Jack Riewoldt Kicks 9!!!

[Jurica Stockade]

hahah morton.

Haha, Brad Moran.

 

[krustyman]

got excited over the heading, oh dear...reserves!

 

[thegrach]

I went along and had a look Saturday, Reiwoldt played well, good target up forward. that was correct about the Bombers, no Essendon players playing, so probably shouldn't read too much into it.

I went along and had a look Saturday

How did JON play?

How did JON play?

Pertty average. Got a lot of it but it is the same old chesnut with him, poor decision making and disposal.

 

[CoggaRules]

You mean Riewoldt Cogga? If so, then no seems his haul was the 3 goals mentioned above but it does seem like Morton had a good day, albeit against a second rate VFL side, so I would expect them to dominate games like this, the more pleasing news from my part was Cogs played the majority of the game and got plenty of touches, just the sort of confidence boost he would need.

the thing is that what you expected is what you got. That is the pleasing thing. 9 goal haul is what I expect from an AFL class player, playing in such a game. Now we have an AFL class player.

Its funny how some on here post stuff like;

'Ohh, only against Bendigo reserves'
'No AFL-listed players means jack shit'


Think before you type, our AFL-listed players should be having performances like that against that level of competition, I'd be worried if they were having quiet games.

 

[emperor]

^^^agree with sante, you'd be worried if he didn't get near it all day day, not for kicking 9 (almost a third of the total goals kicked)

also lmao @ all the opposition supporters coming in trying to deningrate morton because of past issues etc...instead of posting broad generalised shit, why not back it up with the actual details of his 'attitude' or 'problems'

posting "after hearing about the saga etc" is just bullshit, back up your posting with actual examples fellas, then a proper discussion about Morton can be had

 

[emperor]

Why? Morton was a grade-A Tosser and thought he was god's gift. and thats the only reason he was kept out of the side

a bit like...nah i won't go there

While it is a great performance to kick 9 in any game, my point was refering to how many times we have seen our players cut a VFL side to pieces then do nothing when given the chance at AFL level. I'm just hoping that Morton is not another one that gets added to that list and until he comes out and kicks 4-5 against an AFL side I'll keep my excitement in check, been burnt too many times in the past.

dont want him to kick 4-5 against an AFL side. 3 or 2 a game for 15 games is ok with me. 4-5 once or twice and we are back to what we are used to. Waiting for an eternity because it happened once. Ala the sarge.

I get what you're saying and I suppose I should clarify my point a little more, when I said kicking 4-5 against an AFL team, I meant we should save the hype for when he does that, but will be happy to see him with an average of 15 odd possies and 1-2 goals per game for 22 weeks.

there is hype and there is hype...he kicked 9...he didnt kick 3 or 4...he kicked a bag...we havent really seen or heard of anyone kicking a bag for while in the VFL or beyond. The hype is justified...top pick..getting a bag...is good. Top pick fnding his feet, needs to develop, needs time needs this needs that, isnt. Had he had a quiet 3 then we would be saying, you beaut..he got amongst them..good opening for a kid. He didnt get amongst them, he tore them a new one. So we go from there.

 

[richois god]

so riewoldt kicked three and mortan kicked nine

IIRC didn't Jay kick 9 last year against Tassie, so are we back to hyping him up again.

As I said AFL players tearing a VFL reserves sides a new one is all well and good but I think I'll stick with saving the excitement until he and others start performing consistently at AFL level. After all who really gives a rats clacker how well Coburg goes, I mean they played a GF last year while Richmond won 3 games for the season, so VFL form really translated into AFL form didn't it.

 

[Bojangles17]

Facts are that with Browny, Lids and Pettifer sewing up the mid marking forward posts, both MM and JR are going to have to put their best foot forward to get a game or alternately look at being a little versatile as they wont be starting ahead of the first three

 

[Tigersman]

Good on Morton.

he kicked nine which is more than we would have hoped for and all people post is "so he should".

Geez, lighten up people.

A great start to what I hope is a great career with the tigers.

 

[Tigersman]

I read in an earlier post that Gourdis played in the Coburg reserves and still had trouble with the pace of the game.

That pace would be slower than a good local game!

Hope he picks it up soon.

 

[sante]

FWIW, its pretty impressive to kick 9 as a HFF/Midfielder

I'm not saying it isn't impressive, what I am saying is that I will be more excited when he is getting 15-20 odd possies and 1-2 goals a week at AFL level while playing in a winning Tigers team.

LMAO...naa man, what you dont get is that there were better options playing at Coburg but we couldnt rock the boat when it came to the Cotch!!

I mean give me a break, the same hacks who have been there for eternity were there in the seniors doing what they have done forever. **** things up at the most inopportune moment for us. If we needed the next to get back in the game, yep they got it and yep they would **** it up. It became so predictable it was comical. I mean, i lost count at how many times i turned to the mates, just when Tivendale or Tuck or Hyde got their hands on the pill and said, now watch this, turnover on the way, and 9 times out of 10 it happened. Like even I couldnt believe how predictable they were. It was a good laugh. Oh..i forgot Captain turnover too, he rapidly moved into the number 1 muppet seat.
