Review Round 2, 2015: Box Hill Hawks v Coburg Lions, 26 April 2015, 2pm @ BHCO

[Dixie Flatline]

Box Hill, fresh from their round 1 victory over reigning premiers Footscray, host their first game of the season with a match against one of the stand-alone clubs, Coburg, at Box Hill City Oval. This match will be played by the teams for the ANZAC Cup.

Coburg will also come into the game with plenty of confidence after toppling Richmond in round 1 by 15 points, thanks to a four-goal burst that went unanswered by the Tigers in the third term. Younan and Cauchi each kicked three goals for the Lions, while former Melbourne and West Coast Eagles player Cale Morton picked up 29 possessions (Uysal had 32 and Venditti 25 for the Lions).

First bounce is at 2pm. With the Hawks having an early season bye next week (round 3), there's no better time to come down to Box Hill City Oval to watch one of the best teams in the VFL go through its paces.

The development squad plays its first game of the season with a match against the Coburg Lions reserves starting at 10.45am.

As per usual, 3WBC (94.1FM) will have full match coverae of the senior team. You can listen on the old wireless radio tuning in at 94.1FM, through the 3WBC website at 3wbc.org.au and using the TuneIn app on your favourite device.

Does this mean P McEvoy plays in both games?

 

[moginie]

What little I've seen of Ryan Exon I really like. I hope he has a good year.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Does this mean P McEvoy plays in both games?

Unlikely. Remember that Box Hill has to name an extended bench due to Hawthorn playing on Sunday. He will play seniors, I reckon.

 

[stemline]

Hawthorn play on Saturday. But everyone on the Box Hill extended bench is also named in the Dev Squad. I guess they haven't finalised the Box Hill side yet, as they play on Sunday.

 

[walhawk]

Reckon Simpkin will go to Adelaide, but Shoe and Ando could do with full VFL games.

Given the current state of such a healthy list, then you'd imagine that any boys with niggles will be withdrawn prior to the game....We're up against a stand-alone team, so it pays to be conservative.

I reckon all 3 will go to Adelaide as precautionary, much as last week!

Maybe. they will be back in time for Box Hill Sunday anyway.

Glad Shem and little Langford are getting a run in the Magoos. Will be interesting to see their progression this year.

Planning to go to this match, hoping the rain stays away though

Hale must surely have a niggle if he's not playing.

I quite enjoy a wet day at the footy. My children loved it last year when it absolutely poured and they jumped in puddles all day. They won't be with me tomorrow though -missus is taking them to swimming lessons. Like that will help them in their adulthood!

.....Hale must surely have a niggle if he's not playing.

Heard Clarko say Haler was carrying a groin, plus he is supposed to have a chronic back.

Looking forward to this game,

Hey everyone,
I'm going to my first Box Hill Hawks game and I've heard that parking in the matches is fairly painful. Where is the best place to park? Mind you I need to be at the ground around 12-12:30. Appreciate any help!

 

[Grumblez]

Don't think it's worthy of a new topic does anyone know if i can take my puppy to the game? Long time since I've been to a game

You can

Thanks

Parking shouldn't be too bad at that time. Don't think you'll have a problem finding a spot in a side street.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Likewise....And a win should help ease the indigestion emanating from last nights disaster!

 

[savagelunchbox]

A few spots are open for those who play today. Will be interesting to see who puts their case forward.
