Coburg vs Casey, Sunday June 19

[Coach]

 

The only reason we would need to bring Graham back is to belt that McBurger umpire. That way that bastard gets his right whack and Gus gets banned for life.

Excellent!  We sing off the same sheet of music then.

How dare you talk about our prize cow that way. King Island's best fluffer.

The Coburg Report
By Tony Greenberg
Tue 21 Jun, 2011


Development coach, David Newett, provides a summary of how the Richmond-listed players performed at AFL level with Coburg in last Sunday’s upset victory over the Casey Scorpions . . .

David Gourdis
Again was Coburg’s best player.  Shut Brendan Fevola out of the game with an excellent defensive performance.  Provided strong rebound and was composed with the ball in the offensive chains.  Took some good intercept marks and finished with 20 possessions.

Ben Griffiths
In tough conditions for tall forwards, he provided a target for the team and competed well in the air, as well as at ground level.


Ben Nason
Produced a more consistent effort across the four quarters.  Provided outside run on the wing and was involved in some scoring opportunities.


Angus Graham
Fought well in the ruck against quality opposition.  Provided a contest throughout the game and finished with 26 possessions, nine marks and 24 hit-outs.


Shane Tuck
With numerous stoppages across the game, the conditions were ideal for the experienced, inside midfielder to accumulate a team-high 31 possessions.  Worked consistently throughout with strong tackling and hard-ball gets.

Brad Helbig
His best performance for the season with Coburg.  Displayed good ball-winning ability, clean disposal, and speed to break the lines.


Jamie O’Reilly
Looked more comfortable and contributed well in defence, curbing opponents’ influence.  Had limited impact offensively, but did use his possessions to the team’s advantage. 


Matthew White
Performed very well in his return to the VFL level, until copping an injury early in the final quarter.  Was a catalyst in the team’s win with a top-quality, 10-possession third quarter against the strong wind.  Won the ball at ground level, provided strong outside run, and used his possessions effectively.

Mitch Morton
Played his role extremely well in his return to VFL football.  Was competitive at both ends of the ground and capped his game off with a good goal.   

Ben Jakobi
Played wing and half-back in his first senior VFL game for the season.  Provided good rebound from defence and kept opponents in check.

Robbie Hicks (Coburg reserves)
Had more involvement on a consistent basis in the reserves side.  Worked harder both defensively and offensively.  Was dangerous around goals early, but didn’t capitalise on his opportunities.

Dean MacDonald (Coburg reserves)
Struggled to get into the game at reserve-grade level, but did impact when in possession.

Seniors

We went out to a windy Casey Fields to face an experienced Casey team.

The conditions resulted in inaccurate kicking all day and once again we got off to a slow start and could have been in trouble had Casey kicked straight in the 1st quarter.

We however came out in the 2nd quarter and were ourselves wayward in shots at goal and scored 4.10 to 3.0 which made the game within our grasp at halftime.

The 3rd quarter was tight and we went into the 3rd quarter break 4 points down.

The final quarter was one of the best we have played in a long time and we finally hit the front for the first time at the 20 minute mark and held on to that lead for what seemed an eternity with a 35min quarter due to the many stoppages.

It was a great result for the club coming off a 104 points thrashing from Port Melbourne and to come out and beat a side in 3rd position at their home ground showed great character from the playing group.

David Gourdis did a fantastic job on Fevola keeping him to 1 goal .

Angus Graham gave us first use of the ball in the ruck and he also racked up over 20 possessions.

Sam Power was aggressive at the contests as was Shane Tuck.

Young Willie Wheeler was solid all day but his last quarter was unbelievable and he is only playing in his 7th senior game of VFL football.

Matt White gave us drive off the wing and Casey could not match his pace

Goals:Wheeler 3,Murphy 2,Morton,Jordon,White Lynch

Coburg: 0.1 4.11 6.14 9.18 72
Casey: 3.7 6.7 7.12 8.14 62

 

Development:

There is a saying...bad kicking is bad football.

Unfortunately our young side could not take advantage of having the ball inside our 50 regularly and we had 26 shots on goal to Casey 29,but went down by 11 goals.

The boys will learn from this and work on their composure when kicking at goal .

There were some solid contributions from Jamason Daniels who accepted his demotion on the chin and Dave Fahey gave us drive from the backline with his run and long kicking.

Luke Cartelli tried hard all day and Pat Ambrose was a focal target up forward but unfortunately was inaccurate with his kicking.

The boys face another tough opponent this week in Werribee but will be competitive as they have been all year.

Goals: Lirosi 2,Daniels 2,Barrack,Cartelli

Coburg: 3.8 3.11 5.19 6.20
Casey: 2.1 8.5 11.6 19.10
