too little, too late.
It was anything but what coach Terry Wallace ordered in the side’s final tune up before facing Carlton in the season opener at the MCG.
So bad were Richmond that despite having more possessions than the Cats in the opening half, they were outscored 14 goals to five and rarely looked threatening while in possession.
Shane Tuck and Kane Johnson tried hard, but too often their touches were under pressure and ill-directed.
Nathan Brown had just three possessions in the opening half and was forced to roam well up the field after half-time in order to get into the game. He did so but with minimal impact.
Matthew Richardson had a day to forget opposed to Harry Taylor and Darren Milburn, but to his credit, kept battling away and was rewarded with three final term goals.
Brett Deledio was again played forward for the majority of the match, but was moved into the midfield at times during the second half to give his side some life.
A rare bright spot was the form of diminutive back pocket Jake King. Playing with zest and purpose, the 23-year-old showed up many of his more experienced teammates with a solid defensive effort.
At the very least, the Tigers emerged from the match injury free.

Its not very funny actually.
The person was there in an offical compacity

Jack it is funny ... From where I am sitting at least it is... and I'll explain why
Where were your independant observers the last 2 weeks when we won ??? Deafly silent it would seem
It seems you only quote them when they independantly report the bad, never hear a word when there maybe something good and the best example has to be the Sydeny game (who had a very strong side in BTW) but we hear nothing ...
So as a result of this lop sided "independant observing" I just have to laugh because it is so blatantly biased it is funny :thumbsup
-
an umpire.
And he didnt umpire the other games
Don't care who he is or what he does.....point is we only hear about these "observers" when we lose not when we win
Fact is (I had to throw it in somewhere ;D) is that when you only chose to use info when it is in the negative the argument doesn't carry as much weight. Why? Because it can only be viewed as being biased not balanced and lacks credibility.... which I find very funny indeed.

Oh, did have feedback against Melb, the dees were disgraceful
-
Oh, did have feedback against Melb, the dees were disgraceful
And Richmond were......
That's the point Jack....
Richmond win.. there's nothing from you apart from the Dees were disgraceful....
What about the game against Sydney ??? Let me guess the Swans were disgraceful ::)
-
Swans played ok.
What was of interest that they didnt push players back as they usually do.
And they didnt rotate there high forwards through the corridor.
Can tell you that as I have a tape of the game

Yes great not interested in the Sawns what about the Tigers Jack ???
You have no hesitation in putting the boots in when they lose how about something about them when they win.. I would have thought they would have had to have done something right or did the Swans tank ;D
Were there any positives in that game :whistle
-
Yep there was.
Thought Newman Tambling and King were good.
Jordon McMahon was terrible.
best game from Tambling for ages, although he will need to put three or four games together and to take guys on.
They actually experiemented with a few players which was good( for once)

ah Jackstar you are so transparent it isnt funny, you and your comments always pop up on cue.
well from my sources within the club and the playing group, as i was at the game on friday i can assure you there wasnt any arguing.
you independant observer perhaps likes to fabricate things. :shh, just to get a response from certain people.

you and your tired old 33's need a new needle.

