Review Round 12, 2017: Box Hill Hawks v Williamstown, 9 July 2017, 2.00pm @ BHCO

[Dixie Flatline]

The Hawks play the first of their three consecutive home games against another finals aspirant, in the shape of the Seagulls. The Hawks played Williamstown earlier in the season at Burbank Oval and came away with a comfortable 28 point victory (13.12.90 to 8.14.62).

The Hawks currently sit a game clear of Port Melbourne with eight wins, a draw and a loss on the ledger. Williamstown currently sit in third, six points back from Port Melbourne with a considerably higher percentage, so the game promises to be a cracker. Port Melbourne are on the road to play the Northern Blues, who are desperate to consolidate their position in the top eight (they are currently sixth on percentage), so this shapes as another crucial round on the road to finals.

The development squad got back on the winners' list with an eight point victory over the Blues last weekend and they host the Seagulls in a must-win game for their finals hopes. The Hawks sit sixth on the ladder, a game back from Williamstown (having played a game less than the Seagulls) so a win over the Seagulls on Sunday morning (from 11am) will put the Hawks right back in finals contention.

As per usual, 3WBC 94.1FM will have live coverage of the senior game from 1pm. You can stream their coverage from their website (www.3wbc.org.au) or use the TuneIn app on your smart device. The Hawks will provide regular score updates for both matches on www.twitter.com/boxhillhawks

Teams to follow this evening.

Well a few Box Hill watchers who watched the first game would know that Fitzy going into the ruck in the second half won the game for us as Pitt got injured. Big game for Pitt this one. Meesen has troubled him in the past.

 

[WWSD]

IN: Willsmore, Hanrahan, Lewis, Switkowski, Murphy, Williams


B: Harry Morrison, Ayden Kennedy, Sam Gibson

HB: Nelson Lane, Max Warren, Teia Miles

C: Dallas Willsmore, Brendan Whitecross, Conor Glass

HF: Anthony Brolic, Chris Jones, Oliver Hanrahan

F: Mitch Lewis, Ty Vickery, Vincent Adduci

R: Marc Pittonet, Andrew Moore, James Cousins

INT: Jordan Walker, Aaron Bond, Billy Murphy, Sam Switkowski, Billy Evans, Liam Cox, Nick Evans, Joseph Fisher, Lachlan Williams

 

[TheFourPillars]

Switta an awesome in we missed his pace and good to see hanrahan back

 

[stemline]

Mitch O'Donnell named in the Dev Squad. Huge plus if he can get up and going.

 

[houdinihuddo]

The Development Team listed on the BHH web site does not include Mitch O'Donnell who along with Mirra and Hams hoped to play this week. There are 13 HFC listed/rookie players missing in action however with Willsmore, Hanrahan, Lewis and possibly Switkowski returning we gain three players since Birchall is the only out. With the Hawks playing on Saturday barring injury there will be no need to hold back a spare. I'm glad I went to Preston last week to watch Tony Olongo play because he has not been named this week.

[stemline]

Weird the way they name these sides. Seven or eight of the senior side are also named in the Dev Side. Presumably most of them will be in the seniors, so the Dev Side will need more players from somewhere. Hopefully that means O'Donnell is playing. But who knows.

 

[houdinihuddo]

Barring any late withdrawals for Hawthorn and/or the BHH four players named in the senior team will play in the development team.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Some good ins, especially happy to see Switta and Lewis back. Looking foward to this one, should be a good game.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

The Box Hill twitter person must be on school holidays as there are no score updates for the development game. However the guys on 3WBC said the final score was Box Hill 110 to Willy 68 so a good win for the Development Team
