[Ramps]

I heard the game on radio, im pretty pleased with young Gus ... seems to be coming along well at Coburg. Casserley should come into the senior team now. Hes getting more of it at coburg and hes using it well 2. Hughes seems to be learning that life isnt so easy in the mudheaps...and hes working at his game, JON we have to wait after he does a proper preseason. Petersen should come in for a game at some stage as well- seems to know how to go about it. Conners seems intent on doing the superstar stuff, id prefer he just try and string some games together.

what are you talking about ramps. We need some egotastic alpha-males  , our team is currently full of timid and soft players.

Not before we do the Natanui Hurley double in 2008 we dont lol.

is that Michael Hurley.

Anyway if we got the double dip I'd go Hartlett & Naitanui

Not before we do the Natanui Hurley double in 2008 we dont lol.

[{X}]

Agree X, Krak would be B.O.G. in the midfield.
Gus was terrific.
The commentators said JON and Casserly were good too.
Paddy, Connors came good in the second half.
Tambo and Harts had better last quarters.
Peterson sounded as he was involved in the game for his debut. From the commentary his second efforts were good.
Didn't hear much of Moore or White.

Meyer didn't come back on the ground after going off injured.

are you sure u are feeling ok OE

u just agreed with an "insignificent person who knows nothing about footy!"  lol

dont worry oer i know u are not a  , but beware, cos u apparently agreed with one lol, dont want u to tarnish ur reputation 

[{X}]

Chance for Krak to come back in as well, but want to see him back it up a few more times

hey bluey

krak played a gr8 first half v the bombers, then doen his ankle. since then he has been back from injury and played 2 weeks at coburg, both weeks no bog, i dont think he needs to back anythg up, he deserves to come back in

iirc, tiv was dropped 4 a week, went to the burgers, did sweet fa, didnt back up anything and after a pathetic game for coburg he was then selected in the tigers team. why are there different rules for different players ??? no wonder why our team is a rabble, because we are not a team, just a bunch of individuals and thats terrys fault.

its time tiv tuck hyde raines sugar were all dropped and told u dont get back in unless u have 2 or 3 bogs for coburg, not just a 1 week rest

these kids , paddy and krak all deserve games , not the duds we currently have playing

but then again, we are tanking arent we

[mightytiges]

Tivs kicked 4 goals in a half for Coburg ressies  . I was surprised Krak wasn't play tomorrow at the 'G.

The most positive news from today was Gus and Cass' games. Hopefully they get a chance to make their debut before the year's out.

Moore's forward opponent mustn't have got a touch as Kel was only mentioned a couple of time in the call.

[{X}]

Tivs kicked 4 goals in a half for Coburg ressies  .

thats right, and in that game iirc, krak had about 40 touches and was bog

must be a good player to kick 4 goals in a vfl reserves team lol, obv terry and his tigers dont have very high standards to get selected lol

[mightytiges]

Tivs' problem over the years is once he gets the footy which he usual does around the 20 times a game mark he turns it over by foot at crucial times. Krak's problem at AFL level is getting enough of the footy consistently in the first place. A player who can't get his hands on the pill is useless to a coach. Too bad for us Krak doesn't have the engine to reproduce his Coburg output in the midfield when playing for Richmond.

Tigers issue warning to contenders
Chris Walker | July 22, 2007 | The Age

COBURG sent a message to all finals contenders at Coburg City Oval yesterday, and that was, "watch out!" What began as a goal-for-goal mud wrestle, ended in a 38-point runaway victory to the Tigers, who beat Box Hill 15.11 (101) to 10.3 (63).

Played in a veritable gluepot, the ball was heavy and slippery and players struggled to keep their feet and hold their marks.

Going into the game, the Tigers were without regulars Jack Riewoldt (promoted), Kent Kingsley (injured) and on-ballers Luke McGuane (promoted) and Alistair Neville (injured) and, in the second quarter, they also lost Danny Meyer for the match with a corked thigh.

Sensing an opportunity presented by these absences, Box Hill produced a ferocious first quarter, causing a number of Coburg turnovers. Beau Dowler was excellent up forward, providing a strong marking option and kicking two goals for the half. Dowler caused a considerable problem for the Tiger defence and the 20-year-old looks a bright prospect for Hawthorn.

With scores locked at 37 apiece at half-time, Patrick Bowden proved the difference in the third quarter, kicking the first two goals in the first two minutes.

