[pmac21]

George goes around the corner on the left from 30 obviously missed.  Bauer misses a sitter from directly in front. Aarts misses. 
Oh dear

[pmac21]

VFL player shocking turnover. 

[one-eyed]

Another brainfade in defence. VFL-lister Carrigan kicks it from the goalsquare 20m straight to a Coburg player  .

Lucky they miss.

18 - 22


We have some very dumb players.

Samson with another brainfade. Handballs from the mark forward to a teammate with a Coburg player right on him .

18 - 23

[pmac21]

Biggy should never kick out.
His kicking is a huge concern.  Won't make it unless he improves this quickly. 
24-18

[pmac21]

Scores level.  Bauer on the end of good George tenacity

[one-eyed]

Bad Coburg turnover across out HF line. George gets the spoil, gathers and finds Bauer 25 out directly in front. Goal! 

Rich  3.6-24
Cob   3.6-24


The standard of this game is terrible  .

Ross (free) finds Cumberland 30 out. Should have been 50 for the late push to the ground btw.

Noah misses.

We're in front for the first time today!

25 - 24

[Rampsation]

Brown has done ok today

[one-eyed]

Good forward pressure and Cumberland's tackle earns him the HTB free 30 out. Siren goes. Goal!

Ross has been BOG so far. A shame he can't do this at AFL level where his footskills under the quicker tempo get exposed.

Sonsie's best game in about a month. 7 clearances and typical clean.

Miller will be coming in to replace Balta/Tarrant. Biggie has sadly made too many bad mistakes despite having more the ball.

Brown's kick across defence was bold but he nailed it and it paid off. Last couple of weeks he has been very good.

George has been busy and that desperate spoil/intercept would please the coaches.

Soldo dominating the ruck but he's better when he grabs it and gets the clearance himself rather than tapping it to spots where his teammates aren't  .

[one-eyed]

Good transition from D50 and it ends up with Aarts who snaps a goal  .

Rich  5.7-37
Cob  3.6-24

[one-eyed]

On transition again. Mansell to Cumberland to Bauer to RCD on 50. Long shot misses though.

38 - 24

[one-eyed]

Goal to Coburg. Ordinary defending by us.

38 - 30
