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.

Congratulations Roan, Collingwood have got another ‘Steele’.

James Tompkins @200cm, triple Olympic gold medallist arrived with a fanfare of publicity. Not First 18 ability but could put his back into it.

Yes more rough housing please! Lost the game Saturday but won the WCW rematch. Featuring Vice-Captain Jack Viney who appeared to be channeling Big Chief Little Wolf. Fines proportionally should be 1/4 of match payments.

Largely agree with your overall summation OD. Ricky Mentha watch is indeed on. Has shown definite promise and is steadily developing his game as the season progresses IMO. Exhibits some silky skills and is not shy about initiating body contact. Continuity of performance throughout the whole four quarters of a game, will come when he develops his aerobic capacity and strength further. Luker Kentfield another diamond in the rust? Had presence up forward, leads intelligently and takes the ball high with a vise like grip. On today's performance kicks accurately and strongly overall. Not giving up on Bailey Laurie either. Is he a slow burn?

Swallow’s swan song? Tmac good contestedmark. Umpire horse [censored] again. Clear holding the ball rewards in the back. Goal to Seagulls. Throw in a greasy chip wrapper.
