Fantastic game of footy! Entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Frankston gave 100% all day and would be devastated not to have got over the line for Shane Hockey. Coburg dug deep when they had to and it was a great effort to get up and win after a poor first quarter.
The Dolphs looked much better with James Wilsen at full forward all day. Gave a good target for them and worked well with Gardner who once again took 3 sensational pack marks. Hockey tried his heart out and Josh Newman was outsanding, really lifted his intensity to last years levels, and Cavarra was his usual brilliant self, in and under packs all day taking plenty of wacks and bouncing straight back up again.
Big Tom Goodwin was sensational for Coburg, worked hard all day and marked everything that came near him. Ex Dolphin Jordy Williams didnt make it into Coburgs best but should have. Tagged Hockey in the first quarter then switched between Cavarra and Hockey for the rest of the day.What a nightmare that must have been for him. He did a great job and would have left many at Frankston wondering how he couldnt get a game there last year.
Great effort by both teams, and I can easily see Coburg being the big improver next year. They dont have to improve much to be a real force.

This match starts at 10:16am at MCG today.

It will be telecast on Channel 7 from 12pm (2 hour delay).

Timing rules for this game: 1st half straight 30 min quarters, 2nd half normal 20 plus time on (quarters can not go past 32 mins)

I'm surprised to see how well Sandringham are doing. I expected them to be a middle of the road side, but their best footy this year has been very good.

While Box Hill, Footscray and Williamstown are also travelling along nicely.

Who would have thought that Port would have lost 5 of their past 6 games? It's been almost a decade since the club has had such a form slump.

The Borough haven't quite come together this year, with such a big loss of experience across all lines of the the ground. With several key players on the sidelines or returning from injury, only a stirring win on Saturday would give us any hope of finals.

Essendon and Casey I haven't seen much of this year. Can anyone rate their chances in September?
