Coburg vs Williamstown, Sat July 17

[TFL]

How much has Morton actually played on the wing in recent weeks?

Has been playing there for atleast 4-5 weeks now.

[Chuck17]

We won't howl you down Ramps, it worked wonders for Jack so hopefully it will for Postie as well.

[Penelope]

Cheers TFL.
Was happy to see him in the best today. Hopefully he is starting to settle into the role Hardwick has in store for him.

[TFL]

i think he is, he seems to be becoming acustom to the running more and more each week.

He was really blowing up the first few weeks but is handling the load a lot better, he had some good clearances today from the centre.

He did play a lot of junior footy as a midfielder so its not totally new to him.

[Ramps]

We won't howl you down Ramps, it worked wonders for Jack so hopefully it will for Postie as well.

well they all probably come in here to see who Ive put on the trade list, afew year ago I had foley on it and he came good then I stuck riewoldt on it and hes come good, slowly slowly if I work my way through the list we could win a flag in about 2013 lol

[Infamy]

Post was hardly setting the world on fire when he was promoted into the Richmond side late last year, however he looked quite good at the higher level. Certainly wouldn't be the first player who doesn't stand out at VFL.
As long as he's working on the things set out for him then that's ok, pretty soon to make a call on a kpp in his 2nd year.

Round 13 Match Report
coburg tigers website


Seniors:

Burbank oval is never the warmest place to play football and Saturday was no exception.

We lost Dean Polo before the bounce as he was held over for the Rich v North game the following day and we had to take Dylan Grimes from the Reserves game at half time.

We started off well again as Carnell received 2 free kicks in quick sucession but we could only capitalise with 1 goal from those.

At the first break we had a 13 point lead,but that was erased in the 2nd quarter when we allowed Willi to kick 5 goals to nothing and at the main break we were 21 points down.

It looked like it was going to get messy in the 3rd quarter when again Willi got early goals, but the boys rallied to kick 4 late goals and at the final break we were 3 goals down.

Unfortunately similar to when we played them in Rd 3,we were overrun but a bigger and stronger team and eventually went down by 62 points.

We managed to hold Little and Akermanis for 3 quarters,but their experience told out in the end and they kicked 3 and 2 goals respectively.

Mitch Morton played a great game with 40 possessions in the midfield and also chimed in with 3 goals.

Gourdis was good on Little for 3 quarters and rance gave good rebound from the backline.

Once again big Andrew Browne did the majority of the ruck work and was solid as was Power and Carnell.

Goals: Morton 3, Hicks 2, Carnell, Puiselli, Taylor
Best: Morton, Rance, Browne, Power

Williamstown:     2.3          7.8          11.9        18.14     122
Coburg:            4.4          4.5          8.9          8.12        60

Mathematically the Seniors can still make the finals and but we must ensure that we play consistent football against Geelong and Frankston over the next 2 games.


Reserves
 
The boys were coming off a disappointing 2 point loss to Nth Ballarat and were keen to defeat the top of the ladder Williamstown.

Similar to the seniors we stuck with them for 3 quarters,but again the stronger bodies got over us in the end to what was a loss we could not afford to have with a view to finishing in the top 4 .

Grimes was very good in defence until half time and it was great to see the old captain Trav Ronaldson running around for the first time.

Jono Morris playing in the midfield was tough and played his best game for the year and the big Hammer Dahl and Fewster were solid in the ruck.

Murph Ambbrose gave good run off the wing and Fahey held up well against the bigger bodies in defence.

In the end we went down by 65 points.

We now face 3rd place Werribee this Sunday and it really is a must win game.

Williamstown:     4.6          6.9          12.14     18.18     126
Coburg:             3.1          5.4          7.4          9.7        61

Best: Morris, Dahl, Fahey, Ambrose
Goals: Meroli 3, Fewster, Cattapan, Westhoff, Lucin, Morris, Dennis

Mitch had 40 possies 

Bring him in now, hope that he gets a couple of 25+ possie games, and boosts his trade value.

I think he's one of those guys that will be up and down for his whole career.

Based on what Newett said Morton and Browne were best for Coburg and you would think first to come into the Richmond side this week.
