2019 VFL R1 vs Coburg (Sat 6th Apr,2pm @Piranha Park Coburg)

[barrackers]

Scrappy footy, lions goal from 50

[barrackers]

Broomhead busier the second half of that quarter. Despite minimal wind there’s a clear scoring end. An 18 point three quarter time deficit is tricky, but not impossible.

11.7 73 plays 8.7 55

[barrackers]

A nice crisp passage of run and carry ends with marking on 50. He shanks the kick. No score.

[barrackers]

Pies making hard work of it inside forward 50, tackle ultimately rewarded, 45m out on the boundary goal. Couldn’t make the player out.

[barrackers]

Rushed behind to us, 11 points down.

[barrackers]

Ball up on our goal line, was it Daicos?, snap goal. 73-68

[barrackers]

Lynch marks going back with the flight. Will kick from outside 50, goal. We’re in front lions fans silenced!

[barrackers]

Pies shot on goal, flag in my way, behind.

[barrackers]

Madgen turns it over coming out of 50, lions put it back in, mark, terrible kick, ootf.

[barrackers]

Pies take it down the other end, mark on the boundary, behind 73-76

[barrackers]

24 minutes gone

[barrackers]

Great tackle stops a running lion in his tracks, ball up, pies clear, Reid marks, short kick finds Daicos, kicks into the mark.

[BazBoy]

Three point win 4 Pies

[barrackers]

LeGrice with a goal saving spoil. Ball in. Pies force a ball up, 15m our directly in front, and another. Clearing hack kick, lands just short of an opponent who gathers kicks... SIREN as a pack gathers under a falling footy. PIES WIN!!!!

I’m the only one cheering, but what I lack in numbers I make up for in volume and exuberance!

Coburg 11.7 73
Collingwood 11.10 76

Exciting finish and made even better by us getting the result.
