Rohan Preston Hangs Up The Boots

16/6/2015

The Club wishes to advise that Superules veteran and Club stalwart Rohan Preston has announced his retirement from football.

After succumbing to injury Rohan has decided to call it quits on his playing days after 13 years of football at Coburg. He was unable to get up for a farewell game which would have been fitting for a man of his stature.

Rohan, who is a real character and is known for his quick wit joined in 2002, became a Life Member in 2013, and played 85 games for the Club. He coached Reserves between 2012-2014, was Assistant Coach in the 2009 grand final winning team, and was named Assistant Coach in the Team of Decade 2002-2012.


All is not lost though, Rohan whilst not able to compete on the field will still be around as a member of the Club , supporting and participating a social member. When you see him around say “thanks” on a wonderful contribution to our Club on the field.

Great Fundraising Effort For Brave Lorenzo

16/6/2015

0 Comments

 
The All of Club Players Day held on Sunday was a great event despite numbers being a little down, the BBQ was in full swing and the beers were flowing.

During this event we ran a number of fundraising initiatives to raise funds for brave young 9-year Old, Lorenzo Santalucia who has been diagnosed with Ewings-Sarcoma a rare form of bone cancer.

Lorenzo is the nephew of one of our sponsors Electech and was present on Sunday for the fundraiser. He's a great kid, full of energy and happiness.

Once again member dug deep and thanks to their generosity we raised $813 which we hope will go some way to helping him overcome his illness. The club also presented him with a Geelong Football Club jumper signed by the Geelong team. Obviously Lorenzo is a big fan of the Cats!

Thanks to everyone who contributed on the day. In particular Berra Meats for supplying the meat and the meat trays for the raffle and Werribee Football Club who got behind the initiative and also supplied a meat tray. Chris Spencer, Brett Gardener, Gary Gardener and Ang Chiodo who all helped out on the BBQ during the day.

Legends Make It 4 From 4, Reserves Go Down

14/6/2015

0 Comments

 
It was beaut day for footy and the Legends made it four wins on the trot with gutsy win over cross town rivals Essendon.

In a tight, seesawing affair the Legends held Essendon goalless in the third term and made the most of their opportunities to sneak home by 3-points.

There were many tired bodies post game but they sang the song with gusto and it was a well-deserved victory.


Just reward for the effort and hard work the Over 50s have been putting in throughout the season. They are a united unit that appear ready to take a big scalp and none would be better that top place team Beaconsfield in two weeks. This win puts the Legends into outright third place on the ladder.

Playing against strengthen Werribee outfit the Reserves kicked 4-goals straight to hold a 3-point lead at quarter time, but a number of turnovers in the second and third terms meant they could not maintain the lead throughout the afternoon.

Despite being down by 17-points at ¾ time the Reserves had their chances to snatch a win however some wayward kicking in the last term ultimately cost them the 4 points.

Winning Streak Continues For Legends

4/6/2015

Theo Grimaldi celebrated his 100th game in the best way possible as the Legends ran out big winners by 43-points over Ascot Vale.
 
It was a great turnaround considering their last quarter fade out against Ascot Vale in round 2. That's 4 out of 5 for Coburg and 4-points clear in third place.
 
The defence was brilliant keeping Ascot Vale goalless for the entire match and the effort was capped off with a 5-goal last quarter which also included a “supergoal” from Rodney Craig.
 
Theo Grimaldi ran through the banner accompanied by his daughters and joined in the on-field party with a goal of his own in the second quarter. It was fitting performance both honouring the “T” and the Ladies Days fundraiser.
 
Despite wayward kicking in front of goal the Reserves had crushing 60-point victory ending a mini drought that had dogged them in the last three rounds.
 
There was plenty to like about the win, energy, effort and positivity were the order of the day with only blight being inaccuracy that resulted in 21 behinds being kicked on day. Coburg murdered Ascot Vale in the centre clearances and if they had their kicking boots on the victory might have been much greater.
 
Jason Baker and Marco Rabar landed 3 goals apiece in the top notch effort.
 
Disappointingly the Supers once again failed to fire a shot after half-time going down 41-points in an insipid performance that left everyone at the ground wondering why Coburg are unable to put teams to the sword when they get themselves in a good position to do so.
 
It’s twice in as many matches that the Coburg have gone scoreless in the third term allowing their opponents a sniff. At times it was an selfish and undisciplined performance marred by a lack of desire, urgency and the appetite for the contest. Seemingly Coburg have forgotten how to win.
 
The coaching staff know the team have the personnel and capability, we’ve witnessed the effort in patches, the players now just need to find the necessary spark to get the season back on track.

It may have been an up and down day on-field but off-field the Ladies Day “Pull On Your Socks” McGrath Foundation fundraiser was a beauty, in fact the best ladies day yet.
 
With 50+ ladies in attendance they were treated to gourmet chicken and champagne luncheon, were entertained by musician Nathan Lippiat and we able to browse and participate in a number of stalls set up on the day.

It was a well organised event and great set up and Coburg FC General Manager Craig Lees echoed those remarks in an email to the club. It was also great to have the support of our VFL team who dropped down on the day after their morning recovery session.
 
The event raised an overwhelming $2,680. So its big thanks for everyone who sold tickets, bought tickets and donated prizes for the raffle to make it such a huge success.

We would like to say thanks to the following individuals for their contribution:
 
Linda Harbourd
Cherie Spencer
Georgina Hursey
Cathy Haddad
Maria Ristic
Karen McKay
Michelle Lowe
Brett Gardiner
Salina Hick
Paul Turner
Gracie O'brien
Kira Price
 
Also thanks to following supporters of the day and the cause who donated time and prizes:

And a host of other small business who participated
 
And of course the Event Organiser Michelle Lewis for all the hard work she put in to pull this special day together! Next time you see Michelle around the club, say “thanks”.

As a final note. It hits close to home when we hear that one of own is affected by a form of cancer. The Nephew of one of our Sponsors Electech Australia Pty Ltd has been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called Ewings-Sarcoma. His name is Lorenzo Santalucia and he is just 9 years old.
 
Michelle also organised a bucket collection on the day for the young boy who is a beloved supporter of Geelong Football Club and we also thank everyone who donated.
 
We will also be running further fundraising to help this little fella get the necessary treatment. Our club has already demonstrated its commitment to these causes so we will be asking you to dig deep again to help over the next few weeks.
