THE Coburg Tigers face the daunting task of trying to upset what looks the best "paper" line-up in recent VFL history in tomorrow's grand final at Princes Park.
THE Coburg Tigers face the daunting task of trying to upset what looks the best "paper" line-up in recent VFL history in tomorrow's grand final at Princes Park. Geelong, a hot flag favourite for several weeks, has selected 14 AFL-listed players and five AFL rookies in a powerful unit which also contains 2007 Liston Trophy winner James Byrne.
Coburg has improved through the finals and strengthened its side after its 31-point loss to the Cats in the qualifying final.
But Geelong could also be better with the inclusion of Kane Tenace and Sam Hunt after hamstring injuries.
The Burgers are young, willing and spirited and will be competitive but it's hard to see them controlling the Cats for the whole game.
Coburg coach Andrew Collins said coaching staff had been devising a new plan to try and overcome the challenge.
