BEST:
Coburg Tigers: Rance Tuck Coughlan Polak Liddle Horne

Fair enough bests for the RFC guys. Rance well held Robertson, Tucky was good in the 3rd quarter to get the momentum Coburg's way, Cogs tried hard all day at that level as did Polly.

[Tigermonk]

wow Mcrae is doing a fantastic job down there

LMAO at some on here who actually think he is as good at what he does which is SFA

agree he is a muppet, telling them to hold up till the last 10 minutes haha.
Most teams are spent in the last 10 minutes of any game at VFL level & its harder in windy conditions like that

[pmac21]

It comes as no surprise that Coburg have fallen down once Cogs, Bowden, RAINES, Pettifer, Graham and others have gone back to Coburg. They all play for themselves and should remain there til the end of the year and be punted.  Terrible performance giving me no heart for the future. 

Andrew Raines.. How did he ever nearly win the Riding Star.  Wow he is so bad.  He and JON would be the worst two players on a AFL list.   

Sorry, but Thomson is garbage,  pick 42 for that hack is a disgrace.

Embarrased today by a well drilled, well coached TEAM !!

Gourdis did his hammy early in the 3rd quarter of the Coburg ressies game yesterday after kicking 5 in the first half


Courtesy of Mossy1978 on BF:

Had a big 2nd term, kicked 3 great goals. Has a booming left foot kick. Was looking threatening until 5 minutes into the 3rd qtr he chased down a long ball on the wing, took a good low mark but over-stretched and strained his right hamstring. he jogged off and got treatment. At three quarter time I went up to him and asked him about, said he felt it tighten and a sharp pain, knew it wasn't good and said it doesn't feel good at all. On ice, disappointing because he looked like he was having a impact. maybe 2 weeks off, maybe 3. Hope we can give him a shot in the seniors before years end.

[Judge Roughneck]

Really poor effort.

With so many of our middle-age AFL listed players you would expect something more.

Cogs was good.

Gee Polly must be getting close wouldn't you think?? Named in the best for about 3-4 weeks now.

Richmond's Alex Rance shuts down Melbourne's Russell Robertson in VFL
Jon Ralph | July 28, 2009

AFTER breaking Brad Green's jaw in a collision, Richmond's Alex Rance has consigned Russell Robertson to a lengthy VFL stint.

Robertson played for Casey Scorpions on Saturday after being dumped by Melbourne, but Coburg defender Rance shut him down.

Rance kept Robertson to two kicks, eight handballs and no goals in the 33-point Casey win.

Second-year defender Rance was named best afield, with fellow Tigers Shane Tuck, Mark Coughlan and Graham Polak also excellent.

Robertson is unlikely to return in the next few weeks, despite Melbourne's mounting injury problems.

Only two senior-listed Demons played in the VFL, with Casey coach Peter German conceding on the club's website Robertson would struggle to return.

"It was tough for the forwards because of the windy conditions, but (Rance) chased, tackled and put his body on the line," German said. "No doubt it's difficult for (Robertson) to come back, but he'll bounce back."

Round 15 Match Report

CASEY SCORPIONS v COBURG TIGERS
CASEY FIELDS
SATURDAY 25th JULY

Coburg travelled to Casey Fields on Saturday to take on the in-form Casey Scorpions side. Casey were in equal second position on the ladder while Coburg sat just inside the top eight. Although the Burgers have been playing well at home this season their away record has been poor, winning only one match from six attempts. Today was a highly important game with a win keeping the boys in the top eight, while a loss would see them out. Both sides were strengthened with key AFL listed players added, including Robertson for the Scorpions and Tuck for the Burgers.

There was a strong three to four goal wind favouring the end the Burgers kicked with first. In previous weeks the opening quarter has been a bogey term for the Burgers and unfortunately the trend continued again this week. Although the Burgers had an amazing twenty one ‘inside 50’s’ for the term compared to Casey’s six they were outscored three goals to two. Once in side fifty the Burgers did not use the ball well at all, making it easy for Casey to clear the ball out. The Scorpions finished the first term three points up.

Coburg Tigers 2.5 (17)   Casey Scorpions 3.2 (20)

Mark Coughlan played a solid game through the middle in his best game for season 2009. Winning plenty of hard ball gets he finished with thirty possessions and was clearly one of Coburg’s better players. Alex Rance was rock solid in the backline, had it not been for his constant second and third efforts the scoreboard may have looked even uglier at the main break. However as it was the Burgers were down by four goals, having scored just one major compared to Casey’s four for the term.

Coburg Tigers 3.6 (24)   Casey Scorpions 7.6 (48)

Nic Liddle got the Burgers off to a perfect start in the third term kicking their first two goals within five minutes. Shane Tuck also lifted immensely in the quarter and it looked as though the Burgers would kick out to a handy lead. However the Scorpions had other ideas and kicked two majors off their own to hold onto a very handy eight point lead at the final change.

Coburg Tigers 7.11 (53)   Casey Scorpions 9.7 (61)

Coburg needed a minor miracle in the last term if they were going to take the points, but unfortunately it wasn’t to be. Kicking with the strong wind Casey controlled the final term allowing the Burgers only a solitary behind, while they piled on four majors. It was a very disappointing day for the Burgers with not enough players standing up. Graham Polak was again one of Coburg’s best, collecting eighteen touches and ten marks and helping out in the ruck.

This week the Burgers are back at home and take on Box Hill starting at 2.00pm.

Coburg Tigers      2.5 3.6 7.11 7.12 (54)
Casey Scorpions   3.2 7.6 9.7 13.9 (87)

Goal Kickers: N. Liddle 3, A. Thomson, K. Pettifer, C. Hughes, A. Raines

Best Players: A. Rance, S. Tuck, M. Coughlan, G. Polak, N. Liddle, A. Horne


RESERVES

Coburg’s reserves faced up against the Casey Scorpions for the second week in a row. The boys lost the toss and kicked into the strong wind in the first term and finished it to be down by five goals. However an eight goal second term saw Coburg regain the lead at the main change. Again the Scorpions kicked away in the third term, but Coburg managed to stay within touch and easily run down the margin in the final term to take out a three goal victory. David Gourdis and Alroy Gilligan shared eight majors for the Burgers, while Nic Cattapan, Dean Putt and Rhett Jordan were standout players.

Coburg Tigers     2.1 10.5 10.8 15.13 (103)
Casey Scorpions  7.3  7.5  12.7 13.7 (85)
