Coburg vs Box Hill, Saturday August 6

[one-eyed]

1/4 time

Coburg   1.4-10
Box Hill   5.4-34

Goal: Hicks


Coburg has had enough footy but is playing dumb footy in the conditions. Gifted 3 goals to Box Hill due to bad turnovers.

We get the first centre clearance and Hore has a set shot but it's a point.

Box Hill then go coast to coast from the kick-in for a goal  .

It would've been handy today if Miller was playing for Coburg to provide a tall target rather than Coburg mids trying to hit up Jordon and Hicks inside 50.

Griffiths not playing then OE?

I haven't heard his name at all so I'm presuming smokey he's in Perth as 23rd man.

Post, Browne, Hicks, Nason, Webberley, O'Reilly and Contin are playing.



Commentators praising Webberley's game and saying BrownE was starting to get on top in the ruck and taking uncontested marks around the ground since one of Box Hill's big men went off injured in the first quarter. That's about it sadly as Coburg has been very poor in dealing with the sloggy conditions and Box Hill's pressure and intensity. Post seems to have had the better of Lisle defensively.

Possies to half-time

Post    14 ... good game. played 2nd ruck as well to give Browne a chop-out.
Clifton 13
Browne 12 ... dominated that quarter in the ruck they just said. The commentators want him to push into the goalsquare when there's a kick to Coburg from 50-60m out.
O'Reilly 12
Webberley  12 and 3 marks, 3 tackles
Contin  7
Nason  5 ... started in backline but then moved him forward to try and get something going. Coburg needs tall forwards not more smalls up there.
Hicks    4

Goal to Bateman for BH. Sounds like they have more Hawthorn-listed players than we have RFC blokes.

Wheeler kicked the last goal btw.

Slack defence from the Burgers but thankfully Breust stuffs it up. We then gift it straight back to BH and they goal  .