I will buy a new needle as long as I can buy you a new wooden spoon :thumbsup

..... as long as I can buy you a new wooden spoon :thumbsup
Which you will then need to borrow so you can eat your large serving of humble pie! :lol
-
l can give you some jackstar my wife gets them custom made for me by this guy who does them every year
l got 2 now 2004 & 2007
plus all the ones my mates dropped off l can share them around :lol :lol
Now here is something for them Jack just go back to the post after the spoon in 2004 how good is all gunna get when Suntanned terry is comming
all this bla bla that we going to get better after we got the 2004 spoon & now here we are 3 years later being pumped up the old poo shute again cause we are the owners of another spoon while Carlton gets the best draft pick in the land for tanking & we get nothing for our poor finish & we were not tanking l been told so many times
Now we have got a broken Cotchin who aint even served us yet but we drafted him broken anyway & thats real clever cause we could have taken the next best & drafted Cotchin next year cause we going to finished bottom again & he wont be playing much this year & then we got David Gourdis playing Coburg Reserves ??? l mean wtf do we draft at this club :lol a player with pre season draft#1 to play Coburg Reserves ??? is he that good & then we got Mitch Morton a draftee several years ago same year as Deledio 2004 he was pick 44 Father/Son by West Coast & his played 12 games since then while Deledio has played 62 games & Tambling 53 games & shown nothing & so dont go getting all excited over this lad Morton if he only managed 12 games he sounds like another Pettifer might take a few marks & kick a goal or 2 l hope he can defend the forward line as well
once he see that life at RFC is not a winning culture like the Eagles his head will drop
McMahon how come l always seem to forget to mention him ??? & Rance l aint even heard much about him can he play pick #18 gee l would have snagged that Selwood lad & then Dean Putt what his progress so there we go we get all excited about our draftees for what
l'm suprised that Richmond has listed players playing in the Coburg reserves that must be so confident boosting for the players
one mistake we made is letting go Hartigan cause l'm sure he going to pop up at Essendon next year
Sheeds be rolling into the club soon you watch they be begging for him to come help cause STW just dont cut it his a media man
:pray :pray :pray :
punctuation would be handy next time.
-
Now we have got a broken Cotchin who aint even served us yet but we drafted him broken anyway & thats real clever cause we could have taken the next best & drafted Cotchin next year cause we going to finished bottom again & he wont be playing much this year
You full quid? You're suggesting that if we passed on one the most promising midfielder in the country every other club would've too and we so we could get him next year??
That could be close to the stupidist thing Ive read on a forum.
then we got David Gourdis playing Coburg Reserves ??? l mean wtf do we draft at this club :lol a player with pre season draft#1 to play Coburg Reserves ??? is he that good
Athletics of a demon, get his endurance on track and we have a player. The PSD #1 is like the 80-ish pick you realise, he is a long term project. In the PSD there is nothing wrong with that.
then we got Mitch Morton a draftee several years ago same year as Deledio 2004 he was pick 44 Father/Son by West Coast & his played 12 games since then while Deledio has played 62 games & Tambling 53 games & shown nothing & so dont go getting all excited over this lad Morton if he only managed 12 games he sounds like another Pettifer might take a few marks & kick a goal or 2 l hope he can defend the forward line as well
Morton has been in the Eagles system who in that time won a flag, its a hard team to break into when you're a small, he performed extremly well in the WAFL, as much as would get a game in most teams, except the best. Why dont you give him a chance before judging?
& Rance l aint even heard much about him can he play pick #18 gee l would have snagged that Selwood lad
What the eff is that meant to mean when neither has played a game. :banghead
He has had an ankle problem, he's getting better from it.
Dean Putt what his progress so there we go we get all excited about our draftees for what
HE IS A effING RUCKMAN, HOW MANY FIRST YEAR RUCKMAN DO YOU SEE DOMINATING? :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
He's working with Monkhurst, sauce says he'll be playing Coburg seniors first round. Do you expect him to just walk up, and flog Simmo and Patto to their positions? :banghead :banghead :banghead
l'm suprised that Richmond has listed players playing in the Coburg reserves that must be so confident boosting for the players
one mistake we made is letting go Hartigan cause l'm sure he going to pop up at Essendon next year
Because no other club play their youngsters in their VFL reserves. ::) e.g. Bulldogs Tom Williams who went from VFL ressies to seniors and played well within 3 weeks.
lol, hartigan, if he wasnt taken this last year he never will be.
Tigermonk you are clearly a effwit with no clue. Go support Collingwood.

And so you should be :bow
Cos he still ain't answered your questions.
He might like his answers but I'm astonished his comments on our draftees
Without even seeing them they're duds apparently lol
Strange because the general consensus of our recruits was that they were the kids we wanted.
I might give them a couple of years before I'll even make a comment whether they're good or bad, let alone call them duds
Who'd wanna be a footballer these days with all the crap that's written about them.

i don't read much into Scott Gullan's drivel
Heard him on SEN last night while stuck in traffic and it was half time and his take on things is that nothing things change, there were no positives and he wanted to go home.
When asked about Cogs he said "well he is running around". Give me a break the bloke hasn't played for 2 years and the best you can say is "he;s running around"? :banghead
Pathetic
Yeah same I waited on an update and got that piece of crap report from Scott Gullen and then saw a complete complete article the next day. On SEN it was clear he'd barely been watching. ::)

Kane Johnson in awe of talent
Mark Stevens | March 18, 2008
BE afraid. Very afraid.
That is the clear warning from Richmond captain Kane Johnson as Geelong prepares for its premiership defence.
Johnson, who saw the scary Cats up close in a practice match 10 days ago, has predicted they will carry on from last season.
"They'll beat a lot of sides by very big margins, don't worry about that," Johnson said.
Johnson's Tigers were smashed by 72 points in the trial hitout at Skilled Stadium.
Asked if Geelong had improved on last year, Johnson said: "They're just very, very slick.
"Very even across the board and very in synch with each other.
"They're a very good side, don't worry about that."
Johnson has never been one for outlandish statements, but he spoke like a man in awe of Geelong's talent and depth.
"We've got a lot to do to get to their level," Johnson said.
Port Adelaide doesn't need to be reminded how scorching Geelong can be, losing the Grand Final by a record 119 points.
The Power fronts up to its demons on Thursday night at AAMI Stadium in the season-opener against the Cats.
Johnson's glowing appraisal followed an honest assessment by Richmond coach Terry Wallace.
"I am very thankful we don't have to come back here for the year," Wallace said after the loss.
"Look, you're playing the best side in the competition, who beat the second-best side in the competition by 100 points last year, and I can assure the other sides that they are up and running and ready to go."
