[Topiary]

What is the score and game period??

Raining goals now. Great play by the Box Hill boys who have been fantastic all day.

 

[VandoHawk]

What is the score and game period??

BH 117 to NM 70 with 10 minutes to go

 

[VandoHawk]

Calsher Dear takes another contested grab in the goal square to kick his fourth.
Moments prior he won the ground ball and snapped a behind.
What an exciting prospect.

 

[Topiary]

BH 117 to NM 70 with 10 minutes to go

Very good win.

 

[grumbleguts]

25 minute mark. 124 BH, 70 North.
Goal number 4 to Calsher.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Great leap, great hands, great at ground level and then the body work to mark that ball! Calsher Dear a name to watch

 

[VandoHawk]

Butler kicks his third goal streaming into the goal square

 

[grumbleguts]

27 minute mark Butler kicks a goal. 130 70

Senior Hawks want to turn up and play tomorrow. Dear, Ward, O’Sullivan, Phillips and Butler all knocking on Sam’s door today.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Ward coming straight back into the senior side, surely.

Butler has had many chances.
But the other four you mentioned, yes please.

 

[TylerDurden]

Phillips 17 marks.

 

[SSSSSS]

Ward coming straight back into the senior side, surely.

Give him a block of 6-8 weeks of pure inside midfield time.

Soligo and Ward for their entire careers have been stuck wasting away on a wing. Soligo gets chucked in the middle out of desperation by Nicks and is looking 10x the player now.

 

[dermott]

Dear just keeps on improving. Great contested mark. He will make AFL.
Max Hall BOG. Great game.

 

[MrBeefSeven]

Max Hall should be on an AFL list

 

[VandoHawk]

What a tough, physical performance from Box Hill.

Max Hall was clear BOG and I would love him on the senior list. Juggernaut game. His tackling technique was phenomenal.

Ward had a complete game. Was tough, used it well and racked it up. Kicked 2.2. His work at stoppage and spread was fantastic.

Phillips took 17 marks and constantly repelled opposition entries. His kicking isn’t great, but he plays within his limitations. Just behind Hall and Ward for BOG.

Butler kicked 3 goals and is a great opportunist, but he goes missing for large periods.

I remember watching players like Larkey, Fritsch and Lewis and thinking they’d be great AFL forwards. I get the same feeling from Dear. He’s a great contested mark, he puts in defensive efforts & he’s good when the ball hits the ground. 4.2 today and 3 ripper contested marks.

BMac was much better with his running this game, kicking a great goal and opening North up.

Ryan has moments that make you take notice, like selling the candy or tapping the ball to advantage instead of taking possession.

Tucker was having a great game before he rolled his ankle and Calsher had to ruck. Hope he’s OK, he seems to excel as the solo ruck.

O’Sullivan is quality rather than quantity. A handful of elite moments. If he can improve his consistency he will debut. 0 tackles a point of contention, but he does chase.

Stephens was probably the only poor performer. Kicked a good goal, but lacks impact and isn't winning a lot of the ball.

Hope Stephens has something going on outside of footy because I can't see him on a list next year. Been really unlucky with injuries but is just a very bog average footballer.

Butler 1 tackle and O’Sullivan 0 is very disappointing. We desperately need high pressure small forwards who love to tackle. Butler’s next stint at AFL level should be as a high half forward.

I still think Butler's traits are better suited to a wing or even an inside mid.

 

[I got the outside word]

I missed the game. Great result! How did it look? I see Dear has had another good showing!

 

[Roger Rogerson]

If you watched JOS game his pressure is excellent and at no stage did you sit there and say “why didn’t you tackle!!!”

 

[PenAndPaper]

Pretty tough on them considering most weeks they have a few tackles.

Thanks for the report, much appreciated

Not looking good for Stephens unfortunately

Butler 3 goals on paper but you certainly couldn’t say he knocked the door down today.
