we have alot of young defenders.  what we need is to develop some young forwards

i know post mainly played in defence in U18s.  but that shoulnd't necessarily dictate where we play him i think.  there is no harm in trying him up forward with his contested marking ability and his athleticism

Not Sarge. Too many chances and gawn.

Bring in both Cleve and Jack. Nothing to lose now. Give us some height to kick to up forward and who wants to be part of the RFC post-Wallace.

Carnell to Horne and long inside 50 again. Jack can't quite get it and Cleve's effort wasn't so good. Pies run it up the other end but it rebounds Coburg's way again. Jordie to Hislop who gets the free. Passes it to Patto. Off hands and Edwards smartly goes backwards to Connors. Touched by man on mark and point.

Pies get a goal back. 22 mins gone.

Post by: one-eyed on May 16, 2009, 04:50:18 PM
Jack on SER

* Good win. Needed after two losses. Fought hard today. Not so good first half but second half it clicked.

* Better ball use helps. Went into half-time and Rawlings pointed out we overpossessed with 80k and 124h. So we addressed that and turned it around in the second half.

* Hi to dad who's listening.

Kingy

* Boys have been "blowing" over the week off with the bye after the last couple of losses and we wanted to come out and show something today. Hopefully the Richmond boys have a win tomorrow.

Bourkey - assistant coach

* Frustrating 2nd quarter. Just overpossessed by hand with 125h. Started winning the clearances in the 3rd quarter and we went longer to Jack and Schulz.

Bourkey's bests:
Thomson's clearance work was really good all day
Liddle
Hislop both up forward and midfield
Patto in the ruck
and of course Jack with six goals.

SER bests:

McMahon, Liddle, Clarke all 30 possies each.

Game came down to that last 5 minutes in the 3rd quarter so hard to find dominate players apart from Jack.

Hislop was good at the contest. Tough footballer.

Carrick drifted out of the game after half-time

JON has 20 possies. More a floater though and no damaging goal set-ups though.

Likewise Connors isn't damaging finding plenty of the ball out wide on the wing.

Cleve should go back to VFL ressies  :P.

Story of the day was Riewoldt. Jack has really come on as a footballer. His marking is freakish.

Yep its ridiculous. Coburg at least plays with some forward structure where Jack doesn't have to be the lone No.1 tall forward and the ball comes in long and direct (after half-time today) which gives the forwards some chance without having 18 defenders in their space.

Great win to the boys and well done, now don't get too excited with Reiwoldt. Yes he is too good for Coburg, yes he will be brilliant in years to come and yes he is a very important part of the future of this club. He does need to string at least one or two more games together like todays before he is recalled otherwise it is just too easy to get back into the side.

I went out to Coburg to watch the Burgers kick more sausage rolls than the Pies :lol Hughes took a nice hanger early, and kicked the goal but was pretty quiet after that. There's a Tiger fan that my friends refer to as "Rumours", and not because he likes Fleetwood Mac, and he reckons that Hughes to Port Adelaide next year is a done deal. Do I believe him? Who knows.
Jack obviously played very well with a six goal haul, and Schulz, Connors and Vickery (whose ruck work was terrific all day) all did a bit too. Adam Thomson gave us a lot of drive out of the middle, and Hislop was good across half forward. Patto  took a few nice marks, and even ran an opponent down and was rewarded by the umps.
There was a funny bit of play just before 1/2 time. JON took a mark in the fwd pocket at the grandstand end, and his shot was taken across the goalmouth by the swirly breeze and dumped out on the full. This little kid in a Richmond jumper yelled out: "That's why you can't get a senior game Oakley-Nicholls", as a Collingwood player started clearing the ball up the same stuff from the resultant free. But JON chased him down, won the free, and took another shot from virtually the same spot. My mate said "I bet he does exactly the same thing", but he floated it to the goalsquare this time, where I think Goldsack marked it unopposed on the 1/2 time siren. I dunno', you had to be there I suppose.

Good to hear Vickery played well. Our ruck stocks long-term seem a lot healthier than 12 months ago.

I dunno, I think that's a pretty reasonable, it teaches players that they need to perform in every game, the odd bad one isn't acceptable. Now I know Jack is a kid, but he's become an established player this year, so his standard is set higher.

