Great games by Post, Grimes and Rance! All seemed to gel together today and feed off each other.
Also How good is it to finally have a ruck man with a brain :gotigers

We had the stronger side on paper and showed it on the scoreboard over all 4 quarters. We didn't do a freo and struggle for 3.5 qtrs against our 2nd string side last week. Well done Tiges. A very professional win across the park. Dimma and the coaching staff will be very happy with how the preseason is progressing so far towards round 1.


Wow thats pretty impressive, now please tell me no injuries or reports?????
None that I know of WAT. Hopefully we got through unscathed which is the main thing this time of the year.

Very good thanks MT, now what about King, how much are we going to miss round one???
There's probably only two spots for A.Maric, Kingy and Nahas and A.Maric has been the best of those three this preseason. Conca will be back for round 1 so we should cover for Kingy fairly easily IMO.

Great to hear, hopefully Maric will get the gig.

Lids and Conca to come back into the side, makes for a very good looking midfield.

One word, "whoa" ..Not totally unexpected i must say...the cats had a number of senior players coming into the side for their first hitout however we were relentless. Big Ivan controlling the middle and our midfield pack was simply unstoppable...Martin, grigger, foley, edwards, Cotch in and out. lil maric should have slotted 3 , his radar was out..set up at least 2 though. JR8 is in great touch right now...whoa, Id hate to be lining up on him r 1 . grimesy, what did I say about this kids hands like a stell trap...was unstoppable at CHB and just quietly keep an eye on Posty he has improved like the blazes. word is the development cvoaches have put a power of work into him :shh

anyhow, im not getting too carried away, result didnt surprise me and rounds off our prep beautifully as we can now cotton wool our thoroughbreds and send an U23 squad to ACT :gotigers

I would be sending the Coburg side to the ACT, at least all the Rookies, forget Martin, Cothchin, Foley, Maric x 2 (even though one is a rookie), Grimes, Rance, Jack, Tuck.

Just play a very ordinary side against GWS...

^ spot on good sir...backmen all looked really good together - add Newy's & Houli's run and carry and there was a bit to like (all be it against an undermanned side - though the forward line did have Pods and THawk)...

couldn't agree more re Anna Ivan-avic either - not only has some ruck smarts but good around ground and loves a contest...seeing him tackle and sheppard was just as pleasing...
...the fighting fury...
