Coburg vs Collingwood, Sat May 28 --- Live on ABC TV

[one-eyed]

This has the signs of a 100 point loss  . The Pies are just waltzing through the corridor without a Coburg player near them.

Massive kick by Griffiths but Gus' snap hits the post.

The Pies gift another shot for goal from their kick-in against the run of play. Murphy (first gamer) goals.

Ridiculous rule if that's 50m  . Gifts the Pies a goal. Coburg were back in the game too.

Free to Derickx in the burger forward on the boundary but he kicks a point.

Saw Griffiths take a very nice overhead contested mark on the wing, quickly played on and found his target by foot

Only two RFC players in the top 8 Coburg possession getters. Not a big surprise as most RFC players are talls at Coburg.

Graham    3k  0h  2m
Hislop      3k  1h   1m


Graham at least provided a contest at the centrebounces compared to Derickx but Coburg are still getting smashed in the centre clearances 5-0.
Griffiths has taken a couple of nice marks across CHF and done some nice things.
Postie doesn't have big stats but he's lead up to the wing a couple of times to provide and option and contested when outnumbered.
Goo and Astbury have struggled.
Hislop looks like he is playing across HB.
Nason in a back pocket.
Westhoff took a good mark but then fluffed his only kick.

Umps favouring the Pies big time  . Post dragged in the marking contest but the umps were the only ones who didn't see it

Karma. Umps finally give us a break. Goldsack gave a free away to Hislop 40m out when the ball was on the wing. Lucky as Astbury stuffed up his kick.

Sam Power smothered a Pies kick and Grgic gets it forward to Murphy who goals.

Griffths good mark and give again  .

Power's nice pass ends up with Gus 20m out who goals and puts Coburg in front

Who is this "Murphy", my count makes that 3 goals and apparently he is a first gamer?

[Infamy]

Gourdis takes what will probably be mark of the day in defence but while on the ground handpasses to a team mate under pressure
Hard to know if the player called for it

Hislop has marked about 30m out on a 45 degree angle, plays on and kicks a goal but he is called back and kicks it anyway, he's been good, clean by foot all day

Murphy is a Coburg listed player playing his first game. He's about the same size as Nahas by the look of him.

Brainfades by Astbury, Gourdis and Westhoff have the Pies back on top.

But Hislop gets one back. His second.

Coburg stop playing xself-destruct braindead footy  and Rayson finds Post on his own 80m out who chips it to #8 for a goal.

Good play by McErlain finds Carnell who goals.
