TASMANIA'S disastrous VFL season continued yesterday, as the Devils went down to Richmond-aligned Coburg in the curtain-raiser at Aurora Stadium.
Tigers forward Jay Schulz had a day out kicking nine goals in the 24.10 (154) to 14.7 (91) victory.
The Richmond centre half-forward was beating the Devils off his own boot for the majority of the first half when he raced to six goals.
Another embarrassing loss was on the cards when the Devils trailed by 88 points at the final change, but they bucked the trend of final quarter fade-outs by kicking 6.3 to 2.2.
Apart from that final quarter, Daryn Cresswell's men were never able to impose themselves on the match.
They were hurt by poor disposal and decision-making in the attacking half early on while the Tigers were able to pinpoint their forwards with ease.
Coburg's pressure and attack on the ball proved too much for the young team to handle.
