Coburg vs Port Melbourne

[one-eyed]

JON picks out a Port player. Port run it up for a goal. 97 - 128

[Ramps]

Atleast Cotchin showed he can play. In that 10 minute spell, he got the side on a roll with his work in the middle.

Connors to Petts from 52m, 45 degrees - misses. 99 - 129

99 - 135

Petts kicks over the head of Connors in the forward line - turnover.

Connors gets another go but just chips it and misses. 100 - 135

[Ox]

Can I have a go at Bowden and Pettifer influence for Coburg being so "slow and stagnant" in the forward line?     

No need to.
a couple of goals and assists in the vfl hardly equate to vindication of
cancer and failure at a senior level.

Morton kicks 7s and 9s.......

Cotchin nice long pass to Cartledge 35m out. Sprays it. 101 - 135

Goal. 107 - 135

[Ramps]

to be honest at this stage of this game, im only interested in Cotchin, Hughes and Conners and how they finish of the game.

Port kills it off if it wasn't already. 107 - 141

Connors has been very quiet. Cotchin was impressive and Cleve did well given the crap delivery he had to put up with.

Commentators bagging Bowden about not coming to play.

Burgers have fallen away badly. Port have kicked 21.3 since 1/4 time. 107 - 153

Commentators bagging the Burgers fitness. Tired and lazy.

Very dissapointing effort from Coburg by the sounds of it?????

Burgers couldn't run out the game again although they were ordinary all day even when in front early on. Game lost from halfway through the 2nd quarter to halfway through the 3rd. Port must have kicked around 12 goals in that period to hardly anything.

Petts - Finished with 4 goals but one good quarter doesn't make up for 3 ordinary ones for a senior player with his AFL experience.

Bowden - will be spending more time at the Burgers. He probably end up with decent possession stats and kicked 3 goals but no real influence on the game.

Silvester - sounded like the only Burger who put in 4 quarters and did his job at FB.

Cotchin - nice cameo in the 3rd quarter. Obviously will need more games at this level to build up his fitness.

Hughes - sounded as he had to put up with the poor delivery Richo copped most of his career. Good 3rd quarter (5 marks in 15 minutes) and reasonable first half in patches.

Jacko - got a fair bit of it in the first half and a bit but didn't sound as though he used it well. I hardly heard his named mentioned in the last quarter.

Howat - probably high teen in possessions and sounded handy in the 3rd quarter but like so many went missing in patches.

Connors - quiet.

Cartledge - sounded as though he tried hard but was beaten in the ruck. This is his level.

Cass - good in patches when he was able to get on the end of a receive but quiet otherwise.

JON - Tries hard but just not up to it even at this level.  

Polo - tagged Spriggs but otherwise quiet.
