Preview Box Hill v Carlton practice match, BHCO, Sat April 10th

Another goal to the Blues as we almost reach 29 minutes into the quarter. Box Hill defence under siege and eventually cracks with a long shot from about 50 being accurate. Blues by 13.
 
Box Hill win the centre clearance thanks to a lovely tap from Reeves and a quick kick off the ground by Cousins and a free kick on half forward flank leads to a strong mark from Jeka 20 out in front. He doesn't miss.
 
Jeka gets a dubious free kick 50 out and on an angle but he gives it a massive roost against the breeze and kicks truly. Scores level 69 each.
 
Dixie Flatline is our midfield just getting beaten despite the reported dominance of Reeves, or have his taps not been as good this quarter?

Reeves is going well. Brooksby not so much.

Edited to add. When Reeves went back into the ruck, he was tapping the ball into space and creating chances for the Box Hill midfielders to run onto the ball. When Brooksby was in the ruck, he had the bad habit of mistiming his leaps.

Might have to hand you the keys to the Box Hill Twitter account. They seem to have gone home.
 
Will Day is here to support the boys.
 
Quick Carlton clearance from the first centre bounce sees Mitch McGovern win a free kick for a poor tackle. He converts. Blues by a goal very early into the third quarter.
 
Carlton win a holding the ball decision at centre half forward and it is converted. Troubling signs for Box Hill. 93-75 with Carlton kicking against the wind.
