Review Round 10: Williamstown v Box Hill Hawks, 21 June 2015, 2pm @ Burbank Oval

[Roger Rogerson]

He is a bit different to most young players Jed in that his work off the ball defensively is solid and consistent whereas his ability to win the ball and handle it is up and down. Once the latter becomes more even he moves up for good. Sort of needs to calm down a tad too in games and understand the ebb and flow of a game. If only he could play next to Hodgey for a season...

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I think his disposal efficiency would be fairly low and he didn't have any real impact on the game had something like 16 or 17 disposals

Langford had 17 disposals, 10 kicks and 7 handballs. He did have 6 tackles though which was second only to Simpkin who had 8.

 

[Dewnior]

Make of it whatever you want

Was tongue in cheek TH, probably should have used one of these

 

[Big Hotdog]

All sounds exciting.
Only thing that is annoying is Jed Anderson.

Had him locked in our seniors best 18. Has been solid in the VFL but not exactly banging the door down.

Any thoughts on his form ?

This has me thinking of the Cliff thread on the main board. What makes you learn as a young bloke is playing seniors and eventually we are going to have to expose a number of our listed players at senior level for an extended run.

Problem is that we a dirth of talented offspring you cant put them all in the seniors at once.

That's true.
Anderson, Woodward, O'Rourke could all do with 30 more senior AFL matches.

Problem is, as a premiership aspirant we can't afford the teething problems until the window is closed

Was not at the game. Radio guys said Mees was the best ruck on the ground. Mees is a stumpy ruckman but a pretty good scrapper, BB should have dominated him. Anyone at the ground have any views on the ruck contests?

I wasn't at the ground but note BB was given our best player.

Thanks for posting those stats. So Meese has three less hitouts and two more disposals than BB and cant get in their top 5 yet BB is deemed BOG. Similar question to be asked about Woody.

Great to see TO and Sicily getting so many disposals. Hope those numbers are their new benchmarks.

I would say that Big Boy had an imposing first half he was grabbing everything that was coming his way and dominating the game for box hill. Its fair to say he set the tone and set up the win and was the reason we had a big lead leading into the second half. He faded as the game went on his second half was no where his first half.

Edit: the word here is IMPACT Mcevoy was huge in the first half

Stats aren't everything . We of all supporters should know that. Langer's disposal were rushed and his handballs blocked. As a midfielder he was highly inneffective. As i mentioned he goes in hard and tackles well but did give a few free kicks away. Believe me i was watching closely after all we as supporters are looking for him to recapture some of that form from last year.

Yes, I know stats aren't everything. I was just providing them for information

 

[B&GBlood]

I really liked Howe's numbers, stats suggest a very good contribution. Where did he play? HBF?

Started on fire had a run through the middle in and under early on great hands

 

[Obi fella]

With a game in hand. You guys are looking the goods!

 

[BOP66]

Any one know why Litherland didn't play?
Was named at full back. Thanks for the help if you know.

 

[BigRough]

Perhaps Box Hill Hawks can answer?

McEvoy 9 Marks....Meese 0 Marks!....Pretty sure that herein lies the difference.

 

[IdiotBox]

Who is this HURT you speak of?....OH, you meant Kurt.

Can't agree with you more about Mirra....A great captain.

Procrastinator35 - You have inadvertently given me a left-field idea. Should Hawthorn ever (God forbid!) consider changing their mascot from the Mighty Fighting Hawk then, given our 'obvious' propensity for unsociable football and general thuggishness, I reckon the moniker, "Hawthorn Hurt" might be the go. I'm thinking along the lines of Melbourne Heart or Perth Glory where the mascot / logo is not an animal or thing.

Counter offer....You have in fact supplied the perfect Come-back/heading under which all hitherto media gripes/beat-ups & hyperbole can best be labelled:

'Hawk Hurt'....Robbo, Ralph, Barrett, Wilson et al....All have a severe case of it!

Robbo....That Mr Sheen of over-weened diaper drippers....With his quivering lower-lip, his endless babbling & thumb sucking, tub thumping ways....

All symptomatic of 'Hawk Hurt'.:thumbsu:

Ongoing back issue that flares up from time-to-time. Should be good for this week. So we might see an even stronger BHH line-up at Victoria Park with Liquor plus Schoey/Suckers/Billy or whoever makes way for Birch. Scary.