The reverse is true for the kids who are just starting out, they should be given a few weeks in the side to know that they don't need to worry about their spot, just relax and work hard. As long as they are contributing to the side they need the experience at AFL level. Jack has passed this point and his game last week for Richmond could not be considered "contributing".

He's taken his punishment, performed well at the lower level and proved he is above VFL standard now. Hopefully it makes him work harder for Richmond next week. It is pretty tough to ask a single 20 year old KPP to carry an entire AFL forward line though.

Regardless of todays performance cant understand why Jack was dropped, seem to have this 1 bad game and your out attitude, just leave him at AFL level  and let him learn like every other club is doing with their youth
I dunno, I think that's a pretty reasonable, it teaches players that they need to perform in every game, the odd bad one isn't acceptable. Now I know Jack is a kid, but he's become an established player this year, so his standard is set higher.

Agreed.  And I think his performance had dropped off a week or 2 prior - not just last week.

From the Age...

Coburg Tigers held off a fast-finishing Collingwood to clinch a 31-point win at Coburg City Oval, with Jack Riewoldt booting six in the 17.12 (114) to 12.11 (83) victory.

Coburg Tigers coach Jade Rawlings was delighted his team showed resilience in the final term against Collingwood when the Magpies threatened to steal the points, with Chris Bryan kicking his third to get within 17 points.

But the Tigers hung on through the meticulous work of Nick Liddle and Adam Thomson in the midfield.

"We did all the hard work in the third quarter to get the lead and they got a couple of quick ones but we were able to respond reasonably well and compose ourselves," Rawlings said.

"We were 2-2; it was a good win because they were in good form and it was challenging conditions that we played in.

"Nick Liddle's in terrific form. I think he's showing that he well and truly should be coming into consideration for the AFL," he said.

Jack Riewoldt finished with six, while Brad idiot kicked four for the Magpies.

The Magpies head into the break at 3-3 and content, according to coach Gavin Brown.

"We're really pleased, there's some really good signs," he said. "We just let ourselves down early. We had three or four opportunities to kick easy goals in the first quarter but let them slip and they ended up getting some soft goals."

Richmond's high-flying forward Jack Riewoldt was the match-winner up forward for Coburg with six goals.

"I think I had the confidence; it was just more about execution really and obviously today I was lucky enough to get the rewards and kick a few goals," Riewoldt said. "I think I've had an up-and-down season, but it was good to get back here and get a win."

Coburg coach Jade Rawlings said he was impressed with other key Tigers Adam Thomson, Tom Hislop and young ruckmen Adam Pattison and Tyrone Vickery.

Rewoldt kicks a few goals against a very undermanned Collingwood side & Richmond supporters want him back in the seniors
he is the standard of a VFL player, you would expect him to kick a few goals but at AFL level he struggles. He goes missing & stands around alot
until he kicks goals every week at Coburg & gains his confidence in kicking the goals he is meant to get each week than our standard will not reach the height of other clubs
Coburg should be flogging these broken teams

anyone got a pic of Hughes hanger would love to see it  ;D

& its time to blood Vickery or he will be forever ruined  ;D

Story of the day was Riewoldt. Jack has really come on as a footballer. His marking is freakish.

Can't believe some on here are writing him off!!

He's 20!!

im not and have never written him off

just asking him to step up at afl level, he always dominates vfl

maybe it is jacks fault, maybe its the that has no idea ???

Rewoldt will never be a big power forward like other clubs because our fitness & development staff are not upto standard of other clubs
until he puts on bulk and works his lower body strength like many other Richmond players need,  he will be forever knocked off his feet & struggle to kick goals when fatigued.
Watch how easy it is for backmen to hold him off, its like a flee on a dog & the look on his face is like a child sooking when he gets beat
His been struggling to kick goals in the AFL from 40 metres out which shows he needs lower body conditioning & extra fitness work. He himself needs to work harder & the conditioning staff are also to blame down there for not pushing the players hard enough. Too much media time & worried how they look in public, hair styles all the other crap

Rewoldt is at home in the VFL with his mates Edwards & Shulzs who l have also given up on

he has played 2 good games out of the last 3 and its not as if our forward line is firing at the moment.

What a load of rubbish.

