100 Up For Theo Grimaldi

26/5/2015

Club stalwart and Over 50s co-captain Theo Grimaldi will play his 100th game for the Club against Ascot Vale on Sunday.

The prolific forward who wears the number 1 has been at our famous Club for 10 years and has become part of the furniture since joining back in 2005.

During his time at the Club he has not only contributed off the field being a regular sponsor and a member of the committee as a Player Liaison Officer but has also attained Life Membership, has won the Legend’s Goalkicking award in 2009 and 2010 and, was named in the 2002-2012 Team of the Decade as a Forward Pocket.

It would be great to see everyone down early on Sunday to support and praise the man known as “T” to join him celebrating this significant milestone.

Chris Spencer, a man admired and respected by his club mates donned the Coburg jumper and put on his boots for the very last time on Sunday. And the Legends did not let him down recording a 19-point win over Carrum to send "Spence" out a winner.

Spence ran out all quarters and got to sing the theme song, shoulder to shoulder with his team mates one more time in a fitting farewell.

After 200+ games Spence will be sorely missed on the field but we will still see plenty of him off the field as he continues his long association with the club he helped build from the ground up back 1993.

Thanks for the on-field memories Chris!

Missed Opportunity For Coburg

21/5/2015

Coburg Supers missed possibly their best opportunity to take their first a big scalp of the season going down to Marcellin by 19-points.

Coburg started brilliantly with a 4-goal first quarter and then followed up with another 3-goals in the second term to open up a 32-point lead at half time against their more fancied opponents.

They were red hot, applying pressure and working harder than Marcellin but it all seemed to stop after half time and Marcellin launched a third quarter revival kickng 5 unanswered goals to lead by 1-point at the final change.

In the last the Supers had their chances but were unable to make headway and Marcellin kicked three more goals to kill off any chance of a big finish from Coburg.

The upside of this contest shows that Coburg have have the ability to match anyone in the competition and with four full quarters of effort they are very close to stringing together consecutive wins.

In the Reserves it was a disappointing result as Marcellin built their lead in the first three quarters to end up running out winners by 35-points.

Coburg added some respectably in the last quarter outscoring Marcellin 3 goals to one but the damage was already done with Coburg not prepared to be physical enough at the contest and seemingly second to the ball.

The Reserves are a much better outfit than we witnessed at this outing and they will be eager to put this disappointment behind them with an improved showing Sunday week against Ascot Vale.
