Coburg vs Williamstown, Sunday May 1

[WA Tiger]

Hislop named in the best, well done, gee Morton, stand up you bloody whimp!!! You should be in the firsts kicking goals like the Milnes, Betts and Didak's of the competition. Instead you can't even be named as one of the better players for a very average seconds side, shame on you.

I had and minimally have now a lot of time for Morton, really thought he could be our X factor, not really sure where he can go from here, just hope he improves. VERY peeved with him!

Gee, Webberley and Browne must be really knocking on the door now unless there is no love on the Match Committee for them.

Yeah, what's that, 3-4 weeks now Browne has been named in the best with at least 1 BOG... Goat pictures perhaps.. .

Does anyone know what position morton is playing at coburg?

[cub]

He was playing down back, I presume to teach him defensive pressure which is what Hardwick keeps on about.

Coburg turned it on in the first half of the last quarter. At the 15 min mark they were only 22 points down and on a roll. An upset was brewing.
Then Williamstown banged on the last 6 goals.

Coburg use to be full of handy smalls and a decent VFL standard midfield under coach Andy Collins but lacked size and talls. Now they appear to have a few tall targets up forward but the midfield appears too ordinary to win enough of the ball and provide decent delivery to them. Would that be a fair summary of where Coburg are at?

... ruckman Ayce Cordy was beaten by Richmond's Andrew Browne.

The big man was again Coburg's best, racking up 28 hitouts and 20 disposals, while Jeromey Webberley collected 31 touches and 10 marks across half-back.

"We played some good footy, but 40 minutes of footy isn't going to get you a result," Coburg coach Adam Potter lamented.

Yes. The other thing I noticed yesterday was that Willy were really adept at building the brick wall across our half forward line too. So that on the rare occasions when we actually had the ball in the middle we just swung it from stuff to stuff looking for an opening, and going nowhere in the process. Then inevitably we'd cough it up, and they'd catch our defence one out time and time again. This unfortunately is the modern game with the press which everybody except us seems to be copying successfully at all levels.

One thing I noticed yesterday which is a critiscism of the Coburg coaches is the amount of Rotations.

OUT OF CONTROL ROTATIONS!

They are rotating players for the sake of rotating players. Not even the AFL Pies rotate that much surely. If you want to win a game for god sake leave them in their positions for at least 10 minutes at a time. Being uninformed I'm not sure if this is a RFC directive or a Coburg directive but it was flipping ridiculous to watch the crowds of Coburg players coming on and off the ground. The players would have been more tired from running to and from the bench then being tired from general play. If they weren't coming to the bench they were being moved to different positions around the ground. How can players develop when they can't stay on the ground or stay in one position on the ground?

Half the time I don't think the players knew where they were playing.

Cut our ties with Coburg, they are holding us back. Richmond must go it along or will fail in the future
