[Gut Runner]

Bmac can find the ball, just needs to tidy up those forward 50 entries

 

[Gut Runner]

Where is Thorpe today?

Groin - Commentators said 2-3 weeks away

 

[Kuuz]

Maric has just shown a perfect demo to any recruiters in doubt.

Kicks two goals, good with hands and vision and good forward pressure with a cracking tackle.

Very surprised if he doesn't go No.1 next Wednesday.

 

[grumbleguts]

They're going with the trick shots with the handballs, Box Hill.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Fionn just completed an underground hand pass, deliberately.

Can he name his contract price? Would that help?

 

[MJA33]

Stephens has looked good today.
Best game for the year.

 

[VandoHawk]

Umpires have lifted big time for the Dons

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Long has had 20 disposals, 4 tackles and a goal before half time. Having a big game .

 

[Wingnut19]

I reckon Max Hall is the most impressive out of the kids in MSD we’re looking at?

 

[Gut Runner]

Very strong for VFL, not sure who he pushes out from the AFL side though

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I reckon Max Hall is the most impressive out of the kids in MSD we’re looking at?

The club loves Stanley.

He turned up to Box Hill over the summer and they were really impressed with his upside.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

she has really lifted that female umpire

 

[VandoHawk]

That's 6 free kicks in a row

 

[Kuuz]

Box Hill have completely stopped - conceded three goals in about 3 minutes.

Lost clearances and then pinged by the umpire several times :/

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The drug cheats brought their umpires

 

[Gut Runner]

That's 6 free kicks in a row

Yep umpiring been poor, but we have won the first possession of all the last stoppages and stuffed it up.

 

[SSSSSS]

Bombers really getting kissed on the dick.

 

[VandoHawk]

7 in a row leading to three Essendon goals.

 

[Kuuz]

Got another free for a very tame high call on the siren too

Still, those frees came from losing clearances going straight into our backline - the pressure leading to the questionable frees.

Felt like our mids just fell asleep at the end there.

Still feels like we're very sloppy with the ball and basic skills - wonder if the ball is slick from the morning rain.

 

[TylerDurden]

Ned Long BOG by a mile.

Narkle was impressive that qtr.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Watching the first half of footy, Morrison is going to be spending some extended time at Box Hill. No urgency and down on confidence / form
