Corkie to his quad (actually two of them - corkie on top of corkie).

Miles not playing? Another late in to the seniors?

Miles not playing? Another late in to the seniors?

Presuming Miles is the 23rd (spare) man just in case there's a late injury (say in the seniors' warm-up).

Back to back goals to us to start the 2nd qtr.

GOAL! Shauny Mannagh strolls into the open goal.

GOAL! The lightning handball from Corey Ellis was stunning, and Liam Baker's right-foot snap was superb.

Rich  5.3-33
Cob   1.3-9

Towner also out there.

Balta from 50 nails the goal.

Halfway through the 2nd qtr.

GOAL! A bit of reward for effort now. @samlloyd42 with his 2nd major.

A free kick downfield to Coburg + a 50m penalty gifts them their second goal.

Rich  7.6-48
Cob   2.3-15

Towner also out there.

And down on confidence. His dead-eye goalkicking has deserted him.

If C Ellis was quicker, he would be able to get more of it and might be considered for AFL. Too slow getting to contests.

Such great skill and handballing is lighting quick and smart decisions YET, just too slow covering the ground.
