Review 2024 Second Elimination Final: Box Hill Hawks v Williamstown, 31 August 2024, 3.00pm @ Box Hill City Oval

[Paul Kersey]

Just calm down and see where things are after a quarter with the wind.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Finn 11 touches and 6 clearances

Putting his hand up to stay in the team.

Nothing really of note from the other hopefuls tbh.

Yep, looks a class above and really wants it

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Some very creative disposals from Williamstown.

They play and train in these conditions all the time. May as well be playing at Williamstown

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Believe me, the breeze is a huge factor. We'll know by half time whether we're in this or not. Could have been worse the way Willy started.

 

[Geead]

They said we won the toss, why did they choose to kick against the wind first?

 

[DeafHawk]

The way we play last 10 minutes we should kick 8 goals 2nd quarter

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

They said we won the toss, why did they choose to kick against the wind first?

Because you have the wind in the last quarter I suppose.

 

[peetoo]

Willy the run of the green too

How was Finns disposal?
That's what really looked below AFL quality last game.

Edit - DE: 25%. Hope it picks up, not going to cut it in finals.

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

Possessions 1st qtr:

Finn 10
Serong 8
Ward 7
HH 6
Seamus 5
DGB 3
CJ 2

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Maginness is a beauty. Shame nobody else putting in

 

[VandoHawk]

Not sure why Ethan Phillips thought he was Will Day there

 

[Mitchell Madness]

That could be game over

 

[Paul Kersey]

Better wake up. Bad start.

 

[Siri]

Winning the toss and electing to kick into the wind was a terrible mistake. Amateur hour at the Hawks! Very arrogant call that could be fatal in regards to this game .. and the season.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Botch Hill.



The umpiring is still horrendous though.

 

[VandoHawk]

Willy kick the first into the breeze. The lack of effort from our players has been disappointing, you can't just guarantee you'll dominate with the breeze.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Bmac kicks it 70m LOL

 

[Paul Kersey]

Not sure why Ethan Phillips thought he was Will Day there

Just gotta release the handball high in that scenario imo.

 

[Geead]

Because you have the wind in the last quarter I suppose.

Yeah but I would think you'd want the advantage immediately, because what if the wind dies down or it starts raining?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Very true. Just trying to think why they may have taken that option.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

FWDs playing from behind. Getting smashed everywhere. This is ugly

 

[user33]

The umpiring is ridiculous

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Willy always seem to give us trouble

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Willy always seem to give us trouble

All unaligned teams seem to. Big bodies of men hurt the kids
