Box Hill Practice Matches

[Bumpswithagrin]

Was wondering that too, nothing on their Twitter account about the matches as yet...

 

[Roger Rogerson]

i thought it was tomorrow but i may be wrong

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Oops, you are right (footy deprivation taking its toll)

 

[stemline]

Oops here too.

 

[Roddy27]

Box Hill lead Northern Blues by 5 goals at quarter time. 33 to 3.

 

[Roddy27]

Not a great second quarter, but good defensively to keep the blues scoring to a minimum. lead by 16pts at half time.

Any HFC listed players, or is this Dev Squad first up?

I am not there watching, just passing on updates from social media sites, and various commentary.

It's the seniors game though.

I read from someone on twitter that there were no HFC listed players playing today at all. Seems very strange to me.

 

[Roddy27]

3qtr time - Hawks up 67 - 44.

 

[Roddy27]

scores level with not much time left in the last...

 

[Roddy27]

Box Hill win.

Some really terrific shots there!

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Thanks DavSav.

No HFC on the paddock but a fair few showed up to watch. Good support, good to see

Bloos had a about a dozen listed players. No shortage of rubbish.

Good to hear see and hear BHH ruck Tom Goodwin take it up to Cam Wood. Wood gobbed off then got all shy.

Big Boy's brother had a run at FF and looked handy, Brandon Wood also caught my eye. Expect a big year from the stangas.

It may have been a practice match but the performance by the mighty Mustang Hawkers can't be overstated. The Carlton players I recognized were Rowe, Bootsma, Scotland, Buckley, Casboult, Wood, Cachia, Graham and White plus our key play maker Sam Iles didn't play. The first quarter was pure excitement with very good run and carry football combined with defensive pressure. The second quarter was all about a young side withstanding the "inevitable" strong comeback. The third quarter started as a repeat of the first quarter and we kicked 5.3 to 1.1 before they scored the last 3.1. I listened to Marco Bello's 3/4 time address before heading to the GP thinking it would take a great effort for our VFL players to outlast a team with so many AFL listed players.

The most pleasing aspect for me was watching Luke Andrews and Michael Thompson playing good tough footy after missing most of last season with injuries. The recruits to play were Ayden Kennedy, Peter Mcvoy, Joseph Fisher and Jordan Walker and they all showed something. The two to stand out were Kennedy who was very solid as a key defender and Fisher who looked an exciting prospect as an attacking back flanker.

Anyone know if BHH are having a hit out this week?

 

[stemline]

Saw it mentioned somewhere they have a practice match tomorrow (Friday). It's not listed anywhere, so perhaps it's an intra-club.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Great report Cashy.

Any idea what is wrong with Hartung?

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Brand is still ten kgs off the pace but there is so much to like about how he goes about it. His agility and speed are elite. Be interesting watching how the BHH backs are managed. Kennedy, Brand, Heatherly, Cheney, Kelly, Litherland and Ross is a formidable defensive unit.

 

[houdinihuddo]

24 was Dylan Vizzari and his tackle on Boxer was very strong. They both went to ground and Boxer was a little shaken. They helped each other to their feet and Boxer gave Dylan a pat on the head. Mutual respect and great sportsmanship. Some of the combined ball movement by Andrews, O'Donnell and Wood through the centre of the ground was very good. We have a lot to look forward to in 2014.

I can't wait for next Saturday at Burbank Oval, Williamstown with the development team playing at 10:00am and the seniors at 1:00pm

Hi lads.
Any word on who may have been appointed as Box Hills captain this year?
David Mirra perhaps or Sam illes.
