Review Round 6, 2021: Box Hill v Carlton, Sunday 23rd May @ 12:05pm, IKON Park

[grumbleguts]

Saunders has been brilliant, but anyone saying he is clear best on is ignoring the utter domination from ceglar.

 

[grumbleguts]

NASH! Great tackle.

For such a supposedly good kick Hartley is a bit sh*t with his decision making.

It's why Essendon got rid of him. He's a depth player on a list. Awesome guy to have around a club from Essendon people's reports.

Essendon didn’t get rid of him. He took a longer contract with us.

Essendon didnt get rid of him they offered him a contract which he didn't take.

 

[Walshawk]

I would grab Newcombe in the mid season draft and put him straight into the Hawthorn team. Quick, hard, great decision maker and foot skills.

Hey, I'd like everyone to have a laugh with me - yesterday after watching the seniors I cracked up at Carltanks 25yr rebuild - they have 10 afl listed player out their today


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

What I've seen, he appears to be doing a lot to block for the main midfielder.

 

[Yardie]

Well that was disgraceful by the umpire. Both players having a discussion trying to work out what was the infringement.

Umpires can't just pay a free kick and then not explain what it was for!?!?

 

[lethalselbow]

How good is it to see Jeka. Brockman, Downie, Saunders, etc at Box Hill. Reckon the brain's trust at Hawthorn know what they're on about. The future looks bright.

I actually think he's been incredibly solid. His kicking has been above standard, his hands in close have been elite and his decision making has been remarkable I reckon. If he can have a couple weeks averaging 20 odd disposals and with the same effectiveness he's shown today he's going to get a good run in the seniors.

Very much feels like it'll be a short term pain long term gain kind of situation. I think if we can nail this off season through the draft so that we've got a healthy supply of players coming through BHH we're going to be in a great position.

Good drafting by McKenzie the past couple of drafts. Or so it's looking at this early stage - amazing what a bit of pace does.

I reckon he's been very solid, just overshadowed by other players standing out more.

His follow up efforts after each disposal has been elite. Burning his opponents. Clean with his hands all game too.

 

[H00t]

Let me reiterate box hill play the same game plan as the hawks. Its amazing when u execute and the opposition are poor defensively

Honestly I think this is the problem with the game plan. It’s going to potentially see 2 100 point wins in a row against woeful opposition in the VFL but the game plan breaks down even against the Roos at AFL level.

We’ve seen teams need to drop or simplify game plans before, e.g. Hardwick stumbling on a winning formula at tigers through luck as his previous game plan didn’t work.

Will say I do appreciate the continued updates about what goes on at training and how we want to play. It is hugely appreciated.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Newcombe 20 touches and 8 clearances.

I was against taking a mid in the MSD but I want this kid. Only 19 years old.

Massive at the goal kicking spread

 

[burner1]

Are we really good or are they just terrible. Appears a lot of blow outs in this new vfl as some big differences in experience in the squads.

 

[PT Bar None]

One of my pet hates that.

Bloke gets caught HTB and wants to fight with the tackler. It's pure time wasting and should be an immediate 50m.

Instead we get a third player to come in and thump the bloke starting the fight and we get a reversal.

So annoying the lack of common sense in adjudication

Why wouldn't you want a mid? I thought that was the biggest hole in our list?

Newcombe does look alright.

 

[H00t]

Jeka’s field kicking is insane. Every time I watch him kick the ball it’s just beautiful

Yep, but stupid by the Hawks player. The CarlTANK player, Crocker, flopped pretty easily.
