I went to the game at Vic Park today. Coburg looked gone for all money at half time, four goals down in a low-scoring game. But as with Richmond last week, when the rain came down in the second half thay went up a couple of notches.
Very impressed with Grimes at full-back. He reads the play well, contests hard, is cool and composed in heavy traffic, and his kicks always hit a target.
Once he fills out a bit he'll be a definite upgrade on McGuane.
Westhoff too was very impressive, a strong mark, good shot at goal, and even ran back to help in defence when Sandy were pushing hard late in the last quarter.
Somebody who wasn't mentioned in the post-match write up was Alroy Gilligan, who is very quick and elusive, and a smart user of the ball through the middle/half forward.
Contin I thought made a number of silly mistakes today. But the sheer amount of the ball he won probably made up for it.
