Review Round 14, 2022: Footscray Bulldogs v Box Hill Hawks, 25 June 2022, 1.05pm @ Western Oval

[Walshawk]

Geez we look slow. On a windy day you want speed not height .
.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

53 to 4

 

[burner1]

What’s going on? (Not watching) Seems like our worst performance of year so far. Is it a simple matter of too many young hawks and not enough of our very good vfl players?

 

[rei154]

Usually rely on our VFL boys to do a fair bit of heavy lifting due to the youthful afl listed players being in this side- they've gone missing a bit today.

Penny hasn't dropped with either jeka or callow how to play the wind.

How many stupid over the head handballs. Long a culprit.

Another goal 59 to 4.

9 unanswered goals. We trying to beat the seniors with 13?

 

[tommyk72]

This is pathetic. Not what I wanted to see after last night. A mixture of poor skills and poor application.

Not switched on any of them. And they are red hot.

10 in a row now.

 

[tommyk72]

They just can't miss now.

 

[grumbleguts]

If this knob says "take a bow" again...

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

WE GOT A GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Jeka trying to take contested chest marks. Get your hands above your head son.

 

[grumbleguts]

Is Morris playing? Should be

He is, but has been woeful. 2 touches.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

McLean takes on the tackle, Long brings him down, play on. what.

 

[TylerDurden]

Has Phillips been on??
Shaved his head apparently.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

WE GOT A GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

CAVARRA AGAIN!

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Two quick ones finally.

65 to 16

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

He's on the wing.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Has Phillips been on??
Shaved his head apparently.

Yep. Looks very different. Couple of kicks. He's been in the middle which was strange. Now out on the wing.

 

[Ram-Man]

So why did it take until the 31 minute mark of the second quarter to play with the intensity required?

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Jesus Christ, that half was the footballing equivalent of what ScoBo did to the Poms last summer. Unfortunately for us, we were the Englishman in this scenario.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

So why did it take until the 31 minute mark of the second quarter to play with the intensity required?

Oddly enough, we've laid 20 more tackles than them, so that's not bad.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

14 - 6 free kicks, for those wondering. Typical dogs game.

 

[Lotus]

I want to see some fight back in the second half.

Need to win some percentage back. That quick back to back goals from Ben Cavarra

should ignite the teams.

 

[Alite]

The Dogs are hitting the contest at speed while the Hawks are mostly stationary. Their possessions are in space surging fwd while ours go in a circle and so going nowhere.

We have looked best when Callow is in ruck and spiking the ball clear of the stoppage.

This belting is a system issue. Hopefully after half time we get a few players moving through the stoppages.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Good hands by Ward just then, but we mucked up the entry from that point.
