Review Round 10, 2024: Essendon v Box Hill Hawks, 2 June 2024, 1.05pm @ Windy Hill

[The Golden Glenferrie]

If I had one criticism of The Wiz, it was trying a round-the-corner shot on his non-preferred from 20m out and not getting the distance. The angle wasn't that bad that he couldn't have kicked a drop-punt.

Ramma did the same a few minutes later from the same spot and off the boot I thought he had stuffed it as well, but then the ball did a sharp turn and went through. More luck than design.

Maybe I am old school, but I prefer people to kick straight.

Absolutely shits me when they try that around the corner stuff.

Wiz could have drilled that drop punt with ease. It was a simple kick for him

 

[SSSSSS]

It must suck being a VFL player and having to come across a specimen like Finn.

He is just so physically dominant in the 2s.

At least it shows these players down there what it takes to be on a list.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Looks like the midfield had a field day - Maginess (8 clearances), Ward, Morrison all had over 30 touches.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Is there anywhere to watch the highlights?

 

[threesixpio]

Great to hear DGB having a good game. Keep building lad

 

[hfc70]

This is precisely what Watson needed

What was what Watson needed ?

Just stream it from afl.com
Well worth the watch

 

[KermitJagger]

What was what Watson needed ?

An opportunity to dominate a lower pressure game, get some confidence back.

Just stream it from afl.com
Well worth the watch

Haven't quite figured out how to watch it now the game has been completed.

Don’t get me wrong - hearing HH, Ward, Ramma and Wingerz having good games is pleasing but goddamn I want DGB to make it

he also had a lot of defensive responsibility with Easy and Serong out, did a great job as the general back there.

I want him to make it too - and based on today he is definitely on the right path. I’m not worried - he’ll get there.

 

[HedgeFund]

Geez Hustwaite looks too good at this level.

A week is a long time at VFL level.

Almost everyone in a BH jumper against Brisbane last week looked below the level. This week we hammered an insipid Bombers unit who are frankly a crap side most seasons.

The opposition output from week to week can fluctuate wildly in the twos - especially from the AFL listed players.

Essendon’s issue isn’t their afl listed players who were strong with Shiel, Setterfield and such, it was just an overall effort and intensity mixed with poor skill. Even Hately/XON who have been decent afl players were poor.

Ah yes we were light on there. He was up for it. Great

 

[peetoo]

Interesting coincidence both Wingard and sheil playing in the twos today

 

[Mojo]

Wiz is very special. Should be back soon.

Wingard showed lots of class. Not as quick as he used to be, but would be an ideal sub. Very classy.

Watch out - DGB is coming. Building nicely. Reckon he has a bright future. Would make an excellent second or third defender.

Ramsden played well in the centre, but still a very awkward kicking style. Effective tho.

Hustwaites hands were again elite.

Ward very effective. His consistency is high level.

DGB might be our Sicily replacement - watching at times today, he emulates similar characteristics to Sicily; intercept marking/spoiling and has decent foot skills.

His physical capabilities, like Sicily, means he won't ever defeat a forward based on size, strength, or pace.

 

[westhawk]

Same, I think it’s also because, out of all the others he will fill a position that we desperately need, especially with Frost getting older.

 

[lethalselbow]

DGB can play. Also has attitude. Love it

Did Bodie Ryan play? What about Serong?

Did Bodie Ryan play? What about Serong?

Serong was out with concussion

 

[Topiary]

Serong was out with concussion

So I assume Bodie Ryan played?
