Review Round 4, 2023: Box Hill Hawks v Collingwood, 16 April 2023, 12.00pm @ BHCO

[Judd2Sewell]

Weddle, Ramma and O'Sullivan were great in the third. Blanck, Butler and Lynch were all good too.

 

[cs61]

Mostly hybrid forwards are tall but a liability when ball hits ground, but Ramsden is sharp when it hits the deck. Would be a really tricky match up if he was the 3rd target down the track, if he can get a height mis match but also show that class off the deck.

 

[Lotus]

Will watch the replay, just back from groceries shopping. Really surprised with the scoreline

 

[Judd2Sewell]

JOS's side step is a thing of beauty

 

[Davo-27]

Coll kicking a couple goals now

BHH 104 - 49 Coll

 

[Davo-27]

Blanck and Morris, cool under pressure

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Great pressure from JOS to help create that goal.

 

[Davo-27]

Masciti goal from 45m on an angle

BHH 111- 49 Coll

 

[KermitJagger]

Kosi's performances at this level are bafflingly poor. As an athlete he should be head and shoulders above most of his opponents but he just looks lost.

On a more positive note tho, how's the depth? It's great to have an organisation as strong as Box Hill aligned with us.

 

[cs61]

Blanck and Morris, cool under pressure

I like Morris, reckon he could fit into our back 6/7, or play off the bench, but just will have to wait for opportunity and build his fitness.

 

[The hands of stone]

Gee its hard not too get excited about Ramsden .

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Gee its hard not too get excited about Ramsden .

And JOS

 

[VandoHawk]

That's Weddle's strength, running hard to provide another option. Protected O'Hara then ran 60 metres to be another option. Unfortunately Ed Phillips slips over and we get opened up the other way.

 

[KermitJagger]

Have to admit I thought all the ramsden hype on this board was a bit nuffie at first but having watched a few games from him last year and this year, gee he really is impressive. Credit to those that called it early. Could be an absolute steal.

I always felt it was reasonable. There's been far more hype on far poorer players, where Ramsden is a bit of a unicorn athletically and seems to improve every game he plays.

I don't want to kick Kozi at the minute, as it's pretty clear he's down on form bad.

But one thing really annoyed me today. Went for a marking contest in the 3rd, didn't mark it and just sort of stopped/gave up afterwards, even though the ball was still being contested. Like zero second efforts - just frustrating. Basic efforts will help to break his form rut.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Ramsden going for 5

 

[Davo-27]

Ramsden intercept mark 40m straight in front, missed

This isn't a form rut, this is Kosi in the VFL. He's worse in the VFL than he is in the AFL, it's inexplicable.

 

[Kuuz]

DAMN - wanted Ramma to get his 5th. Still a little more time to get it.

 

[killerspud]

And JOS

And Bennets

 

[Lotus]

Ramsden going for 5

You're jinxed it

 

[Davo-27]

Weddle running strong in 2nd half, O'Hara copped a bump

 

[Kuuz]

This isn't a form rut, this is Kosi in the VFL. He's worse in the VFL than he is in the AFL, it's inexplicable.

He's been better than he was last week - he was largely invisible last week. Had some neat efforts and contested marks better.

He's clearly down on form, he's played better for us. But there are some concerning trends in his gameplay - big part his contested work and second efforts for mine.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

What a nuffie umpire, giving a free kick for deliberate out of bounds for missed shot at goal off the gorund.

He needs to be tried as a close-checking KPD, he's just completely lost as a forward. Especially when the game is scrappy.

He obviously looked better previously when there was space for him to lead into, but he's just not going to get that at this level.
