Coburg vs Collingwood - Sunday June 24

[one-eyed]

Sounds like our game last week against GWS

Yep haven't made them pay.

Coburg dominated the first 10 minutes of that qtr peppering the forward 50 but could only kick one goal. Collingwood then gained the momentum with a couple of goals. Coburg wrestled the momentum back by the 20min mark but once again couldn't make the most of their stack on inside 50s. The Pies then kick a couple of late goals to stay in it. Plenty of poor turnovers by both sides in the quarter. Both sides must be tiring.

The problem for Coburg is they are getting forward but aren't taking marks like they did in the first half and a pack forms allowing the Pies to get numbers back and then counter with their forward line open.

Free to Whitey at the start of the last. Browne marks at CHF. Kicks it into the mark  . Murphy gets it back. Elton almost marks it but it's spoiled for a point.

We've kicked 6.18 since kicking the first two goals of the game. The pies have kicked 7 straight.

McGuane had a chance to get a holding a ball decision in front of the sticks but he's goes high and gives away the free.

Wheeler goes long inside 50. The Tiger ladies in the crowd shout "BALL!"  .

Gus takes himself high at the ball-up 

Verrier snaps a point.

We went inside 50 4 times and failed to touch it.

Postie good tackle forces a turnover. To White who goes inside 50 to Murphy 45m on the lead out directly in front. Goes short to Carnell who just hangs on to it. 40m out and goals

Coburg wins the clearance and goes inside 50. Pies get a quick kick out but straight to Gus. Helicopter kick goes straight to a Pie who rebounds. End to end stuff last couple of minutes.

50m to Coburg in defence. Brandt in the middle to Whitey, dances around a Pie and goes long. Throw-in 15m out. Murphy snaps another point.

Sounds like Grimes only played a half as I haven't heard his name since half-time.

27 mins Q4. I would say Coburg are safely home now. The intensity of the game has dropped.

Vendetti goals to seal it.

Coburg centre clearance and McGuane marks well for his 7th shot on goal. 40m out. Poster. That's 2.5 for Lukey.
