Review Round 12, 2024: Richmond Tigers v Box Hill Hawks, 15 June 2024, 12.05pm @ Punt Road Oval

[Bugs1977]

Ollie Walker-Peel ((the british guy) is one of the best commentators out there, he genuinely just loves the game and loves watching it.

You're right he knows his stuff. Once you get past the accent you realise he's very knowledgeable and puts most AFL commentators to shame.

 

[VandoHawk]

Seamus just cut through about 4 opposition players and hit a target on the chest

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Seamus took the piss then

 

[VandoHawk]

Strong contested work by Finn leads to a great BH player goal.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

HH willingness to handball first really creates issues sometimes. Selling players into trouble etc.

 

[VandoHawk]

Ramma's development the last 3 matches has been massive

 

[Bugs1977]

Ramma ankle?

 

[grumbleguts]

Clay Tucker is playing a good game.

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

Gee the umps are pretty ordinary today.

Some very very late calls or non-decisions.

Let a good half a dozen HTB frees go.

 

[VandoHawk]

Scaife looks borderline unstoppable on a lead. There was one passage of play where Morrison missed the kick but he had 2 players done cold. Interesting given he looks a bit static otherwise.

Mitchy Lewis blowing out the cobwebs but a great contested mark.

Super impressed with Ramma and his Tim English impersonation the last few weeks. Hopefully he's OK.

 

[Wingnut19]

Really want to see DGB get involved. Haven't spotted him all game.

 

[Flag08]

Seamus caught snoozing then

 

[VandoHawk]

Mitch Lewis takes a good grab but the radar is off

 

[VandoHawk]

Sometimes Box Hill's kicking skills make me a very angry person

 

[tommyk72]

Too many intercept marks being taken by the tigers. Our big forwards need to make sure that they’re bringing the ball to ground.

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

I don't think Lewis will make it to half-time.

Already flexing the knee.

Don't risk him.

Just took a contested mark, but laid off a short pass rather than kick from 45.

Just doesn't look right.
I doubt we see him second half?

Ramma still hobbling too

 

[tommyk72]

Great pick up and hand off by Ramsden in the pocket is snapped home well by Benetts

 

[tommyk72]

Is DGB even playing!?

 

[Kanga Commando]

Is DGB even playing!?

One punch from what i've seen

Scaife on the other hand....

 

[brew]

Scaife can play

 

[Wingnut19]

Is DGB even playing!?

So many guys look a class above like Mitchell (best on so far), Scaife, Ward, Morrison, Ramsden and then you get to DGB. Man its actually tough to watch. Always on his hunches sucking for air after every contest.

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

Is DGB even playing!?

Playing loose across the back. Zero impact and body language isn't great tbh.

 

[Bugs1977]

Morrison has 18 kicks at half time yet. He's one of those players that is way too good for VFL but has a low ceiling at AFL level. Isn't flashy and just does what needs to be done.

He's smiling at half-time but gee I doubt he's going at 50%.

I'd rest him now and build from here.