While Dowler managed his third goal in response, 200 centimetre rookie Angus Graham brought down Box Hill skipper Kristan Height with a wonderful tackle and spotted up Bowden once again. Bowden repaid the big man's hard work with his third goal for the term and opened up a three-goal lead.

The fourth quarter saw Coburg's quality come to the fore: Brent Hartigan kicked two goals, Cleve Hughes was sensational at centre half-forward, Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls did as he pleased through the midfield and Andrew Krakouer completed his second best-on-ground performance in two weeks with 38 possessions.

Coach Andy Collins was elated with the win. The Tigers sit second on the ladder.

Krakouer ignites Tigers in mud
22 July 2007   Sunday Herald Sun
Howard Leigh

EMBATTLED Richmond coach Terry Wallace has something to cheer about with the sparkling form of list players Andrew Krakouer, Patrick Bowden, Richard Tambling and Cleve Hughes for the Coburg Tigers in yesterday's VFL match against the Box Hill Hawks.

Krakouer, 24, who hasn't cemented a regular spot at Richmond in seven seasons, ploughed through the quagmire at the Coburg City Oval to finish with 38 disposals (23 kicks, 15 handballs).

He was the playmaker in Coburg's 38-point victory.

Bowden, who has missed most of the season with a hip injury, had 26 disposals, took 10 marks and booted four goals in Coburg's 15.11 (101) to 10.3 (63) victory.

Coburg coach Andy Collins used Bowden in defence early before moving him forward where he was picked up by Hawk defender Danny Jacobs.

"Patrick has missed a lot of footy and is getting better and better," Collins said.

"He could force his way into the Richmond side in the next few weeks."

Tambling, working through the midfield and across the half-forward line, had 22 touches.

Collins praised Hughes who took 10 marks at centre half-forward.

"I thought Cleve was terrific and his marking was very strong," he said.

Richmond and former Geelong forward Kent Kingsley didn't line up because of a quad injury.

Hawthorn captain Richie Vandenberg had 24 possessions in the midfield for Box Hill as he continues to press for a return to AFL football after a serious shoulder injury.

Box Hill coach Damien Christensen said: "Richie gave us grunt in the middle, particularly in the first half."

Jacobs took 12 marks and had 19 disposals, but had his hands full when Bowden moved forward.

Hawthorn youngsters Josh Kennedy and Travis Tuck impressed and Beau Dowler kicked three goals.

"We were level at half-time, but missed a couple of crucial shots early in the third quarter," Christensen said.

"We missed targets and there was a lack of experience."

Hawthorn defender Zac Dawson was reported in the third quarter for an incident involving Coburg's Joe Gazzo.

Christensen was upset by the surface of the ground.

"It was in shocking condition, it was a real mud heap," he said.

and on-ballers Luke McGuane (promoted) and Alistair Neville (injured)

luke an onballer ???

Krakouer, 24, who hasn't cemented a regular spot at Richmond in seven seasons, ploughed through the quagmire at the Coburg City Oval to finish with 38 disposals (23 kicks, 15 handballs).

this is why we need krak on our list, he is just 24. we trade or delist him now we will pay the price.
if krak gets enough game time, game after game, in the midfield ,his fitness will improve. he is the smartest footballer along with brown we have.
let him go we will be punished. terry wallace has to just get over his gripe with krak and give him some confidence and a real go, we all know terry had it in for rodan, and he does for krak, lets hope terry does not make the same mistake twice.

u hear miller say in the paper we need more mids, well why the f did they get rid of rodan for. krak is important to our team, and we betetr sign him up again.

some say he does not get the ball enough . well he does not get equal midfield game time and it has nothing to do with his fitness, terry has it in 4 him, prob cos he is so close to spud.

now what would u rather see, krak getting 15 kicks and knowing all 15 will hit a target lace out

or tuck and tiv getting 20 kicks each, where only 10 or 12 kicks will hit a  target , and the rest are turned over or go to a spot that disadvantages our team

do ur math!

[WilliamPowell]

Another great win by the Burgers with out their main play maker Al Neville.

It was a very impressive result in the end after a very tight first half.

The 4 indigenous boys playing together a highlight.

Full credit to Tambling for how he played - was very good. Got an entire game in the mid-field. Could have gone back and sulked but didn't - was very impressive.

Krak = BOG for mine (although the coaches gave Cleve BOG award) - deserves a game in the AFL next week. Played the entire game in the mid-field as well and excelled. It's a pity that he doesn't have the fitness levels to play there for long periods in AFL games..

any questions fire away

Just sussing a few things and by the look of it we could be playing Geelong in Geelong, in the first week of the finals.
