Box Hill Hawks v Northern Blues - Sat, 30 June 2012, 2.00pm @ BHCO

[Dixie Flatline]

Box Hill Hawks come off yet another bye to host the Northern Blues with the Hawks looking to bounce back from a poor game against Bendigo Gold and tighten their grip on a top eight finish this season. In the meantime, the Blues suffered a heavy defeat last week at the hands of the Cats and will expect a tougher performance.

Again, the question on everybody's lips is whether Hawthorn will see fit to allow Luke Hodge to make his long-awaited return from his knee injury through the VFL or whether he'll slip straight into Hawthorn's 22.

Saturday also represents Box Hill's last home game for a month, so don't delay - come down and support the boys!

Should have Pratt and Muston back which will be welcome and I've noticed Changa has been removed from the Hawks injury list so lets hope he gets a run.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Hodge listed as a week or two away with his knee injury, so I suspect we won't see him at BHCO this weekend.

A bit more interest in this game now with the Blues coach stepping aside this week. http://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4311/newsid/139762/default.aspx

Int: Kelly, Hallahan, Ralph, Grimley, Gordon, Gilchrist, Lawlor, Post, Northe

Not one of our strongest line ups for the year. A concerning lack of height.
No Pattison, Boumann, Or Gilham. Boumann played one game on return from his appendix removal and has missed the past two weeks since. Not sure what's up with Gilham.

 

[go hawks!!!]

No gilham...... mmmmm hope he is ok!

Really need to see more from Halahan this week.

You're right there, RG. Not a lot of height down back.

How's Marc Lock been going this season?

Good side for wet weather.

Defender Stephen Gilham is still considered a key player for the Hawks, with Clarkson revealing that the defender has been troubled by knee soreness.

 

[Rudi Gilham]

Hopefully, with game time, Hallahan will start to win more of the footy.

The lack of height may have been addressed to an extent with Tom Gordon & Kalem Post being named as possible inclusions on the bench. The out of touch Sam Grimley will have to play in Patto's absence, as back up to Lowden.

The forecast we weather will help us contain big Blues' forwards Luke Mitchell & Bret Thornton, but they have the likes of Russell, Bower, Lucas, Collins & Curnow around the ball.

Hopefully Luke Lowden can bounce back from his beating at the hands of David Hille last game and show some form against Nick Meese.

I'm hopeful that Taylor Duryea and Derrick Wanganeen can perform and be considered for promotion next week against GWS.

Oh dear, $5000 fine for you my friend, Luke does not bat that way

This is my last chance to see Box Hill until finals as I'll be overseas for 8wks (spreading the word of Hawthorn and Box Hill ). Let's hope the boys can put on a big show!

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Looking forward to this one. Two of my children are playing Auskick at half-time.

 

[go hawks!!!]

After last night, come down to BHH to watch the youngsters take on the blues. Not sure who is lining up for the Blues but Carl Peterson should be playing in one of the games.

Hope the Stangers win today, come down and bring the family.

Thanks mate! look fwd to a detailed report later hey...Cheers

Poor GH had to leave early. 4Pillars said he spent more time worrying about how he looked rather than watching the game. No wonder he left early and is looking forward to a full review. Good to catchup tiprat.

BEST:​

Very good win to the Stangers. Cheney, Murphy (snr) & Hill all good chances of recalls against GWS. Not sure about Duryea, Lowden & Wanganeen's chances of debuting now.​

What do BH regulars think of Luke Andrews? Seems to have come from nowhere this year. Tough, courageous, inside mid. May be worth a look?​

 

[Ram-Man]

Great win by the Hawks today in trying conditions ... Bruce, Schneider, Wanganeen very good ... Murphy, Cheney solid down back .. Johnson and Pratt great targets up forward .. Thought Gilchrist was good too .. Good team effort.

 

[HawksILove]

anyone know the stats of Brad Hill today