Go and tell any AFL expert that the reason why Matthew Richardson misses set shots is cause he hasn't got decent conditioning in his legs.

All you do is complain TigerMonk. Come up with some decent fixes instead of venting your whining old woman rants.

Completely different players and circumstances, Brown has proven himself as he did today, Jack has not made a name for himself yet. Brown was out through injury and Reiwoldt was dropped.

Riewoldt isn't built to be a team's No.1 big power key forward. His body type isn't a bash and crash packs one like his cousin Nick. He's more a Stevie Johnson type who needs a Mooney and Hawkins say next to him up forward so he can use his smarts against a 2nd/3rd defender.

Richo misses goals cause he suffers crowd anxiety.  & l dont see anywhere in my post where l mentioned Richo,  l'm talking about Rewoldt & his under development
do you even know about development & strengthening cause its obvious you dont if you think Rewoldt & other Richmond players aint got problems

sorry MT one word which was meant to be (key) forward which is why he was drafted to the club  ;D instead l used (big)
Rewoldt needs some much needed development in body strength & how to use it. He lacks blocking power to give other forwards a clear go at the ball.
His attack on the ball is not the question as every game you will see him do the 1% but l'm talking about lower body strength & how easy he is thrown off when tackling which in todays game defending the forward zone is just as important.
Richmond might have quick players but l will give a example on 2 players , Cousins when is grabbed has so much strength in his lower body his not easy to pull to the ground & allows him time to turn the attacking player around & offload a split second handball, Shane Tuck, & Trent Cotchin are strong in the lower body this is why they are dominate players but used for differnet reasons
Tuck, Johnson, Jackson used as the blockers while tagged players such as Cousins, Cotchin, now Coughlan have the lower body strength to excell & if caught by the tagger can use that to turn the player & keep the ball moving.

Now for the forwards, Richo is one of the most powerful forwards in the league that is mis-used by his team-mates. Has great hands & great speed to lead but is rarely honored by the time wasters that teams get more players back on him. 1 on 1 you got little chance of outmarking the bigman or beating him or pushing him aside in the contest because of his lower body strength.
Nathan Brown used to be such a player but had his confidence shot & being layed up lost his lower body strength which has robbed the AFL spectators of what he could have really been. His game yesterday is showing his confindence is returning & also spells out why he is suffering groin problems & struggles to kick goals his once did from outside 50. Over the last few seasons his struggled on each leg to kick 40 most times because of that main injury & the recurring problems he had which Chris Newman never had,  but the St-Kilda player ??? & the Swans player l think Lawson did have so Nathan Brown is very lucky to be still playing at all at league level

Rewoldt l have already mentioned & is the reason he got dropped because his not kicking goals & not able to block players out of contests. Being pulled down so easy in that tackle against the Swans was his calling card to work harder cause he collapsed like a baby holding a carrot. That cost us the game & didnot go down well at all. Morton got axed because his doing the same action every week kicking around his body at goal instead of taking a better option & hitting up better options. The 1st thing that comes into his head is to play-on & put himself under preasure is wearing thin & dont be surprised if his axed again next week against Essendon.

MT in a few years will will be talking about Rewoldt but players like Geelongs Johnson are guns because they put the extra work in otherwise he would not be at Geelong
He had no choice as Bomber was about to cut his silly head off. His workrate is excellent & they has better development & conditioning staff & 1 of our Tigerland sons that puts alot in

& as l said above Forwards defending the forward 50 well here is a poor example of coaching yesterday

Richmond players zone off trying to stop the ball being moved from the Port defence  ;D so what did Port do, from the kick-in they went straight down the corridor & kicked a goal like they were the only players on the ground  :lol & a wet ground at that which makes it all the more disappointing. That would be the very 1st video the players would be watching this week l would presume.
They forgot about protecting footballs most gracious peice of land. l just about dropped off my seat & seen it as costing us the game

anyway thats enough l enjoyed the game & popelord l hope now you have a better idea if you think l dont know poo about development & conditioning then maybe you should skip my posts
l simply been pointing out where the club has been going wrong all these years & there are no more excuses left at Tigerland & the supporters know it.
people can go down & watch training from outside all they want but there is alot more going on behind closed doors that is where most of player development goes on
also alot of players take it upon themselves to do thier own advance training which the media takes up most of our players spare time with radio & TV & sponsor commitments ;D is why other clubs are ahead of us in most areas

Round 6 Match Report
COBURG TIGERS V COLLINGWOOD
ABD GROUP STADIUM
SATURDAY 16th MAY
By Glenn Robertson

The Burgers were again at home this week in the Round 6 clash with Collingwood. ThePies were slight favourites heading into the match positioned just ahead of the Burgers on the ladder. After having last week off the Burger boys were feeling fresh and ready for battle. After a tight first couple of quarters the Burgers got on top in the second half and had the match safely in their grasp by three quarter time.

