Coburg vs Casey Scorpions (on ABC TV)

[mightytiges]

Great stuff in both grades. Still a show for the top 4. Thanks for the reports pmac and Bents. Good to hear a number of the young blokes played well in a big game. Hopefully Collard has a big preseason over summer and he can make his debut next year. Great confidence booster for Gourdis too even if only at VFL ressie level. 

Any news of how Casserly went in the ressies. Did he get through uninjured?

Match Report Vs. Casey Scorpions
Written by Glenn Robertson

The Burgers burst out of the blocks in the first term kicking six majors compared to Casey’s three. Both sides had their fair share of the ball but Coburg just converted it better on the scoreboard. Cameron Howat and Greg Tivendale both found plenty of the ball playing off the wings

1/4 time: Coburg Tigers 6.1 (37)   Casey Scorpions 3.2 (20)

The second quarter was a fairly tight affair, with neither side getting a run on. The Burgers finished the term snagging three goals, while Casey could only manage a couple. Clayton Collard played a fantastic role up forward. In only his fifth senior game for the season Clayton was Coburg’s only multiple goal kicker for the match and finished with six valuable goals.

1/2 time: Coburg Tigers 9.3 (57)   Casey Scorpions 5.6 (36)

The Scorpions came out firing in the third term booting six goals to three, strangely the exact opposite to what happened in the first term. The game was poised for a nail bitting last term. Paul Shelton and Andrew Horne were again some of the Burgers better players, when the going gets tough these two boys can always be found at the bottom of a pack. Cam Howat also played his best game for the season, collecting possessions at will through the midfield.

3/4 time: Coburg Tigers 12.5 (77)   Casey Scorpions 11.8 (74)

In a tense last quarter the Burgers held their nerves the best and came away with a single point margin. Fortunately for Coburg it was the most accurate they have kicked all season and in the end the major reason as to why the came away with the victory. It was a fine sharp-shooting performance from the boys, and hopefully they can continue it on into the finals. Alex Rance was great in the final term, winning a lot of contested ball. This week the Burgers face the out of form Bendigo Bombers at Windy Hill on Saturday starting at 2pm.

Coburg Tigers     6.1 9.3 12.5 14.5 (89)
Casey Scorpions 3.2 5.6 11.8 13.10 (88)

RESERVES

After a casual three goals in the first term the Burgers kicked away and were way to strong for Casey booting six, six and seven goals respectively in the next three quarters to record a eighty point win.

David Gourdis was the star up forward. Before this week he had only kicked five goals for the season, but he turned it on and booted seven majors in a best on ground display. Trav Dulic and Daniel Bramich were also suberb for the Burgers, while Josh Jones and Paul Currie added another seven goals between them.

Finals start for the Reserves this week, but as the Boys finished on top they get the luxury of having this week off.
