If Post cant fire up soon then we should get rid of him, big men who dont have the blood boiling are no good. Is going backwards at a rate of knots from what weve seen in his games at Richmond, if hes no good at Coburg well ...maybe we are just wasting our time. Trade him if thats the case!

Embarrassing Ramps.

"Big Men".... hes' 20 mate. KP take time...

"Contin was the instigator of geeing up the midfield group at the last change. He was saying things like, Don't take any poo from these blokes, if you run past them just hit'em, bash into'em. I like it."

If he doesnt have a passion for the contest then whats the point? He is a big Key Position player, needs to be looking at going through afew opponents and busting a couple of packs, instead Im seeing marks being dropped, footys running through his legs and a young bloke who according to some in here thinks hes a rock star!

AFTER two close losses in the opening two rounds of the season Coburg finally notched a win with a one-goal victory over arch rivals Box Hill at Highgate Recreation Reserve on Saturday.

In another tight and see-sawing match the Tigers trailed the Hawks by five points at the first break but fought back to reverse this to be in front by five at half-time.

Again the Hawks came at the Tigers and led by eight points going into the final term but the home side held on in the final quarter for a 14.10 (94) to 13.10 (88) victory.

Richmond-listed players Mitch Morton and Jacob King kicked three goals each for Coburg.

Fellow Richmond players Dean Polo and Daniel Connors along with Justin Kahledfeldt and David Gourdis were impressive for the Tigers, while Luke Breust kicked five goals and Sam Gibson chipped in with three for the Hawks.

Coburg coach David Newett said the win was a team effort.

"The boys really stuck at it, were resilient and had learnt their lessons from previous weeks where we had two really close losses," Newett said.

"Those losses just made them hungrier to win.

"The whole list contributed and we played well as a team."

He added the win was made more special as it was the club's first VFL game to be played at Highgate Recreation Reserve.

"The win will be one the club will remember for a long time because the Coburg-Box Hill game is also becoming an Anzac tradition which is helping to build some great rivalry.

"The boys really enjoyed the win."

After three rounds the Tigers is in ninth position with one win and two losses.

This weekend it will meet the undefeated Sandringham away from home.

"We've got a tough month ahead and Sandringham is going to be hard to beat at home - they've got some key players we're obviously going to have to look at," Newett said.

"It's going to be a tough ask but the guys have shown that when we are at our best we can be competitive against any side."

Round 3 Match Report

Seniors

We finally got to play a game for points on our new Highgate Reserve Oval and it was greeted with a very blustery wind that seemed at times to have both ends throughout the day.

We kicked the first 2 goals and they were answered by 3 goals from the Hawks quickly.

We then came out in the 2nd quarter and kicked 5 goals in the first half of the 2nd quarter and we lead by 27 points at one stage but then the Hawks kicked 3 quick goals towards the end of the quarter and we went in with a 5 point lead at the main break.

Box Hill got on top of us slightly in the 3rd quarter and this resulted in a very exciting final quarter.

The lead change on numerous occasions and at 1 stage Box Hill had a 17point advantage on us but the boys never gave up hopefully making the visiting Anzacs proud.

Nick Carnell showed why he is a great leader.He was severely winded in the 2nd quarter and basically knocked out accidently by Mitch Morton,he still came back on to have a role in us winning.

Dean Polo kicked the winning goal with about 2 minutes to go and the place filled with jubilation.

Coburg notches first win

Tue 27 April, 2010

Coburg celebrated the opening of the Highgate Reserve facility in Craigieburn with a thrilling six-point victory over Box Hill on Saturday.

Dean Polo kicked the winning goal with seconds remaining to help the Tigers to their first win of the VFL season.

Coburg overcame some blustery conditions, and a 17-point deficit late in the game, in a performance coach David Newett believes was three weeks in the making.

“It was just reward for hard work they’ve put in early this season,” Newett said.

“We have come so close in previous two games, which gave them the determination in the last quarter when it was required.

“We just kept attacking in the last quarter and somehow found a way to get a result.”

The Tigers were helped by a strong contingent of Richmond-listed players, including Daniel Connors (25 possessions), Dean Polo (24, two goals), Jeromey Webberley (21) and David Gourdis (18).

“We had some really good contributors coming back into the team who showed great leadership - guys like Morton, Post, Gourdis, Graham and Browne,” Newett said.

“Dean Polo was able to perform well in roles all over the ground, including sneaking forward and having an impact.

“Jake King kicked goals at crucial times, and Relton Roberts came alive with some important touches in last quarter.

“Dan Connors was outstanding all day, playing off half back.  He provided good run and rebound, along with Jeromey Webberley.”

Coburg travels to Trevor Barker Oval to play Sandringham this Sunday May 2, at 2pm.

[bojangles17]

looks like a tremendous facility out there in craigieburn, we should make more use of it with regular training down there at least fortnightly, pounding the streets with a warm up lap...sheesh, we'd turn the place into a Y&B fortress

[Infamy]

I knew Gourdis had a pretty good game, but never realised he got that much of the ball (18 disposals)
Considering he was back in defence and I can only remember seeing one turnover by foot from a long kick to the forward flank, I'm wrapped to see him coming along well.

I know he played a game in defence in his first year at Coburg Reserves where he collected something like 32-35 disposals, good to see after an injury affected 2009 that he's now putting in consistent good quality games at the next level up.
I think he will adjust to the pace of AFL pretty well given his natural speed and agility, I hope he gets a chance sooner than later.

According to the VFL site Griffiths, Westhoff and Hicks played in the ressies big loss yesterday.

I am not really sure it's worth keeping Griffiths in this side, surely he won't be developing or getting his fitness up when he never sees the ball down there. Wouldn't we be better off promoting him to the Coburg seniors where he will get to see more of the ball??

[Infamy]

I heard Griffiths was injured in the warm up before the game and withdrew from the match
I don't think it was any major issue, just playing it safe

Ah ok, cheers Inf. Lets hope he gets a good run soon.

Yeah I see it too.

He's not consistent AFL standard yet. Doesn't need any spotlight yet, good or bad.
