Review Round 5, 2022: Coburg Lions v Box Hill Hawks, 24 April 2022, 1.05pm @ Piranha Park

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Morris potentially playing limited time then travelling as emergency?

He was named on socials, but didn't see him out there.

Morris and Bramble are now out there.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Good to see Bramble back out there.

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Coburg have more men in defence, outnumber us 3-1, kick into the midfield, where they outnumber us 5-3, and then rush it forward where they outnumber us 4-3.

Are we playing men short?

 

[moginie]

We aren't taking our opportunities and they are taking it out of their back 50 with ease.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Please man up guys

 

[moginie]

Jeka looks slow to react and slow to recover. Hope he can turn it around.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

LACHIE WYND! Finally, we get another.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

LACHIE WYND! Finally, we get another.

Bramble the last couple of minutes has been on fire!

 

[grumbleguts]

Does anyone else have an abject irrational hatred for coburg and have no idea where it comes from?

 

[moginie]

Bramble the last couple of minutes has been on fire!

Yeah, he took a little while to get back into it.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Jeka seems to have gone backwards this year. Was attacking the ball and using his athleticism in the matches I saw last season, this year he seems to be playing behind and getting out bodied.

The tools are definitely there, just needs to put them all together

 

[VandoHawk]

Bramble came on in the second quarter and was good. His contested work and defensive efforts are surprisingly good for an outside player.
Butler remains very clean at ground level and very good with defensive efforts. Few missed kicks but they weren't howlers.
Liking Seamus in the new role but it's a tough position to break into.
Callow might not be a ruck but I think he's capable enough to ruck in the forward 50, similar to Hawkins. Spent a lot of this game rucking.

 

[hardway]

Not much cohesion with the box hill side, they look a little disorganised.
Butler has been promising need to get the ball into his hands a lot more.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Jeka looks slow to react and slow to recover. Hope he can turn it around.

Unless he is injured, his progress seems to have stalled.

I hope Proc and Mitch really challenge him. He has talent, just not the heart. Can see why he slipped to the rookie draft. Such a shame to lose untapped talent.

You would think this maybe his last chance to break through before the end of 2022.

 

[burner1]

Outside butler and some signs from bramble not a heap to get excited about this far.

Long's been ok and Saunders has been busy.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Bramble look good in his return.

DBR our new ruck looked spent in the second qtr. First VFL game for us, understandable!

Howes looked ok in the contested. An Long, Mitchell and Butler have had moments in the game. Callow working hard around the ground.

Were missing Greenes forward work.

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Hitouts 18-4, and DBR won the first 3! Barely sighted him since.

Callow rucked most of 2nd, starting ruck after half time - are Hawk rucks like Spinal Tap drummers?

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

JEKA GOT A MARK!

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

On the right of the screen end is the winner of today's match.

 

[grumbleguts]

Jeka is afraid of having a shot.

 

[grumbleguts]

All you have to do these days if you are tackled is go to your knees and then go forward "IN THE BACK!"

 

[hardway]

You would think this game was being played in the most atrocious weather.

 

[grumbleguts]

These umpires are full on cheating now. Probably trying for their first dissent fifty so they can claim their quota checque.

 

[VandoHawk]

It really sucks that after we kick like 6 behinds in a row they kick one with their first real shot on goal. But bad kicking is bad football.
