Coburg v Port Melbourne - On the Radio

[mightytiges]

Two things are for certain.
Pettifer and JON wont been seen in a Richmond jumper ever again.
JON simply cannot play and Pettfier is running around like a girl.

No surprises there. Both out of contract too.

How did Gus do? It sounded like he had an ordinary game today going by the radio commentary.

Will tell you something about Gus.
Best thing they could do to develop him further is to put better players around him, otherwords, Give him ago at Richmond for the next 4-6 weeks. They have carried Patto for so long with little or no improvement.
At least if Gus is bulit like a player who will give you something.
But the "" brain trusts"" at punt road wont take the risk as they are brain dead. .

Don't shoot the messenger but Miller said a couple of weeks ago that Gus is lacking some of the agility he had last year after missing much of the preseason with that broken ankle/foot he copped late last year.

Gary Ayres would make a brilliant coach at Richmond, as l said Rawlings no chance
pathetic effort from Richmond senior players

[mightytiges]

Ayres had his chance at AFL level and came up short with good sides. He was also at Essendon under Sheeds in the last few years when they struggled.

What does that say about some Richmond listed blokes playing at Coburg.
No heart no passion no effort. Why? It stems from the environment at Richmond and the failure of the coaching staff at Richmond who have been at the club well before Jade for failing to teach the basic items of work ethic and intrinsic behaviours pertaining to team success. Sure these boys may be "bad eggs" but Terry has also failed them to a certain extents us as paid members throughout his tenure and himself thinking that we all believe his b/s. The fish rots at the head. Just look at the other clubs and look at ours. The differences and results are stark.

Miller should try watching a game and watch Patto closely
What I seen of Gus today, I liked. Created a contest and as I said, would be a much better player in a better team

Wouldnt be too hard to out coach Jade Rawlings on what I seen today.
Players had trouble negatating the opposition flood, they actually had little idea. Poor effort by Coburg today

Interesting

Question for you then Jack based on the above.

What should Gus do when the opposition is lining up for a goal and that is not lookng to off load but actually taking a set shot?

Should he stand half way between the mark and the goal square or should he get back to the goal line and try and whack it through for a behind in case the kick falls short?

Personally I know what I would want him to do

Seriously interested in your reply, actually interested in anyones thoughts, we were discussing it yesterday during the course of the game

Poor effort by Coburg today

Flag it folks - Jack & I agree 

[WilliamPowell]

Certain Richmond players from last year now playing with Coburg this year might have something to do with it. Likewise RFC players who starred for Coburg last year and now at Richmond.

Hmm how they could have done with a Riewoldt, Hughes or Morton yesterday 

I counted 11 RFC players: Putt, Collins, Jackson, Petts, JON, Meyer, Graham, Cartledge, Rance, Coughlan, Hyde

There were 12

You forgot Silvestor

[TFL]

Unfortunately Coburg cant find a foward target at the moment, the loss of Jack and Cleve and Morts to a lesser degree have really hurt the structure of the team.

Goal Line. Answer, Its Poor coaching.
Coaches need to watch out for that and to instruct players accordingly

Agree goal line.

Next question - if a players inctructed to do it and doesn't it can't be bad coaching, surely that is the players fault

Its up to the coach.
Bit more time on the bench usually gets the message through.

Question for you, Why did you watch the game out in the cold? when you could of been in the luxury of the warm rooms??? Have you been banned

Because the only place to watch footy is out in the open Jack. It is a winter sport for goodness sake I had a nice warm beanie and scarf - not a problem

I don't think I am banned.
