Coburg vs Box Hill --- Sat. April 27

[WilliamPowell]

When are we going to play Ben Darrou. Might not have the body but is a seriously good footballer!
Hasn't been beaten this year!

Won't be soon

He's a rookie and not a promoted one so he can't play in the AFL

He is slowly earning a promotion with any long term injury!

That would depend on if we get along term injury who it is wouldn't it?

If we lose a mid, I can't see Ben getting promoted ahead of Verrier or Lonegran

[Yeahright]

Depends if we believe we have the depth to cover it outside the rookie list. Just from our outs for the Freo game I'd have Tuck, Arnott, O'Hanlon and Foley in before them two

Pretty much game over unless the breeze drops.

Box Hill had no problem scoring against the breeze so not sure why it's pretty much game over, don't be a flog

Coburg applied no pressure that's why Box Hill scored so many goals into the breeze. Coburg is continually under pressure on the other hand. It's been all Box Hill in general play since qtr time.

So the breeze will have nothing to do with it. Cheers for agreeing with me.

You said I was a "flog" for saying the game was over at 3/4 time. Scoreboard would say otherwise and I was right  . Coburg hasn't kicked a goal into the breeze in this last qtr. Long kicks continually getting held up and Coburg being forced wide.

Goal to BH btw. 95 - 123

No I said don't be a flog for using the breeze as an excuse. Had nothing to do with why coburg were behind nor why they wouldn't get back into the game.

I wasn't using the breeze as an excuse. I was simply stating that if we've wasted the strong breeze in the 3rd (which we did both offensively missing goals and defensively gifting goals through mostly undisciplined and unaccountable play) and the opposition then have this strong breeze in the last when they are already in front on the scoreboard then it's game over - which it proved out to be. If Coburg's gameplan is kicking long to tall marking forwards and kicking into the breeze prevents that from working then of course the breeze affected the game. The number of scoring shots for both sides showed it was easier with breeze anyway. Box Hill kicked 10.14 with the breeze to 8.1 without it while Coburg kicked 10.11 with the breeze to 3.6 without it. To say the breeze had no influence on the game is ludicrous.

The breeze had no influence on the game.

Stick to posting scores and articles thanks.

So little influence that both sides combined were only able to rack up 45 scoring shots with the breeze to just 18 against it  .

Score with breeze:       20.25-145
Score against breeze:    11.7-73

Yep the breeze had no influence whatsoever    .

Didn't influence who won

From before the bounce to the final siren, the breeze played no part in the outcome

If you cant work that out you have NFI

You're moving the goalposts again gerks and putting words in my mouth I never said. I never said Box Hill won because of the breeze; I simply said at 3/4 time that it was game over with Box Hill in front and having the strong breeze in the last qtr. You called me a "flog" for saying that even though I was shown to be right. You're the one who also said "the breeze had no influence on the game" even though it clearly affected the ability to score on the day as shown by the number of scoring shots with and into the breeze and it affected the way Coburg played as they had no plan B for the breeze other than going wide and bombing it long.  Anyway time to move on from such a trivial issue.

Wonder when Dea will get his chance. Would prefer him over Petterd at the moment.

Can anyone who has watched our Coburg games this year tell me how far away Arnot is from getting a call up?  His stats and match reports would say very very close.

not doing himself any favours by keep getting reported

I agree with Gerks

From the little I've seen of arnot is too pre occupied going for the man and not the ball.

When Coburg lost by 100 p at one stage he tunnelled a bloke then gave him a earful. Cringe worthy.

We should be harnessing his aggression.  We need more aggression in our team. I'm talking about aggression at the ball!

I agree with one eyed as he is the one who gets off his backside every week and keeps us up to date on the site.
Easy to take pot shots from the cheap seats and high five each other with your own one eye firmly in your hands fellas.
