Review Round 3, 2023: Geelong Cats v Box Hill Hawks, 10 April 2023, 11.45am @ MCG

[grumbleguts]

Who’s the number 40?

Seamus Mitchell

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Spot fires are every where and the Hawks are killing the Cats.
Butler has 4 goals and Stephens seems to be going ok today.

 

[kenneje]

This is ******* awesome, talent and excitement across every line.

 

[rei154]

Anyone able to confirm what's happened to Hustwaithe?

 

[hardway]

How good does he look now. Him Butler, DGB and Rama gone be blue chippers down the track.

If DGB is not getting senior games in the coming weeks it won’t be doing him any good for his development.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

DGB is class

Who’s the number 40?

andy Collins

You mean today, that’ll be Seamus Mitchell

 

[rei154]

If DBG is not getting senior games in the coming weeks it won’t be doing him any good for his development.

Denver, Long, Morris and Stepho all look well above the grade, and plenty more showing why they're on the list.

 

[Davo-27]

good to see Morris back, he is a good player since his switch to hbf, taking tough marks and doing the tough jobs, even getting into fights.

 

[TylerDurden]

Butler above the level.

Would we look at Thorpe in the MSD?

 

[VandoHawk]

Almost BMac

 

[Wingnut19]

Butler above the level.

Would we look at Thorpe in the MSD?

Prob a little old

 

[Bardo State]

Just got back in time to watch the second half, any stand outs? Seen the stat lines.

Butler BOG

DGB barely put a foot wrong

BMac and Seamus both very strong defensively and going forward

Lynch very solid against bad opposition

Long and Stephens both pretty good in patches. Similar for O'Sullivan, Bennetts, Ramsden, Morris.

This is why I love watching Box Hill Hawks playing. Hopefully Mitchel can stay injury free.

 

[VandoHawk]

I am really glad we didn't get Bruhn

 

[VandoHawk]

O'Sullivan and Bennetts both fantastic in traffic there, leads to a Thorpe goal

 

[Davo-27]

we have so much space now that the Geelong team have tired from being on the backfoot and defending all game

Thorpe with the goal, 6 goals by the hawks this quarter

Geel 14 - 80 BHH

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Huge cliff coming Geelong’s way

 

[Lotus]

If DBG is not getting senior games in the coming weeks it won’t be doing him any good for his development.

In the "One day with James Sicily/captain" video (can't remember the title). Sicily mentioned to DGB that's very close for senior game. He's been playing well and training really well. So hopefully it'll be soon.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Butler above the level.

Would we look at Thorpe in the MSD?

Thorp to old

 

[CHUBBSS]

Lynch has been very good today, and you can only beat who is out there, but I think his opponent is barely VFL standard

Oh their shocking, but he just moves to better spots on the ground, provides a little more then meek for transition at the moment, he has the development to play the style we want, meek doesn’t yet, I’d argue their better in the opposing sides for development of both

 

[TDS7]

I must have tuned in just when Stephens was in his purple patch, he's been nowhere since I trumped him up.

DGB looks more composed than the last time we saw him at AFL level. His kicking is sublime. if we need him playing VFL to grow his game as a 1-on-1 defender that's fine but I would love him in Frosty's spot.

Young guns have plenty of talent, just need to build their tank. Bennets, JOS, BMac all shown good signs.

 

[westhawk]

If DBG is not getting senior games in the coming weeks it won’t be doing him any good for his development.

Too good for VFL.

 

[VandoHawk]

That's my biggest issue with Bramble. The other small defenders use their speed to close defensively, but for all his tools Bramble can't seem to catch up when he gives his opponent space

 

[rei154]

O'Hara looks to be getting better treatment than Nash when he first came in- give the lad another year in the magoos and I'm confident he'll make it at the top level.

 

[Davo-27]

Lynch with another goal and dominating the ruck, good signs

Geel 21 - 86 BHH
