COBURG Tigers, Bendigo Bombers and Casey Scorpions were unexpected winners in an afternoon of upsets in Round 2 yesterday.

Coburg, at home, conceded North Ballarat an eight-goal first quarter and trailed by 35 points before grinding back in a gritty performance to win by three goals.

"It was (a gutsy win) particularly after our first quarter," Coburg coach Andrew Collins said.

"To keep them for the rest of the game to six, that's a great effort.

"I thought our captain Travis Ronaldson was sensational in that last quarter, as was Jake King in the back pocket," Collins said.

"Alister Neville was great all day. It was great team effort."

Patrick Bowden showed poise and class with five goals in the first three quarters.

They may have rested Edwards throughout the last qtr so that he was fresher for a possible call-up next friday against the bulldogs.

Good thinking GB  . It's only a 5 day break and Plough said with Simmo they played him friday night because had he played with Coburg it would've been a too narrow break before the Doggies game.

Same with Bowden I thought it strange that a fit player would cramp up to that degree
