Coburg vs Port Melbourne, Sat. May 25 --- LIVE on ABC1 TV

[Danog]

Port should be far more ahead by now.  It's like they have 6 more players on the ground than us.

[Danog]

Haven't seen Arnot, Griffiths, Edwards, Nahas, Derickx at all. 

Only seen Astbury, Dea, Darrou, Verrier, McIntosh, McBean, Stephenson, McDonough, Simon

[Danog]

WTF.  Everywhere that the ball goes, Port outnumber us 3:1.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I don't recall any games at Coburg where it's been said he stood out. There certainly hasn't been one for Richmond where he's done anything out of the ordinary. He was a decent junior footballer who missed a a lot of time with injury. Right now it looks like he's just a poo recruit. The only reason people rate him is because he can kick 60 metres and also move well for a tall fella. Other than that he's done FA and never has. I doubt anyone would be giving it to Tigermonk if he were still posting, he's been on the money with a lot of his comments over the years

This will come across as negative but it's the truth. He may still make a good AFL footballer but we haven't seen much

Where is Butcher at?

[Dubstep Dookie]

This is rubbish

[rogerd3]

Nahas not playing?
If not is he in for Eliis

[Danog]

Neither is Edwards

[Danog]

Astbury and McDonough have been our only good players.

Neither is Edwards

WP might be right Mc Gun could be out also..

[one-eyed]

Arnot, Griffs and Derickx (gave away a clumsy free that lead to Port's last goal) are out there.

Cob  0
Port 23

Coburg don't look like scoring.

[Danog]

Luckily that ball was half-smothered.  It would've gone straight to a Port Melbourne defender if it wasn't. 

[one-eyed]

Poor efforts by helbig and Griffs there. Didn't attack the footy and waited for the Port players to grab possession.

Anyway we finally get a goal to Arnot.

Cob  6
Port 23

Griffs now playing full forward and marks 35m out on the lead from Maric's kick. OOTF  .

[one-eyed]

Lucky the siren blew.

Coburg     1.0-6
Port Melb. 3.5-23

Goal: Arnot.

Embarrassing. Lucky Port wasted their chances. They should be 6-7 goals in front.

[one-eyed]

Possies:

Darrou 9 touches according to Ayres. He's playing full back mind you and getting those possies close to defensive goal.
Derickx 4
Griffiths, Astbury, Helbig, McDonough, Arnot 3 each.


Really only Astbury can hold his head up.

Inside 50s: 8 - 16 ...... looked worse than that. Mind you most of the kicks into Coburg's forward 50 went in when there were no Coburg forwards in sight and straight to 3 waiting Port defenders.
