So what is the deal for Coburg supporters wanting to see the game ???
May go for both, haven't decided yet - glutton for punishment I suppose. :help
-
CUB this is what WP says.
--------------------
IIRC
If he has a Coburg membership then he could get in and stay in for VFL
prices ($7 or $9) but if he only has a RFC membership then it's normal
AFL price.
Just a word of warning though - they only release limited seats for sale
at that hell hole on match day - I think its around the 1000-2000 or
something so I'd suggest getting there early. A disgrace to the comp
that venue!!!!

I hope Josh Riddle gets a senior game - been very impressive the last couple of weeks in the Burgers 2nds - good prospect
Just an update on how you get into the VFL game:
If you have a VFL membership (eg Coburg m'ship) go to the Bob Davis gate, they'll be open between 10.15 and 10.30am and you can get in for $9. If you don't have an VFL membership then normal AFL prices apply. The GFC are supposed to make available seats (2000 they reckon) in the Garry Ablett Terrace for the VFL
game
Still think the venue is a hell hole

Still think the venue is a hell hole
Is that before or after it's full WP? ;D
A big test for Coburg this week. That's a tall forward line that Geelong ressies have. A win would almost secure second spot :thumbsup.

The Geelong President was interviewed on MMM about a month ago about playing at Skilled when Telstra & the MCG would braw bigger crowds and He replied that the club was better off with 26000 at Skilled as against 42000 at Telstra or 55000 at the 'G' So I gets back to the poor old supporter being shafted again :banghead

Coburg Tigers flag intentions
04 August 2007 Herald Sun
Geoff Poulter
SECOND-placed Coburg Tigers are keen to test themselves against the two main flag contenders in the final four rounds.
They clash with Geelong (third) this morning at Skilled Stadium and then face an away game against ladder-leader Sandringham in Round 20 on August 25.
"They are clearly the class sides of the competition this year," Coburg coach Andrew Collins said this week.
"It is an exciting challenge to play at Geelong this week and then we've got Sandringham in a couple of weeks."
Collins is also chuffed about playing the curtain-raiser to the Geelong-Richmond game.
"I would encourage the VFL to do that bit more," he said.
"There are some special games played as curtain-raisers to an AFL game when it could easily have been VFL games.
"We have that opportunity with the alignments.
"It would be great to have the Coburg Tigers playing on the MCG before the Richmond Tigers (Coburg's affiliate)."
Collins said his side would be near full-strength today.
"We think we have a pretty good team in," he said. "We are also playing Mitch Farmer, the under-18 boy from the Calder Cannons.
"The local (VFL) list is standing up really strongly.
"To finish in the top four would be a wonderful achievement. We want to be able to play some good finals footy which would be a great experience for all the young boys."
Coburg bowed out in an elimination final at Frankston last season.
"We have already reached our target to win more games than last year," Collins said.
"Our target was finish top three in the reserves and top four in the seniors.
"We went into the season not knowing what to expect but knowing we had some specially talented young boys.
"We had turned over about 30 players on the Coburg list and Richmond had turned over quite a few as well."
A VFL club's fortunes rely heavily on the injuries suffered by their AFL affiliates.
"Richmond has been good with their injury management," Collins said.
"They have had some injuries to key players which has affected their performance. But the overall numbers have probably been average."
Geelong's attack will test Coburg, with Tom Hawkins selected at full-forward.
Half-forward/winger Jason Davenport, rookie-listed at AFL level with Geelong, kicked eight goals in his most recent game against Port Melbourne.
Quick, skilled and durable, he starred for the combined VFL side in the May against Western Australia and looks a ready-made AFL prospect.
Coburg will look to midfielder Andrew Krakouer and forwards Jay Schulz, Daniel Jackson and Chris Hyde to stretch the Cats.

X has been texting me results but someone at my place (not me) was on the phone for the last hour :P
-
Second quarter we were a class below. Backline not the problem. Forwards not working hard enough and midfield turnovers. Schulz, Kingsley lazy. Krak apart from one effort been lazy also.
First 5 minutes of 2nd qtr we were hot but didn't apply scoreboard pressure. Vrery Richmond like quarter dominated by turnovers.
White a shocker. X can't believe he's on our list. Caused 2 turnovers in a row. 2nd one cost Coburg a goal.
3rd quarter started
Jay hit the post. Started well but only 2 points to show for it. Geelong then get an easy goal.
Coburg 3.7-25
Geelong 9.6-60

Just catching up on X's texts.
First quarter summary
petersen harts both looked good. Moore and Patto did well.
moore beat hawkings
hyde was bog in first quarter
petersen jumping on shoulders
defence solid
krak schulz howat on bench just before quarter time
We kicked against the breeze in the 1st qtr ???
-
Second quarter summary
Goals: krak, Neville. Not sure who got Coburg's first.
Umpires hate us at this level ;D
Howat, White plus other turnovers resulted in Geelong goals. Howat is shocking. Caught the Tiger no skill bug.
Patto and petersen worked real hard. to make position and space but were always ignored. When they were ignored they kicked to the wrong option with cat numbers and we got slaughtered on the rebound. Carl and patto are too good for this level.

