Coburg vs Collingwood, Sunday July 11

[Stripes]

If post doesnt come in, astbury could go forward for either of them to come in - assuming griffiths wont play.

That was my thoughts as well.

Post will play next week apparently

Disgraceful if true 

Gourdis deserves a game before Post gets another crack

Seriously - I try not to "pay out" on players I try and support them as much as possible, don't like bagging for the sake if it but.................

 

I am sick to death of watching this kid refuse to chase, show intensity at contest and simply not put any pressure on his opponent 

He stood out there today barking instructions to his team mates about picking up opponents, keeping the pressure on and then he point blank refuses to chase as blokes run off him especially when he relieved in the ruck

Here's a tip instend of telling everyone else what to do practice what you preach 

Going by the commentary only Rance and Browne showed anything today. Browne had to ruck against Fraser and Wood and Rance worked hard in defence. Post looked lively in the first but didn't appear to have much of an impact after that. Contin got a "not too bad" from the commentators. Jordie and Polo were Jordie and Polo.

Browne was very good not only did he have to contend with Fraser and Wood but he had to seal with the man mountian from the USA McNamara

I was impressed by Contin simply because he is a really decent size. The thing that let him down today was his decion making

Agree Jordie was Jordie but I am confused by the comments about Polo. He played really well today best game for quite a few weeks. I heard someone say "he had leather poisoning today" and a former AFL player say his game excellent

Was disappointed with Hicks - just didn't get into the grove of the game at all and looked lost against the more experienced Magpie players

Was very impressed with Mitch Morton's game - best for quite sometime

As for the other listed "Bests" well in a word  To see Piuselli (a Coburg listed player) & Sam Power have been named in the best says to me that either I was watching a complete different game or the bests in part are based solely on the number of posessions not what people do with them

I went to the game and felt Polo was easily one of our best too! He looked solid across half back all game! I agree, WP, Morton was good today and BrownE was good too! I thought Postie started real well with a nice contested mark and goal but then dropped off. He seems disinterested and not to be enjoying his his footy. I noticed also that when most players were rotated off that they were all blowing hard but when Jordy was rotated off he didnt even have a sweat up! Also, when the players come off they give each other a little 'high five' but Jordy never did!? I love the fact that our Irish import wears sunscreen on a cloudy day that is lucky to reach double figures in temperature! WP, of the coburg listed players i thought Rayson and Carnell were the best!?

[Judge Roughneck]

rance is ok as a defensive forward, and it would not hurt trying gourdis in the forward line due to his pace

Disappointing given it was a winnable game being up a goal at half-time. We really didn't make the most of our two quarters with the breeze. Wasted the first 10 minutes in the first quarter and did bugger all in the third with it.

Thanks OE and WP! If ever there was a game to shine it was this one. I'll be interested to see if they play him anyway but I hope not. I would love to Gourdis get a chance otherwise, going on your report, Rance.

The In's and outs will be worth waiting for.

The problem for Goo and Rance is our defence is playing well so there's no room in the inn for them to come in. They're not forwards either so yeah the ins and outs this week are going to be interesting.

I thought Rayson was terrific and he didn't gey mentioned in the best either - message there i reckon 

Nick Carnell is just a fantastic leader and it shows every week.

Also like Morgan's game - great story is Morgs after the horrific broken leg he suffered a few years ago

I don't know where all this anti-Post vitriol comes from. He started really well, but faded,sure. But that description pretty much sums up Coburg's day in a nutshell.
Bear in mind that he was not only helping out in the ruck, but was also virtually playing a lone hand as a tall forward marking option, because Polak who was the biggest disappointment of the day, couldn't hold a mark all afternoon. But then what do I know? I'd had enough by the 15 min mark of the last qtr and went home.
I too would like to see Gourdis play for Richmond next week. Perhaps they could play him forward, or send Astbury forward to slot him in down back. Browne deserves a run too. Has done for several weeks.
Incidentally, Grimes did play, because I saw his name on the white board at the 1/4 time huddle. This isn't a put down, it's just that I follow the forwards from end to end, so I tend not to notice the work the defenders do as much.
