Tarax Club

Kicking boots are on? 10 or is it 9 point lead? Umpire assist Coburg goal back to 3 points. Little Bill lucky play on. Cream is off regulation miss.

Cream time! Goal # 20 for season.

KC you must be live? Delayed telecast here.

It’s riding on a knife’s edge at Casey and Adelaide. Need to flip the script to change the usual narrative.

Mitch Hardie would be leading B&F at Casey. Best all round player without doubt. Great little player.

Casey have stopped to walk. 3/4 time reset required. Lucky free to Bonner. Struggletown. Siren blows.

Casey continue running on a Hampster wheel kicking behinds. Coburg continue to make inroads. 3 points in it. Casey reply… 1 behind

Casey fiddle whilst Coburg burns. 2 goal this qt. Casey lead now15 points Primetime Tmac at the goal line save. Inside 50 dominance 36 to 23. Windsor hits the post 15th behind.

Good defence Casey, Tmac rock of Gibraltar down there. Paddy Cross intercept tackle. Miss again. Coburg reply goal. Casey 13 behinds 5 goals Coburg 3 goals 4 behinds

Mitch Hardie 4 goals!!!!

Score?

Culley call up in the offing? Going strongly. Woey big tackle. Free Miskick another behind. Mitch Hardie only reliable kick goal after siren. Hallelujah!

Luker Kentfield umpteenth mark. Still no reward for effort. Culley showing requisite physicality. Skills Skills Skills??? Suburban footy…

Tom Campbell ruck journeyman palms to Mitch Hardie goal!!! Rushed behind Coburg. Tugboat Tom going well. Kentfield showing more strings to his bow upfield. Kentfield is the next big thing. (almost) Terrific mark hit the post. Give him the gyroscope.

Luker lovely judgement& mark kick off target. Yips has officially arrived 7th behind. OOB on the full! Kentfield. Blowing a gale? Unusually still today. Coburg goal Casey fiddle. Casey 2goals 7 behinds Coburg 2 goals 1 behind.

Charlie Spargo boiled lollies from 45 metres out (fell short). Jack Henderson courage personified goal kicking boots off. Casey generally dominating general play but wasting opportunities. Score Casey 2 goal 6 behinds Coburg 1 goal 1 behind

Hardie centre clearance lace out to Paddy Cross. Low % goal kick from deep pocket. Behind. Kentfield involved upfield another errant forward goal kick. Behind. Culley bursts thru tackle mania pressure high. Tmac looking freer this week. Ground conditions good no discernible breeze.

Score Casey 2 goals 2 behinds Coburg 1 goal 1 behind

Jack Henderson intercept. Pass to Mitch Hardie. Goal!!

Big Tom Campbell dominating in the ruck. Pup Brown busy. Spargo one handed hand pass. Free to Coburg. Windsor Culley Mentha buzzing around the packs. Will Verrall some good touches and a mark in defence. Caleb Windsor snap misses major entry.

Luker regulation mark and skewed off his boot. Unfortunately. Riley Baldi Goal!

Enthusiasm aside as long as he is of sound mind and body.

With most of the media attention on the Patrick White bioepic. No column space was available on Roan's AFL debut. We did manage to glean some statistics off the AFL match page. Time on ground - 82% Disposals - 19 (11 kicks, 8 handballs) Disposal efficiency - 68% Tackles - 2 Marks - 4 Metres gained - 309 Inside 50 - 4 Score involvements - 3 Not too shabby in front of nearly 80,000 fans.

With Lever’s levitation, Marty’s season ending injury and Adam’s Adelaide adventure. The defence cupboard is looking slightly Xposed. Although a refresh with Bryce, Freeman and Lual is a positive given last week’s struggles in Qld. Paddy Cross is a welcome return up forward, knows where the goal posts are. What was equally perplexing last week with Will Verrall’s limited time on field, was Taj Woewodin’s extended time on the pine.

205 lbs is equivalent to 92.986 kg. Certainly a frame to build an ‘AFL’ ready body. College basketball in the USA unlike the precious pretenders here, is able to give fans some idea about physical presence of an athlete.