Interesting that Harts can often get mentioned as one of the best by spectators but it doesn't seem to reflect in the official best player list
-
One bad error-riddled quarter and that was the game. Oh well hope they learn from it before the finals. Coburg's got the bye next week and then finish with the Tassie (bottom side) and Sandy (top side).
WP's bests:
Krak outstanding
P.Bowden and Cass okay
White - ran hard. okay
Schulz played the game he was asked to.
Patto okay. disposal let him down at times.

From - Cats a chance for flag double
05 August 2007 Sunday Herald Sun
Howard Leigh
Kent Kingsley's return to Skilled Stadium for the first time since joining Richmond turned to heartache.
The former Cat had failed to kick a goal when he was forced off the ground with a thigh injury in the second quarter and didn't return.
For Coburg, Richmond's Brent Hartigan kicked three goals while Chris Hyde, Jay Schulz, Dan Jackson and Patrick Bowden all kicked one.

I put him in there xXx because he does something very few of our blokes do the hard "gut" running
Was also impressed with Mitch Fraser - the TAC kid - like his game better than Polighorne's the week before.
HE was wearing number 22 if anyone else cares to comment :thumbsup

No RFC blokes playing but the Coburg ressies won by 164 points :o for those interested:

Match Report Vs Geelong
coburgtigers.footballvic.com.au
ROUND 17 MATCH REPORT: COBURG V GEELONG
Coburgs winning streak of five came to a halt on Saturday as they faced a strong Geelong outfit. After a tight first quarter Geelong ran away with the game in the second term and held a comfortable five goal lead for most of the second half. The match was played as a curtain raiser to Geelong v Richmond at Skilled Stadium.
In what was a hard scrappy first quarter both teams only managed to kick one goal each; with the scores deadlocked on a ‘whopping’ eight points each at the first break. Both sides disposal through the midfield and to their forwards was ordinary to say the least. Jarrod Silvester held the backline together well with good help from Kelvin Moore and Andrew Horne.
The game opened up in the second quarter which was unfortunate for Coburg, as they only managed two goals, while Geelong piled on seven to take a healthy lead at halftime.
The Tigers lost one of their main focal points up forward in Kent Kingsley, who was forced off the ground in the second term with a thigh injury forcing Coburg to alter its game plan. However things didn’t go Coburgs way and a 32 point deficit was the result at the main break.
Ryan Gamble was the key to Geelongs breakaway; he finished with four goals and was best on ground.
By no means were Coburg blown away in the third or fourth quarters, but they couldn’t bridge the gap to get within striking distance of the Geelong side. The cats played smart footy, and basically wouldn’t let the Burgers get a run on.
With Angus Graham elevated to Richmond, Adam Pattison took over the ruck duties and gave the Coburg midfielders first use of the ball. Andrew Krakouer and Paul Shelton read Pattison well and collected many possessions through the midfield.
To Coburg’s credit they battled it out till the final siren. After the main break the Burgers stayed equal with the Cats loosing the half by only five points. With percentage likely to play an important part in the lead up to the finals, it was a positive to take out of a disappointing game.
Coburg currently sit in third position on the ladder with 114 as their %. They are equal on points with Geelong who are second; and one game clear of North Ballarat in fourth position.
Mitch Farmer made his debut for the Burgers, after being elevated from the Calder Cannons TAC Cup U18 side, and involved himself well as the game went on.
James Polkinghorne did the same the week before; in a move to give both players the experience of playing at VFL level.
With finals just around the corner for both sides no more current day Cannon players will be selected for Coburg.
The Burgers have a bye next week, before flying back over to Aurora Stadium to take on Tasmania in the second last round before finals.

I notice both the Coburg seniors and ressies have the bye this week. So there's no game scheduled for whoever doesn't play for Richmond on Friday night.
Will Coburg have a praccy or intraclub match this weekend or are they giving everyone a week off 3 weeks before the finals to freshen up?
