Coburg vs Box Hill - Anzac Day

[cub]

Nothing wrong with JON, sometimes people want results straight away, he is doing ok imo.
Joel, could be back next week.
Petts has got the skillls, but mentally a bit of a sook - BIG ? on him.
Cotchin is class, fitness and gametime up and will be going in my supercoach.
Heard about his second efforts and he does it well....  more later maybe .....

on a side note cogs walked past 'if u can say that' his hammy is fudged, big struggle for this boy the way he climbed the steps next to me - wish him all the best, but not looking to flash.

Forget about Cogs his finished  maybe smokey_58au can go down the club to rub his hammy for him cause he told me he was superfit & be running the seniors soon 

l'm getting conflicting reports on Bowden  did he play good or not & whats the report on Tivs

l tell ya,  its a good feeling seeing the tigers having good players running around for Coburg & the senior team unchanged again
but l hope Rawlings dont drop his guard & continue to push the senior listed players harder cause if he dont it might rub off onto the Coburg team if these senior listed players start thinking their time is up & start doing things to get out

Thanks for the reports TFL and CUB. Good to hear Cotchin is doing well.

Cogs didn't train this week at all. He didn't even do any running. Not sure where the RFC site got that he was a "test". Compare that to Danny who is training fully but was classed as a week away.

JON constantly tries to do too much and while he may not directly cause the turnover, his disposal to a team mate who is under enormous pressure does cause the turnover.

I was standing right neat Wallace in the 1st qtr and even he was making comment that JON keeps running into traffic when he gets the ball and is putting his team mates under too much pressure.

That's more like the JON we know but you wouldn't have got that impression from the commentary. In fact they were saying JON went onto Shore because he was getting away from Robertson.

[The Glove]

Cheers for the report Glove  . What you've said about JON fits in with the radio commentary.

How much gametime did Cotchin play?  From the radio commentary Cotchin was very good in the first quarter and a bit and got his hands on the footy a fair bit (it sounded as though he was playing across HB). We didn't him mentioned much after that until late in the game in the centre when Coburg were on top and winning most of the clearances.

Also how did Cleve do? He sounded as though he was in and out of the game but when he was in it he lead strongly and marked well across HF.

Cotchin played a fair bit, but was probably rotated more than most for a spell.  Spent a fair bit of the second up forward.  Coburg hamstrung a bit by losing Howat early so one significant runner down.  Spent almost all last quarter on ball and really just showed how good he is!

I actually liked Cleve's game a lot - dont know that he had a good game stats wise but did all the thiings he didn't do last year - worked hard - led up competed well - good hands generally - was often outnumbered and did OK and more than OK on a number of occassions - good signs - still need to find a bit more because he cant rely on being just a lead and mark forward.

Correct. Shore cut up Robbo a fair bit althought Roberston dod some good things coming back the other way.  JON went back on to him in the third  and took the honours.  We all know JON's weaknesses - but on today's game you can at least say there are some improvements.  Whether his poor decision making is terminal, time will tell.  He was much more composed and in fact hit up a couple of lovely targets inside.  If you saw him for the first time today and didn't know his history you would think he was a promising type.

[TFL]

I agree with Glove about Cleve. He worked hard and chased and tackled fairly well which is a good sign. The game was a very ordinary level, Box Hill flooded heavily all day and Coburg really stuggled to deal with it, you could see in the third qtr that Box Hill were getting tired and that Coburg may run over them.

In regards to Tigermonks question. Bowden was very good in the second half and played good footy and also gave great leadership.

His first half was a typical Bowden game trying to do bullsh!t things and play around with the ball.

Cheers TG. Good to hear on both fronts. Hopefully Cleve can keep working and improving and put his hand up for senior selection each week.

And that's why he shouldn't come back into the senior side until he performs properly for 4 quarters at Coburg.

rubbish petts has got no skills. he is a useless selfish footballer who is happy to get his 1-2 goals per match and do no more, while his opponent runs free and picks up a lazy 20 possy's a game.
if we r to move forward its better we do it without him.

JOEL Bowden has made an irresistible case for inclusion in the Richmond side after starring in the VFL for Coburg for the third straight week.

Playing mainly at half-forward, Bowden kicked two goals and was among Coburg's best in yesterday's 12-point win against Box Hill Hawks at Coburg City Oval.

Coburg's Richmond-listed players were pivotal in the come-from-behind win, with forward Kayne Pettifer booting three goals before moving up the ground after halftime.

Greg Tivendale collected 30 possessions on the wing.

Steve Kenna and Hawthorn-listed utility Josh Kennedy were among Box Hill's best.

Rawlings said his side showed character after hitting the front for the first time in the last quarter.

"We really toughed it out today," Rawlings said.

"We got a bit of momentum in the last quarter and we got a big lift from some of our senior players."

Everything I have read says no one doubts his ability they are just trying to teach him an important lesson.
