Coburg vs Box Hill --- Sat. April 27

[YellowandBlackBlood]

From BF:
Loved Arnot's game. When he tackles he wants to hurt his opponent, did a couple of massive legal bumps too. Works well through traffic. (Had a little altercation with a BH player on the boundary right in front of me in the last qtr. "you've been an AFL player for 5 years now and you haven't played a game, coz you're a effin fat useless C". Classic by him, has some fire in the belly.

Gold!

Didn't influence who won

From before the bounce to the final siren, the breeze played no part in the outcome

If you cant work that out you have NFI

You're moving the goalposts again gerks and putting words in my mouth I never said. I never said Box Hill won because of the breeze; I simply said at 3/4 time that it was game over with Box Hill in front and having the strong breeze in the last qtr. You called me a "flog" for saying that even though I was shown to be right. You're the one who also said "the breeze had no influence on the game" even though it clearly affected the ability to score on the day as shown by the number of scoring shots with and into the breeze and it affected the way Coburg played as they had no plan B for the breeze other than going wide and bombing it long.  Anyway time to move on from such a trivial issue.

I agree with Gerks

I agree with one eyed as he is the one who gets off his backside every week and keeps us up to date on the site.
Easy to take pot shots from the cheap seats and high five each other with your own one eye firmly in your hands fellas.

Don't be such a stuffing prude

He looks the goods his young fella, not unlike Brett moloney...he ll get his chance 

[Tiger Tragic]

I like how he has high clearance numbers but also high inside 50 numbers. Reminds me of Cogs as a player.

Coburg coach Tim Clarke's summary of how the Richmond-listed players performed at Coburg last Saturday:

Matt Arnot

Had another really good game.  Picked up 28 possessions (including eight clearances and seven inside-50s) and provided plenty of run and carry.  Also was very hard around the stoppages.

David Astbury

Played an important role across half-back, in his second game back from injury.  Was third man in for most of the match, took quite a few chop-out marks, and used the ball well offensively.

Ben Darrou

Again was terrific down back, limiting the influence of talented Hawthorn-listed forward Sam Grimley, and gathering 27 possessions himself.   His decision-making with the ball was a real highlight.

Matt Dea

After flying back on the “red eye” from Perth, where he was an emergency for Richmond against Fremantle, he was one of our best players.  Defended extremely well and also provided plenty of run off half-back, finishing the game with 27 touches.

Tom Derickx

Competed well in the ruck and up forward.   Had a strong presence at the contests, but needs to mark the ball more frequently.

Aaron Edwards

Once again was clearly our best forward, kicking 5.2.  Could have had an even bigger impact on the scoreboard, if he’d been able to hold on to a few more marks.

Todd Elton

Presented well on the lead early, but failed to impact the game on a consistent basis.

Nathan Foley

Was excellent throughout the three quarters he played, as he continued his comeback from that serious Achilles injury of last year.  Gave the side plenty of his trademark, dashing run through the midfield, collecting 28 possessions (including seven clearances).

Ben Griffiths

Played his full-back role okay from a defensive viewpoint.  Offensively, however, his ball use was not at his usual high standard, and he contributed to far too many turnovers.

Sam Lonergan

Returned from several weeks on the sidelines with injury and was really good in his inside-midfield role for two quarters, before being rested.  Hardness around the contest was a key highlight of his performance.

Liam McBean

Started impressively with two goals and was a really good option for us up forward.  Doesn’t yet have the required work-rate to turn this into a consistent, four-quarter effort, but is looking better each week.

Matt McDonough

Played centre-forward, after being used down back the previous few weeks.  Kicked two telling goals and had five clearances in his 18 possessions.  Close to his best game at VFL level.

Kamdyn McIntosh

Was good in his role across half-back.  Defended well all day and had a season-high 24 touches.

Brett O’Hanlon

Started the game well on a wing, before injuring his ankle.  Will be out of action now for 4-6 weeks.

Orren Stephenson

Yet again was the standout big man on the ground.  Competed hard at the centre bounces and stoppages, winning 28 hit-outs, and also collected 19 possessions around the ground.

Steve Verrier

Played wing and half-back.  Found it hard to find space and was beaten a few times by his direct opponent.  Needs to be more composed.

Every time I see McBean, I can't help but get excited.

Once he adds a few more kilos and builds his endurance I think we'll have a special one on our hands.

Have to agree wayne - looks the goods as long as the extra muscle he puts on doesn't reduce his agility too.

McDonough is the player I'm most interested in. His highlight reel was very exciting. If he can learn to crumb more rather than go for the pack mark he could be the answer to the mercurial small forward we have been crying out for. At the moment though he plays as a small big man - leading, marking and kicking goals - won't cut it against tall seasoned defenders.

Dea deserves another crack at it instead of Petterd imo. Love to see Arnot get a game too but in whose place I don't know?

Would love to see Vlastuin, King, Morris and Arnot in the same team.....Talk about hard nuts!