 
Both sides were fierce at the ball from the opening bounce with a large number of stoppages early on. The Pies were the first to score before the Burgers rammed home two majors of their own. A couple of sloppy mistakes form the Burgers handed the Pies with easy goals, but accurate kicking gave the Coburg side a minor three point lead going into the first change.
¼ Time: Coburg 4.0 (24) Collingwood 3.3 (21)

The Burgers were looking a little shaky in the second term, but managed to stay with the Pies side. Collingwood had seemed to somewhat control most of the play in the first half, but the scoreboard did not resemble this as they only led by three points at the main break. Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls, Nick Liddle and Jack Riewoldt were Coburg's standout players in the first half. Riewoldt made a very handy return for the
Burgers, and was a vital component to the boys victory. He starred up forward kicking six majors and having a hand in a few others, finishing with thirteen marks for the game, many of them contested.
½ Time: Coburg 7.3 (45) Collingwood 7.6 (48)

The first ten minutes of the third quarter was similar to the first half with neither side getting a break away, but then the Burgers opened the flood gates! Starting with a domination in the midfield the ball kept getting pumped into the Tigers forward-50 and the forwards clutched onto everything. Riewoldt slammed home two majors while Jay Schultz moved forward to also convert a couple of telling goals. The rampage had the home fans cheering loudly and saw the boys take a massive 38 point lead into the final change.
¾ Time: Coburg 14.9 (93) Collingwood 8.7 (55)

Collingwood kept fighting in the final term booting through four majors, but the Burgers took advantage of their scoring opportunities booting three goals of their own to finish with a fantastic 31 point victory. Adam Thompson was brilliant across half back for the Tigers, while Tom Hislop and Liddle dominated through the midfield. Will Thursfield and Jarrod Silvester controlled the ball down back particularly in the second half and rebounded the ball well out of defence.

This week the Burgers face the struggling Bendigo Bombers side at Queen Elizabeth Oval on Sunday beginning at 2.00pm, while the Reserves start at 11.10am.

Coburg Tigers 4.0  7.3 14.9  17.12 (114)
Collingwood    3.3  7.6   8.7  12.11   (83)

Goal Kickers: J. Riewoldt 6, J. Schulz 2, T. Hislop, N. Carnell, S. Edwards, C. Hughes, N. Caruso, T. Vickery, A. Horne, J. Oakley-Nicholls, N. Liddle

Best Players: N. Liddle, A. Thomson, T. Hislop, J. Riewoldt, W. Thursfield, D. Connors

RESERVES

The Burger reserves played on Sunday against North Ballarat. After a slow start to the season the boys finally clicked into gear with a dominant display over their opposition. With an eight goal lead at the main change the boys had the game wrapped up early. David Gourdis and Ryan Allan were the standout targets up forward contributing nine goals between them, while Jayden Post, Ben Clifton and Nic Cattapan were instrumental in the Burgers victory.

Stats from Rawlings' EOTT report

Connors, Hislop and Thomson played their best games for the year. Hislop 23 disposals. Thomson 7 clearances. Connors praised for having a team mindset.

JON - very good team game. 5 tackles.

Riewoldt - super game. 6 goals, 3 assists

Vickery - 15 hitouts, does the right things at the right time and is improving each week.

Of the two Richmond Ins this week:
Pattison - Was a terrific competitor throughout the four quarters. Had 25 hit-outs and really got us going in the third quarter when we piled on seven goals. Is a fantastic player to coach because he always gives everything he’s got.

Thursfield - Had an ordinary start, but after quarter-time was very competitive down back. When the game was on the line in the last quarter, he stood up in several contests.
