The Coburg Tigers pulled off a huge upset victory over the Casey Scorpions in yesterday’s VFL Round 12 clash at Casey Fields.
Just a week after losing to Port Melbourne by 104 points, Coburg completed a stunning form reversal to down top-four team Casey in difficult conditions by 10 points - 9.18 (72) to 8.14 (62).
Full-back David Gourdis produced an excellent performance for Coburg, restricting the Scorpions’ star spearhead Brendan Fevola to just one goal with strong defensive play, and providing plenty of rebound out of the backline.
Shane Tuck was at his ‘ball-magnet’ best, gathering a stack of clearances in his 30-plus disposals, Angus Graham fought well in the ruck, while Matthew White also was prominent with his run and carry.
Mitch Morton, in his return after several weeks on the sidelines due to personal reasons, showed some good signs, and kicked a valuable goal in the low-scoring match.
A full report on the Richmond listed players will be online tomorrow.
