That centre of the ground is ridiculous these days. It's just an old fashion bog (it's a sunny day here in Melbourne for those interstate).

[one-eyed]

Patto vs Gus ..... well that's worth the price of admission alone 

Clifton gives away a free off the ball directly in front of Box Hill's goal.

0 - 6

[one-eyed]

Rebound off half-back (Nice kick Darrou). Miller gathers and finds Derickx who goals

Coburg ressies won. I don't think any of our players played.

Coburg  18.10-118
Box Hill    8.7-55

Coburg debutant gifts Box Hill a goal with a poor kick across the half-back line.

6 - 13

[one-eyed]

Miller on the wing goes acroos the midfield to mini Maric which opens up the play. Maric then runs on, gets the ball back inside 50 and snaps a goal

One thing about Brad Miller he more than often makes the right decision

[WA Tiger]

Coburg ressies won. I don't think any of our players played.

Probably why we won.

[one-eyed]

Astbury ignores the first option and then gets caught trying to burst through. That's now six turnovers to one and it's gifted Box Hill all 3 of their goals.

Graham is playing as though he knows he's gone. Pathetic contesting if you can call it that!

Coburg just seem to have no game plan, play like a Benny hill finale.
Sooner we get our own team and coaches the better as it seems when these guys get a call up they just don't know wtf to do and now I'm seeing why 

[one-eyed]

Verrier long to the pocket to Nick Maric who gets paid a free. Plays on and goals

Amen to that CUB .

Astbury sloppily kicks it OOTF while fighting for the ball in the defensive pocket then is too busy arguing with the ump while the Box Hill player plays on. Luckily it's only a point.

Turnovers (Nick Maric this time) are killing Coburg once again.

18 - 27

[rfctigers05]

RhysJones is bagging the rfc for turning the ball over to often

[rfctigers05]

Masters and Carnell are our best players but not on the rfc list
We have no depth

[one-eyed]

1/4 time

Coburg   3.1-19
Box Hill   5.4-34

Goals: Derickx, A.Maric, N.Maric

Competitive for the first 15-20 minutes of the first quarter but the Hawks dominated the last 10 minutes.
