Player Watch Welcome - Matt Coulthard - Pick 4 MSD 2023

[JAKLAUGHING]

Literally changed the whole dynamic of the game when he came on

Speed...we lacked speed...the game is about being fast now...even the umpires back that!

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Im thinking Matt Coulthard lives with the McWalter family and this was a Mrs McWalter selection

Go Well Matty hope you make the position yours

Give this boy the #11 now

 

[MALTSY]

Bat or bowl

He's definitely a good batsman and fielder.

 

[Karp3_dm]

He’s tougher and stronger than he looks at 67kg too
He really cracks in and sticks his tackles

We’ve found a ****en gem

Not sure he might be boarding with Lynch thats who he rang when his first game was announced, mentioned Lynchy's patner as well I think?

Matt Coulthard: what do you want me to do coach?

Mini: run like a greyhound and just get it to Dusty

Matt Coulthard: OK Coach, if I get a chance, I will try and do that 6 or 7 times.

[tigs2010]

The kid just has it

Looking forward to cheering him off for his 300th

 

[Boston tiger]

So your telling me we are 30 points at 3 quarter time and this kid comes on and we win the game !!!

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Mid season draft is turning out to be very fruitful

Particularly if Bauer, who played the best 3 minute debut I've witnessed turns out ok

Good to see we might have a small forward that has the perfect balance btwn attack and defence.

 

[Spluff]

The kid just has it

Just quietly, how about the ability and composure of Baker to spin out of a tackle and hit a free player in a second from the middle of congestion...

 

[Vassp]

what a gun.

[Daka]

Looks like he will be another great midseason pick-up, probably has the best future to date out of the best midseason drafts.

 

[Punt rd end]

I likey very much

 

[tugga]

We may have one here.
could end up being an absolute steal.
had a massive impact.
I thought he was a small forward in the stengle mode, but he pushes up the ground more than stengle.

 

[SouthernStripes]

Loved it how he came in and was commanding the ball straight away. Didn’t let us down either, was silk in every thing he did… blokes mind must be blown - started off the year playing for Port Noarlunga and next minute he’s fronting up playing on the G for the mighty tiges. Hope he can back it up next week

Trezise still has a lot to offer CP

From all reports he is a really good kid, has his head switched on and is popular among the group.
I’m excited.

 

[Spanish_Fly]

Couldnt have been more impressed with this debut, Has to play every game from here on in, same with Banks.

Yeah seems like a nice kid in his interviews - was pure joy on his face after the final siren. You could tell he was proud of his performance as well. Couldnt be happier for him

He does come across as a very level headed and likeable person.

 

[Morro]

He’s been at the club 5 minutes and the way players embraced him after the game was genuine happiness for him.

Coulthard showed pretty clearly yesterday why the Tigers tanked to get pick 4 in the MSD to pick him up.

The most revealing thing is the "8 point game" performance v teams who we were:

1. competing against for Coulthard in the MSD, and

2. competing against for a final 8 berth.

There were 3 phases to our 8 point game season.

Phase 1, Lynch fully fit in rounds 1, 2, 3. 1 win v Crows, 1 draw v Blues, no losses. 1-1-0

Phase 2, lost Lynch long term, switch from flag aspirants to operation "Get Coulthard," to stop other teams being able to select him before us. Losses to Swans, Bombers, Dogs, Suns to strategically slip to 4th in the MSD. One win v Cats because we didn't want to slip further than we needed to get access to Coulthard, and "a little bit of history" with the cheating Cats. 1-4.

Phase 3, Coulthard safely secured in the MSD, a finals position to secure, 4 wins v Swans, Dockers, Giants, Saints. No losses. 4-0

So isn't it funny that when we had reason to win these 8 point games we went 5 wins 1 draw zero losses. And when we had reason to lose these games, we went 1 win 4 losses.

Well played yet again Richmond FC.
