VFL Game Day VFL Round 6: Coburg vs Essendon (150-61 win)

[MAAAATTDAAAAMON]

Experiment a Hooker - Hurley - Ambrose backline and a Daniher - Stewart - Bellchambers forward line?

Very poor when ball goes to ground forward.

Bellchambers replaces Hooker who is probably the slowest of our current forward-line. Daniher and Stewat are both extremely agile for their sizes and we've still got Fantasia, Tippa and Green. I know it won't happen but still......

Very poor when ball goes to ground forward.

Not saying I'm one for putting hooker back now, he's been training as a forward and is intent on playing it. But really.. the smalls are the ones who get the ball when it goes to ground, not the big blokes.

Too good for this level but don't know if he can do it playing seniors.

Of course he can do it at senior level. He played one senior game (first in 695 days) and finished the game with 6 contested marks and a goal in the 2nd half. He won the hit outs but didn't dominate. People criticised him heavily for this.

Next week Melbourne plays Adelaide in Adelaide and Jacobs did similar to TBC (didn't dominate the ruck despite Melbourne playing their 3rd string ruckman). Melbourne crushed them out of the centre.

Luey goes ok and tries hard. But he gets no goals, rarely takes a mark forward or back and when he lines up on a class ruckman, he gets crushed, eg Sandilands 60 tapouts to 19.

TBC is likely to add more to our team than Luey. The challenge is there for Luey to lift his game or make way for a guy in good form.

Apparently the bell tolls for Tom today.

In a bee gees, Hemingway or metallica kind of way?

Don't know who would go out for Tbell be nice to have to capable rucks tho.

The last two but not the first.

Would someone who went to the game be a sick campaigner and tell us how our AFL listed players went today?

I was there for the whole game but wouldn't have a clue But I can tell you how good Coburg Lager is!

Spent the whole day chatting to my fellow Brunswick/Coburg mates.

Was a great day.

Great result though, always a good sign when the VFL team has a big win.

 

[ezard15]

ps I did manage to tell Fantasia he is a superstar today. He laughed and said "thanks mate"

I think we are now besties.

 

[ghostdog]

I just don't see where he fits in at the next level because he's not going to have it that easy at the next level and his mobility is not good enough to play deep forward at the next level.

Cue TBell fan club and that game v. Port Adelaide.

This. TBell drifts forward and kicks goals. Luey has already said quite openly that he's a pure ruckman and not terribly good forward. TBell plays angry and should be first ruck IMO.

He's definitely putting his hand up for a recall. Woosha seems reluctant to play two ruckman though so interesting times for Belly.

Yeah, Leuenberger needs his best game tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to Jobe, Myers and Heppell getting fitter too. If TBell plays ruck and gets to tap to these guys again, the service for Zach and Parish etc could be so slick.

Coburg lager tent, great hamburgers, Italian food truck and crap loads of seats. Top notch local footy setup.

Raz was a champ. There was a group of about 15 players including Hepell, Zerrett, Hurley and McGrath but the kids all went to Raz for an autograph.

Being such a good Italian boy he was there with his dad. Pretty sure he is also the teachers pet... Only player to go sit with whoosh at any time .

Did you kick any sausages?

 

[Mootsy]

Bellchambers is the definition of earned the call up for a game...

 

[vaughany]

Dreamtime or the GWS game for a Bellchambers recall?

Actually I did kick a few yesterday. Then again so did my mate who is a Kiwi and was kicking torps off his opposite from 40 in the pocket. There must have been a vacuum behind the goals.

Yeah I must admit I had a ripper of a day.

Tool the little fella to his first game (he is 7 months old) with the wife.

Two other couples we are good friends with took their bubbas and a whole other bunch of friends that don't even like footy came along as they live in Coburg/Brunswick.

The Coburg tent is incredible compared to buying terrible beer at the MCG and Etihad. $6 for a decent sized cup of good beer.

Helps that I live just around the corner but it was a bloody great day/awesome atmosphere.
