Coburg vs Northern Bullants - Sunday, April 17

[jackstar is back again]

Jordan Bannister ex Blue is umpiring, will give his old team mates a fair go??

[one-eyed]

According to the commentators....
Browne has been the dominant ruckman and taken a couple of good marks in defence (made one turnover at the end).
Dea has got a couple of fists in and marks on the line to save a goal or two.
Power would be the top possession getter.
Kahlefelt started well but drifted out.

Postie has had plenty of chances but missed them.

We're breaking down from the kick off HB. Bullants getting numbers behind the ball and Goo and the other Coburg defender kicking the ball OOTF  .

I've got radio working fine.

Shane Tuck now in the middle of the ground on Brock McLean.

Power inside 50. Clifton tapped it on and a roving goal to Carnell

Commentators critical of Nason. Not attacking the ball hard enough or getting into the game.

Snap by Hicks and it shaves the post.

Coburg had the numbers in defence but poor decision making and poor handballs gifts possession to the bullants and a goal

Goo may have been carried off the ground. Commentators still checking who it is.

Derickx now in the ruck.

Sheesh we are struggling to get the ball outside defensive 50  .

[one-eyed]

Finally get the ball out of defence. Browne marks on 50 but we have no one ahead of him. Kept his composure and patience and finally Contin offers a lead and marks. Goal

Goo is still on so he's fine.

Derickx drops a sitter in defence. Coburg still able to get the quick kick out but only to the wing where it's turned over. Results in a Bullants goal.

Browne back in the ruck and gets the free but once inside forwsrd 50 the Bullants clear easily. Not much forward pressure.

Bullants though turn it over to Nason who then turns it over himself. Bullants get another goal. They are working harder and pressuring better.

Farmer hits up Lawton who gives to Power. Cartelli tries to mark it on his chest and it's spoiled but it's a free. Gives it to Webberley long from 50m but it's touched.

Better pressure frm Coburg forces the mistake. Hicks has another snap and misses again.
