Review Round 17, 2024: North Melbourne v Box Hill Hawks, 20 July 2024, 2.05pm @ Arden Street Oval

[VandoHawk]

H.T. Haw 4.6. 30 to North 3.6. 24

Shammy has been fantastic in every area except one – I’m not exaggerating when I say that 18 of his 19 touches have put his teammate under pressure.

Harry has been quality but his final kick into the 50 has been poor.

McCabe impactful since coming on. Moves really well.

Serong the pick of the defenders (again), his disposal in poor conditions really standing out.

Reeves gaining ascendancy. Gets his hands to the contest a lot but doesn’t mark them.

 

[arupist]

Harry having an average game. Average for him, which is miles better than anyone else in the side. Seamouse playing well. As is Jai.

 

[VandoHawk]

About 10 fumbles in that contest from both sides

 

[VandoHawk]

DGB has killed some key contests the last 5 or so minutes

 

[VandoHawk]

Exceptional tackle by O'Sullivan catches Stephenson HTB and he converts

 

[VandoHawk]

Exceptional defensive effort from Serong saves a certain goal

 

[VandoHawk]

A bit critical because he's been good but Seamus shouldn't be missing 3 metre handballs. It opens us up for a North goal.

 

[VandoHawk]

O'Sullivan has been great this quarter. Great piece of play - Seamus intercept, Hustwaite a great kick to O'Sullivan then Sully hits up Thorpe for a goal

 

[hawk65]

Why are they both wearing white shorts?

 

[VandoHawk]

3QT. BH 6.8 44 to NM 4.9 33

Shammy has been excellent defensively with strong aerial and ground ball efforts. Disposal poor but that’s a common theme.

Morrison is a less prolific but cleaner Mitchell.

Serong strong defensively and one of the few using it well.

That was a great quarter from O’Sullivan, who pressured and linked up really well. Has 2.1.

Hust winning more of the ball.

 

[VandoHawk]

Big Ned Reeves gets pushed in the back and has a shot to kick our first to start the fourth. Largest margin of the game.

 

[VandoHawk]

That was one of the worst kicks I've ever seen from Horner, thankfully it doesn't open us up

 

[VandoHawk]

Cooper Stephens a ripping tackle

 

[VandoHawk]

Seamus Mitchell uses his pace to spoil in a fantastic defensive effort, Ramsden drops the mark but then recovers and snaps a beauty from 25.

 

[Hemmo]

Ramsden great snap and goal. BH up by 22.

 

[Dewnior]

That should have been paid a mark to Ramma but footy gods see him kick the goal from play on

 

[Dewnior]

Sheesh McCabe is a smooth mover

 

[VandoHawk]

Thorpe misses from 5 metres out

 

[grumbleguts]

Great game BHH

 

[grumbleguts]

Ramsden great snap and goal. BH up by 22.

How good was that for a big man?

 

[grumbleguts]

Lloyd Meek, I love you.

 

[stemline]

So lost Josh Bennetts early, and Ed Phillips just the one disposal so injured early as well?

If so, it's an even better effort to grind that out, 2 down on the bench for the whole game.

 

[FB19]

A hard watch and harder to play but got the job done. Not many standouts but conditions made that hard felt like Serong and OSullivan handled the conditions best and for me were the difference.
