Yeah... went back and noticed that about 1 hour in to my wasted radio surfing haha. Still, annoying that the vfl stat site is down, hopefully up for tomorow, I know which of the two games I'd prefer to be watching.

Given the fact we're playing the Cats in the AFL, I'm almost guessing that this game will now hold much more interest for a lot of people with Griffiths being named at FF for the senior Coburg side and not even named in the reserves.

Seniors:
B: Webberley Post Farmer
HB: Connors Gourdis Dea
C: A.Collins Thomson White
HF: McMahon Polak Carnell
F: Hislop Griffiths Roberts
R: Simmonds Piuselli Kahlefeldt
I/C: Browne Contin Graham O'Rielly Jordon M.Smith Morgan
Dennis Rayson Bisetto* Morris Clifton

Reserves:
Grimes & Contin named on HBF. Hicks on a HFF. Westhoff in the FP. Also for those of us who took a liking to Lawton from last week he has been named as CHF for the reserves.

Bloody good side.

The back six looks very strong.

 

[Ferdinand Lewis]

I'd love to see Griffiths come in against Essendon

Gumbleton does not get a touch and Griffs kicks a bag

 

[Rayzorwire]

lol at Murray Rance looking anything like a tribal elder

LMAO...you're in form tonight Bo.

 

[Kapital city TIGER]

We can play as many Richmond listed players as we want I believe because we're playing Sandringham, who are the St. Kilda reserves.

got ya, thanks for that- No scores yet? thought someone wld be there-
see if Lawton lines up at chf for the Coburg ressies and see how Contin , Grimes go...

would be looking for a win Coburg with almost an entire Richmond listed sidew in...

 

[Danog]

Anyone going to the game take notice of the Stanley / Gourdis match up, provided Post gets Patto and McEvoy changing in the forward line, Goo should get Stanley, both top athletes, Stanley won the Grand Final sprint last year and has been in good form at Sandy, with Big Nik out of the Saints side he must be close to a debut call up, Gourdis has done evertyhing right this year and also must be close to his debut, should be a top clash

I'm going. I'll look out for all RFC players, but specifically Griffiths, Gourdis, Contin, O'Reilly and Webberley.

 

[Grockadoc]

Hey Danog, Could you keep an eye out for Westhoff for me? Wouldnt mind hearing about all of our KP Forwards

 

[Danog]

I'm only going to the seniors.

Reserves:
Sandringham 5.1 8.1 14.7 19.13 (127)
Coburg Tigers 2.0 5.0 6.1 7.2 (44)

GOALS: Westhoff 2 Lawton 2 Duhau Hicks Gestier

No Richmond listed players named in the bests for the ressies. Good to see Westhoff kick a couple though.

 

[SteveoTheTiger]

Whats that, 10 goals in 3 weeks for Hoff?? I hope he can put on some weight and keep doing that in the 2nds.

Edit: actually i think it might be 8 goals in 3 weeks.. still not bad.

 

[_RT_]

Quarter time:
Sandringham 2.7 Coburg 0.3.

Looks like it could be a bad day all around for club.

 

[_RT_]

Half time:
Sandringham 4.9
Coburg 5.4

 

[darcytiger]

[darcytiger]

Sandringham 2.7 4.9 10.15 .
Coburg Tigers 0.3 5.4 8.6 .

looks like there poor kicking is keeping us in it. Apparantly Polak is proving a hand full for the defence

Good to see Polak amongst the goals and named best for Coburg.

Look forward to reports from those who went down to see how they saw his performance

Serious question; have Coburg won a game this year?

They beat Box Hill last week, just.

To be fair to Coburg their combined losses this year are around 20 points. They are thereabouts every week and just don't have that ability to close games out.

umm, last week

Just got back from the game. Their kicking did keep us in it but the game was lost in 15 mins after half time when Sandy kicked four unanswered goals. White had been very good in the midfield in the first half but lined up at half forward in the 3rd Q, and the ball didn't get there. He then spent time on the bench before finally going into the centre, where he was great for the rest of the game. Alongside Connors, who was the classiest player on the ground, he was Coburg's best.

The next two best RFC players were Polly and Goo at either end. Polly kicked 3 (including a boomer from outside 50 that makes you wonder why he doesn't always kick like that), took some strong marks and competed well on the ground and when outnumbered in the air. He'll get a game for Richmond on that form.

So will the Goo, when the time comes. He is super quick and backs himself to dash out of defence. Read the ball well, took some good marks and hit the ground running, and spoiled his man when he had to. No problems with his kicking. He decked Sautner in the 2nd after copping one himself. Not sure if he got reported but the ump reversed the free to Sautner.

Hislop and McMahon were the next best RFC players. They are deadset opposites. Hislop was always in the thick of it but let himself down with his execution at times. McMahon ran well to link and used it well but a couple of times you just think 'god he's soft'.

Thomson is a plodder, even at VFL level. Post struggled. Just looks out of touch. Contin looks a good driver in heavy traffic but had little influence. Gus and Browne had a good battle with McEvoy (the best ruckman on the ground), Patto and occasionally Stanley, who caught the eye with his pace and spring but little else. The Irishman is a competitor but should never attempt to bounce the ball.

I think that's everyone.





Oh no, wait. Big Griff. He's a fair way off yet. Struggled to get his hands on it. Very athletic, did take one strong mark on the lead under pressure in the last, and was unlucky that Connors' one stinker of a kick was directed at him and grubbed along the ground a long way from him when he had got clear in the second quarter and could have done with a touch. Still, he played the whole game after just a half of VFL 2nds two weeks ago, and will be better for the run.

I know I was one who got excited about Kahlefeldt last week but he is nowhere near as good as Matt White. Rookie at best.

Thanks for the report RATD. Looks like we can expect more of the same for the rest of the year with fringe players rotating in and out of the Tigers lineup. On todays effort I wouldn't mind Polak coming in and giving Jack a chop out up forward and can't wait for Connors to get back. Given Lids form on the HBF over the last few weeks would it be worth moving Lids back into the middle and having Connors take his spot or leaving Lids there and looking at Connors playing off a wing.
