VFL Rd 7: Northern Blues vs Coburg

[crashlander]

Poster for Kerbatieh: damn!
Northern 5 - 3 - 33
Coburg 2 - 1 - 13

[crashlander]

Quarter Time and our best effort with the breeze for the year: not that that is saying much.

Northern Blues 5 - 3 - 33
Coburg 2 - 2 - 14

GOALS: Boekhorst, Graham, Jaksch, Korcheck, Silvagni.

DISPOSALS: Graham 9, Tutt 9, Foster 7, Gowers 5, Boekhorst 4.

That Foster has 7 possessions is a real positive. Tutt has turned some of his over, but Graham definitely wants back in the seniors.

Stated again and Totevski marks against the breeze, but misses.

Silvagni making an impact: an intercept mark leads to his 2nd goal.
Featherstone of Coburg also got one.

Northern Blues 6 - 5 - 41
Coburg 3 - 2 - 20

Ther are comments going around about blooding Silvagni: too early, or is he doing enough? Too early for my thinking, but...

Silvagni now has 3, with an excellent shot from the deep in the pocket against the breeze.

Coburg get one back. Make that 2 in a minute.

If he's performing in the VFL then he's ready to come in late any draftee. In for Walker.

Nick Graham kicks his 2nd this time: he had a chance a little earlier from close range, but put it over the post. Not this time.
20 disposals and 7 marks for  Graham so far.
But, alas, the response comes quickly through a free in the middle. And another with the wind. Now 10 points the difference.

Northern Blues 8 - 7 - 55
Coburg 7 - 3 - 45
Kicking straight makes a difference! I wish it could be us that does it.

Whoever gets it out of the middle is scoring: this time it is Tutt.

[crashlander]

Half time and the Blues have a lead:
Northern Blues 9 - 7 - 61
Coburg 7 - 4 - 46

GOALS: Silvagni 3, Graham 2, Boekhorst, Jaksch, Korcheck, Tutt.

DISPOSALS: Graham 21, Tutt 21, Jones 14, Foster 13, Aujla 10.

Good start for NB's.
Is that the big MK's first goal?

Indeed it is. And the guys let him know it.

[crashlander]

Only 6 disposals for Silvagni, but 3 goals and a couple of impressive grabs.

[crashlander]

3rd term underway. Tutt gets an early one with the breeze.

Jaksch get one as well, but Boekhorst is off with injury: a wrist.
