[mightytiges]

Coburg has been the better side but silly turnovers in our defensive half gifted Port 4 of the 5 goals they kicked that quarter.

McGuane  - best of the RFC boys. Solid in defence. As has Moore.
Whitey and Cleve have been good
Krak didn't get much of it that quarter after a good first quarter.
Paddy and Jacko have been alright.
Cass has been alright too. Been taking the kick-ins. Made one bad turnover where he handballed straight to a Port player 25m out.
Connors hasn't done much.
Jack hasn't got much of it but when he has he's made the most of it.
Schulz was better that quarter.
JON - oh dear 

Disposals:
White 15
Paddy 12
Moore 11
Hughes 8
Jackson 8
Schulz 5

Phil Cleary saying Jack shouldn't be waving his hands up in the air after a goal a la Franklin-style at this stage of the game.

Cleve cleverly stripped the Port player and outsmarts two fo them on the boundary. Paddy's kick with the breeze drops short   ??? to Jack who goals  .

71 - 43

Coburg finally go direct and Connors marks on the lead and goals and gives some lip to his opponent

McGuane and Moore have been great in defence.

Andy Collins saying the breezy conditions our skill level hasn't been as good as we wanted it. Said we've gone too short when we could've gone longer. Wants the forwards to lead up more.
