Coburg was well and truly in the contest at three-quarter time, trailing by just 14 points, but was outscored eight goals to three in the final term to suffer a 47-point loss - 19.13 (127) to 12.8 (80).
Shane Tuck continued his strong form at VFL level, picking up 37 disposals and working tirelessly in the midfield for the Coburg team.
Richmond rookie-list player, Ben Jakobi, produced an encouraging performance, gathering 20 disposals, Mitch Morton showed some more good signs in his playing return, booting three goals, while Will Thursfield was solid in defence.
Key-position ‘tall’, Ben Griffiths, was prominent early at centre half-back, before being concussed in a marking duel, which forced him from the field for the rest of the match.
