Thanks Dixie, great stuff!Final siren sounds. 21.18.144 to 16.5.101.
Reeves is a monster
Looks like he is starting to really fill out from those pics.Reeves is a monster
Hopefully he has Ceglar’s spot by mid year.He's started taking scalps in the ruck while also improving his work around the ground. If he keeps improving at this rate he'll be best 22 next year. It's been a while since we've had a Hawthorn ruck that actually wins the taps.
Any comments on Jeka’s game?Cracking game, given the conditions.
6.6 10.9 16.13 21.18 (144)
2.1 11.3 15.4 16.5 (101)
Jeka 5, Morris 4, Hanrahan 3, Greene 2, E.Phillips 2, Blanck, Cousins, Mascitti, Nash, Porter 1.
I'll keep it a bit shorter this week as plenty have posted already but I thought Maginness was better than ok. Downie very good too. Cousins BOG, but I wish his kicking was better.
Not mentioned above is Saunders, who was in everything all game long. Really good. And Bramble - excellent game carving through congestion.
Brooksby was horrible early but had a really strong last qtr.
Morris really was good - involved a lot plus kicked the four.
Box Hill blokes who stood out were Mason De Wit absolutely imperious at CHB again; Mascitti a strong game, started forward but played across the backline second half; Ed Phillips good run and finished with a couple. Also impressed all pre-season with Jai Newcombe - only played the last qtr today but had a big impact.
Going ok when we're struggling to fit some regulars in the side. Jesse Cucinotta (gun goalkicking mid), Brayden Kilpatrick and Lachie Walker all waiting for a go. No one from today deserves to be dropped for round one either.
Oh yeah some of the weirdest umpiring today. Bizarre decisions, exacerbated by pointing the wrong way multiple times.

Could use him coming through, sounds like he's connecting with the midfield quite well now.Reeves is a monster

A ruck that jumps. Wow.Had my camera with me yesterday so took a few flicks while i was there. Check them out here...https://www.instagram.com/wisemansports/
Entertaining game to watch with the wind pushing to the one end, was good to see Box Hill push in the last quarter into the wind and over Carlton. Others have mentioned Reeves was quite good in the ruck, jumping high and winning taps. Morris and Hanrahan easily too good for VFL as small forwards, but its such a big jump to AFL. Good to see all of the Hawks listed guys play well though.
Bizarre they are still playing practice matches, makes no sense, at least it didn't have a practice match feel.

And takes marks in the forward line, and kicks goals!A ruck that jumps. Wow.
Very noticeable when Brooksby went into the ruck he went for the stand and wrestle. Which is what is probably his strength, but it didn't seem to help with the clearances. Hopefully Ned continues to improve week on week year on year.A ruck that jumps. Wow.
