Coburg vs Frankston, Sunday April 18

[Ramps]

Coburg seniors losing to Frankston though   


2010 VFL Seniors

Frankston        4.6  8.8  12.8-80
Coburg Tigers   1.2  3.5  8.7-55

Thats a joke

Considering the amount of senior players down there I fully agree its a joke even moreso Id say its disgraceful. Hardwick should cut one or two. Needs to continue to make change.

Problem I have Ramps is this.
The whole playing group as gone backwards.
How on earth Frankston beat Coburg is beyond belief.

In my opinion-

Hardwick needs to ask Simmonds to retire this week and he needs to cut one or two of the list including McMahon. Theres no point keeping players if they are unable to make a contribution or the coach doesnt think they can. I can see another 10-12 blokes getting the arse in September.

With thanks to Fishfinger who watched both Coburg games.....


In the seniors were Polo, Nahas, Roberts, Polak, McGuane, Cousins, Foley, Graham, Gourdis, Browne, Webberley, King,

First quarter - Coburg spanked in general play


In Ressies - Hicks, Griffiths (#37), Westhoff, McMahon, Contin, O'Rielly

Griffiths took some strong grabs. Was out marked by Westhoff a few times.

Grimes took a sensational mark backing into the pack in the second quarter.

FF's bests:

King - nearly won the game with his last quarter.
Roberts - class
Foley.

To lose to a bunch of Frankston ammos is just plain embarrassing  . Frankston had a huge number of players walkout over summer and there was even talk at one stage of Goosey at 40 having to be playing coach.

Wow, 7 goals in the last.

Against a 3 goal breeze which sprung up at 3/4 time.

Hit the front with about 2 minutes to go. Tried the possession game to wind down the clock. A howler of a turnover by a Richmond-listed player, who I've never seen it the backline before, as he ran across the goals and short passed straight to a Frankston player who slotted the winning goal (was a bloody good goal, just quietly).
Coburg didn't deserve to win but I would have enjoyed seeing the feral Frankston fans with the primary school sense of humour (a fair proportion of the crowd) laughing on the other side of their faces.
Did I mention feral?

Well, who was the player ?

[Fishfinger]

I'm Nahot telling. 

Can't blame him for not winning. Just bad timing to stuff up.
The first half seemed to be going through the motions and expecting things to just happen. Once they got a wriggle on half way through the 3rd quarter when 7 goals down they'd given Frankston a mighty big head start and some confidence.

well in a perverse way, I am glad it was him, he is one of the last players I wanna see back in the seniors....glad to hear of Hicks prominent form in the thirds..and the Hoff

turnover of players on mass, and this is the position we are left in. we have no depth at all.

Dolphins just hold off Tigers
BRENT DIAMOND
April 19, 2010
 
FRANKSTON showed great resilience to win its first game of the season by four points in a finals-like atmosphere at Frankston Oval against the Coburg Tigers yesterday.

The Dolphins led by 25 points at the last change before a Tiger resurgence - stemmed in the midfield from Ben Cousins, Nathan Foley and a shift to the forward line from Jake King - cost them the lead twice before winning, 15.11 (101) to 15.7 (97).

Benny Lean, a 20-year-old from Frankston, scored the match-winner after King kicked three last-quarter goals and Relton Roberts threatened to steal the game with his blistering pace.

''He was down back and he actually cost us a couple of goals and I got into him a bit and it was good that he was able to come back and to come through the midfield and score that goal was magnificent,'' Dolphins coach Simon Goosey said.

At Frankston yesterday, Richmond's Ben Cousins, who was handed a one-week club ban and a spell at Coburg Tigers, racked up 28 disposals in front of almost 5000 fans.

Cousins was on song against Frankston as he helped turn on a second-half, midfield-driven revival at Coburg, along with Nathan Foley, who was playing his first VFL senior game after a reserves match last week.

Big crowd watches Ben Cousins

THREE of the disgraced Richmond quartet suspended for misconduct after the side's nine-goal loss to Sydney last week pulled on the boots for VFL affiliate Coburg yesterday, with mixed results.

Controversial midfielder Ben Cousins, Luke McGuane and Dean Polo, all dumped from the senior side for one week, headed to Frankston Park to tackle the Dolphins in front of a bumper VFL crowd.

The fourth suspended player, instigator Daniel Connors, has seven weeks left of his senior suspension to serve and it is unknown when he will again be allowed to play at any level.

About 7000 people flocked to see Cousins in action -- an enormous turnout given the plight of Frankston.

Cousins started on the wing and racked up 28 possessions in the Tigers four-point loss, but his impact on the game was limited.

The vocal crowd was unforgiving and came to life when the Brownlow medallist was pinged for holding the ball in the first term, resulting in the Dolphins' third goal.

Polo tried hard and will push for senior recall. McGuane was rarely sighted.

Coburg coach David Newett acknowledged the leadership of Cousins.

"(Cousins) was OK. He got a run under his belt, but I'm hoping he's like the rest of the boys and disappointed with the result," Newett said.

Coburg hired security for its rooms and secretly whisked Cousins away after the match before speaking to the media.
