Coburg fell six points short of Casey in the VFL yesterday, with a stirring second half comeback not enough to snatch the four points.

The Tigers fell behind early in the game, and trailed by 32 points at half time, before storming home in the final stages.

Coburg got within three points in the last quarter, but couldn’t overrun the Scorpions.

Richmond-listed players Matt Arnot, Matt White (two goals) and Jake Batchelor were among the Tigers’ best, while Nick Maric booted four goals.

After two home games to kick off the VFL season, Coburg travels to take on Sandringham in Round 3 on Sunday April 8.
