Marsh out-bodies his man superbly on the wing, marks.

Spots up Blair short.

Blair goes into the pocket for a loose man in Howe!

From 45m, on the boundary... misses.

19-1

Cauchi for the Burgers down and not looking good, after coming off 2nd best in a clash of bodies against Marsh on the wing. Play stopped...

Play back on now...

Kelly receives in the corridor, goes for a run, pumps it long inside 50 to the proximity of Goldsack (he's alive!)

Goldy runs onto it, slips the tackle, kicks around the body and PUTS IT THROUGH!

25-1

Sounding a bit like a gentle stroll in the park ...

Out of the middle, Howe takes another uncontested mark inside 50.

Decides to improve the angle, centres for a lunging Wyatt, who holds on!

From 40m, DIF... GOAL!

31-1

Younan manages to win a footrace back to their goal square and soccer it through...

Sitting next to the wonderful Magpie Bat who is the quickest & most accurate typist of the game. Deserves more recognition

Is Coburg expected to be any good?

MagpieBat · Post by **MagpieBat** » Sat Mar 26, 2016 3:45 pm

FANTASTIC forward tackle pressure by Howe, Gray and Goldsack, Borthwick swoops and hits up Aish in the middle...

... and Aisho wins a 50 for encroachment (?)

From 30m, DIF... GOAL!

37-7

They're a really young side that finished a game outside the finals, so they should be trending up.

They have, however, lost their captain in Nick Carnell and their best defender in Hartley, but have gained Ahmed Saad from St Kilda/Sandringham...

So, they should be mid-tableish again...
