SECOND-placed Coburg Tigers are keen to test themselves against the two main flag contenders in the final four rounds.
They clash with Geelong (third) this morning at Skilled Stadium and then face an away game against ladder-leader Sandringham in Round 20 on August 25.
"They are clearly the class sides of the competition this year," Coburg coach Andrew Collins said this week.
"It is an exciting challenge to play at Geelong this week and then we've got Sandringham in a couple of weeks."
Collins is also chuffed about playing the curtain-raiser to the Geelong-Richmond game.
"I would encourage the VFL to do that bit more," he said.
"There are some special games played as curtain-raisers to an AFL game when it could easily have been VFL games.
"We have that opportunity with the alignments.
"It would be great to have the Coburg Tigers playing on the MCG before the Richmond Tigers (Coburg's affiliate)."
