Review Round 6: Sunday 30/4 vs Casey @ Wonthaggi

[The Jet From Poowong]

Under a higher pressure this week, Box Hill has suffered the same disease as Hawthorn with that final disposal into the forward line not being up to scratch. Turnover, 12 point turnover the other way

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Melbourne kicked 3 fluke goals they'd miss 9/10 and it's because we're giving them the chances. Our skills have been so, so bad.

CMac winning a heap of ball.
Mackenzie one of the few players that looks good when he gets it.
Meek is a juggernaut but most importantly is taking marks.

Meeks been quite good once the ball hits the deck too.

He definitely has been asked to work on his aerial contests, and so far he’s ticking that box with 5 marks, and at least 3 of them being intercepts in defensive transition.

Overuse and skills killing us. The overuse looks to be a symptom of us not having faith in our forwards.

 

[Brucie Buffer]

Half time.

Meek has put in a performance to demand his spot back in the team.

Conor Mc taking the piss at this level.

Cal Brown in everything.

Four Casey forwards would be putting their hand up to play against Freo if they played for the Hawks. Zero actual Hawks forwards have put their hands up. Giving our backs a bath.

Kosi would be struggling to hold his spot for Box Hill if he wasn’t on the AFL list, Jeka got on the end of a CMac kick to the top of the square for his only goal but not done much else. Thorp looks out most dangerous.

Bramble has done a few good things, kicked a nice goal as well.

Butler’s pressure been good sloppy disposal.

Have been a few occasions where we get on a run but end up going one too many handballs and it breaks down.

Mackenzie hasn’t had a heap of it but looks composed when he’s got it.

Stephens and Maguiness barely noticeable.

 

[Davo-27]

There were 2 plays late in that quarter that just cost us goals, McDonald being free, not kicking the ball, then causing a handball circle jerk for a turnover and goal to opposition, by starting the hospital handball chain, then we had space on the wing, 1 kick from being 30m out and instead BMac skies a handball again trying to force a handball, then guess what? a turnover....... I love when my football team forces handballs and gives away goals, it isn't idiotic or anything, I love it....... more please

Frustrated at the over handballing, if it happens once more I can't watch any more.

 

[Rhayader]

Bullshit goal from Melksham

 

[VandoHawk]

That's a great finish.

Long > Mackenzie > CMac > O'Sullivan > Jeka to boundary goal

 

[VandoHawk]

Can we not give the ball to Ed Phillips please

 

[MinerBoy]

The commentator just said that Connor MacDonald is almost a local to Wonthaggi. He comes from Doveton.

That’s like saying Sunbury is local to Sandringham.

To be fair I grew up at doveton high and now live at wonthaggi. I’ll take it lol

Skills have been poor. Way to many chip kicks to contests

Commentator shouting for average goals is really annoying

 

[VandoHawk]

Getting blown out of the water now

 

[VandoHawk]

Bailey MacDonald wins a really crucial contest, we muck around with for a bit before Butler takes a great mark in the goal square

 

[Wingnut19]

Geezus Maginness and Kosi man.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Maginness lacks polish.

 

[MinerBoy]

Conor Mac a class (classes) above

C-Mac with a bit of class and the goal! That's how you keep composed, Maginness.

 

[hawkman]

Macdonald plays AFL next week

 

[Wingnut19]

Maginness lacks polish.

Sells his teammate into trouble every time. I never wanna see C mac at Box Hill again. Jet

 

[Blackhawk42]

MacDonald should never play for Box Hill ever again.

 

[Gaston]

Maginness lacks polish.

That last 2 minutes won't see him at AFL level any time soon.

 

[VandoHawk]

Watching Jeka just jog next to his opponent as they win the ball is so frustrating

 

[H00t]

These commentators bring a lot of energy. If you weren’t looking at the game you could imagine it was the greatest grand final ever the way they are calling it.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Good mark by Mackenzie.

 

[hawkman]

Mackenzie needs to stop doing that pop 30 metre kick to a contest. 4 or 5 times today with no advantage to the team

 

[HawthornHawk]

Strong hawks area.
Also, Wonthaggi is trying to get funding to build a stadium similar to Ballarat to host AFL games. Part one is showing they can get attendance for games

Interesting.

My initial thought was that we might be laying some early groundwork for a long term Launceston replacement
