Review 2015 Grand Final: Box Hill Hawks v Williamstown Seagulls, 27 September 2015, 3.00pm @ Etihad Stadium

[Dixie Flatline]

3/4 time and the Hawks have it all to do with Williamstown leading 12.10.82 to 7.14.56.

People shitting on Box Hill is a bit rich, lots of talented players that didn't turn up today sure, but they did make 3 grand finals in a row.

Yep, just a lot of them having off days today. Have seem them all play a lot better than this.

 

[Tyrone Time]

Both our pick ups from GWS in Jed and Jono just can't make the big league

Sadly, agree.

 

[Hawks1994]

Wow. Just wow. If you don't take your chances, you ain't gonna win

This will have to be a huge last quarter to get up. Big efforts from everyone. Lets see who wants this

 

[Pessimistic]

Box Hill saving their worst performance of the year for the Grand Final.

Grimley, Whitecross and Spangher have been putrid. Can understand why Spang is so out of form, but Whitecross's disposal has been shithouse today, and Grimley is effectively a 23rd man on the Williamstown team, as he has completely screwed up his 3 chances for goals. Cannot wait till Grimley is off our list.

Langers and Simpkin have tried and tried, but no one else with them. JOR and Jed have been far too quiet.

Main issue, is similar to Norf last night. We have had our chances and blown them. That, coupled with several brain explosions from key players at key times have just sown the seeds of a loss.

Its almost a carbon copy of the last meeting with willy

 

[Cleavy]

I don't suppose we are kicking into a massive breeze? Goal kicking appalling.

kicking with the breeze in the last quarter

 

[dermott]

I better post something positive but it is difficult. Miles looks as if he will be a footballer.
Unfortunately Willi looking much the better team.
If Brisbane is watching this game surely they won't pick Grimmers.

ORourke looks very lost. Jed I think can still make it. Did a lot of nice 1 percenters in that quarter. Just has to win some clean ball

 

[Baz_hawk]

One word: Wasteful.

Had our chances and just didn't convert. Would need everything to go right to win from here. Can't see it happening to be honest, our forward entries have been poor, no one looking, just bombing it high and the result is always the same.

Bring Hartung on for a quarter, we could use some run and carry.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Have Spangher or Ceglar actually touched the ball. Mirra having an absolute shocker! Simpkin our best

Agree on Miles. Needa some more muscle but looks the goods

People shitting on Box Hill is a bit rich, lots of talented players that didn't turn up today sure, but they did make 3 grand finals in a row.

Pretty typical of many of our supporters, unfortunately.

Um yes they have made the GF three times, but I think supporters are justified to negatively comment on some players performances today. We're "shitting" on our players because of expectations. We KNOW they can play better, like they have the whole year. We are playing far below our best, including some of our future mids like Jed and JOR who have dipped massively today from prior form.

Pretty sure Bello will be giving similar comments to some of his players judging by some of the un-explainable brain explosions some have had this game (i.e. Grimley's decision to kick for goal beyond his range, Gordon's failure to pull the ball behind for a goal, etc).

 

[Ram-Man]

Very disappointing thusfar , boys need to attack the ball a lot harder than they are .. and kick a lot straighter.

 

[savagelunchbox]

If you include the OOTF's, BHH had 1 more scoring shot in that Qtr.

 

[grumbleguts]

Need to throw everythning at them now.

 

[Sleutheren]

O'Rourke bombs the ball forward to the literally smallest man on the ground in Teia Miles who was outnumbered two-one.

Absolute terrible decision.

And he kicked it straight over the head of Lawlor, who was leading by himself about 45m out. Frustrating as s**t.

 

[Hawks1994]

C'mon boys! Big effort!

 

[Kuuz]

Need the players to forget the last 90 minutes and just come out breathing fire. Leaving nothing in the tank.

AND KICK STRAIGHT like you have all year lads.

GO HAWKS!

Cegakr won;t be a surprise in for the GF this week.

 

[The Lemon]

Jeddy baby

 

[grizzlym]

Anderson another freak goal.

 

[Hawks1994]

Great goal Jedi!!

 

[Kuuz]

JEDI!

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Anderson scores the important first goal of the quarter with a bouncing snap on the run under some pressure. The boy can play.

Cegakr won;t be a surprise in for the GF this week.

Hale will play, kick 3
