I like Ahern being named at HF. Hope he plays there with a few stints in the guts.

COBURG vs NORTH MELBOURNE – Sunday 1pm @ Piranha Park

[VFL website LIVE STREAM / VFL Live]



LAST ENCOUNTER

Never played.



FORM COMING IN

Coburg has faded out of each of its games, suffering big losses to the Casey Demons, Footscray and then the Box Hill Hawks. North Melbourne followed up its inaugural VFL win against the Northern Blues with a close loss to Frankston last week.



KEY QUESTIONS

Will Coburg take a leaf out of Frankston’s book? The Dolphins demonstrated what a young group can do when they apply themselves for a full four quarters in their 16-point triumph over the Kangaroos last week. While the Lions have proven competitive in their three losses, they’ve let opposition teams get too much of a run-on at times.

Will North Melbourne prove too tall? The Kangaroos will likely boast 206cm ruckman Braydon Preuss as well as Michael Close, Sam Durdin, Nick Larkey, Ben McKay and Tristan Xerri as tall attacking options. Preuss will take on Coburg captain Tom Goodwin in the middle, while Sean Gregory will have his hands full in defence.



HOME CLUB’S PERSPECTIVE

Coburg senior coach Leigh Adams on the lessons learnt from three big losses to start the season:

“It’s about our consistency and trying to do what we want to do for the full four quarters. We seem to stick to our structures or defend well in patches, but when we drop off it seems to be a fair drop off indeed. We don’t want to use (our generally young group) as an excuse, but a lot of our boys hadn’t played VFL footy before this year so we knew there were going to be some inconsistent efforts at times… We’ve had 11 debutants this year.”

I get that things were tight during the renovation but couldn't you have just stayed with relatives or something?

And I thought it was the convict family you were staying with.

Chance for a few boys to put their hands up after some piss poor performances in the ones.

 

[andana]

Any mid size player who can get a contested ball and has good disposal by hand and foot is up for promotion.

 

[Val Keating]

be nice if a few of these blokes put their hands up tomorrow.

Game day! Heading to Coburg shortly. Stream available, so no need for commentary today.

Lots of incentive for the North boys today, on multiple fronts. Here's hoping for good team and individual performances.

Will you be able to purchase beers there? Heading down for a squiz at quarter time.

Yes there is a bar here! It's only serving wine and spirits though.

Only Casey Demon games have only wine and Moët.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Am I missing someone? Going by the team sheet, I can only see 19 (the starting 18 + Preuss)... Maybe Jeffries comes in for a VFL player... Or they've already decided to draft Close in November!

 

[ansonholt]

Junker is out there. The guy in the #6 has run out as well. Will be watching him closely. We could use him in the 1s.

Good to see Kyron Hayden out there too. Hope he goes well.
