Review Round 15, 2022: GWS Giants v Box Hill Hawks, 3 July 2022, 11.35am @ GIANTS Stadium

[Dixie Flatline]

The Box Hill Hawks play the curtain raiser to the AFL match against the Giants at Giants Stadium on Sunday morning. This game has the potential to shape the eight for both teams, with the Giants looking to consolidate their position in the top eight, while the Hawks missed out on an opportunity to put pressure on the top four by losing to Footscray last weekend. The Giants have lost four of their last five games and have been stewing over their most recent loss (by 56 points to the Suns) over a bye last weekend. The Giants' only win in the last five games came against North Melbourne, by 40 points at Giants Stadium, but prior to that, they were beaten by 53 points by Werribee at Giants Stadium back in May.

Footscray put the score on the board early against the Hawks last weekend, leading by 30 points at quarter time, then by 49 points at half time. The Hawks stemmed the bleeding after half-time, but could only manage six goals for the game. They will be keen to bounce back.

Teams to come.

Pretty sure Morris is the sub.

Callow starting back. Interesting

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

Getting smashed in the middle

 

[moginie]

Geez, another poor start.

 

[westhawk]

Is DGB playing. Haven’t seen him yet.

 

[VandoHawk]

Some perplexing work from Beasley has led to 3 opposition goals.

It’s also extremely frustrating watching Ward & Maginess start on the wings while we’re getting destroyed out of the middle

 

[Lotus]

Finally a goal by Parson.

Is it just me or Ned Long and Josh Ward looks similar?

 

[grumbleguts]

going to be that kind of day. tussel in the centre, pile of players on top of it, no way to tell who had the ball, so GWS free kick.

 

[grumbleguts]

haha! GWS must look a lot like the bulldogs today in the umpires' glasses.

 

[MJA33]

Carried on from last week, horrible disposal and beaten all over the ground.

just let a slow rolling ball go through his legs. got the free but if he'd picked it up he'd have been away.

 

[grumbleguts]

Anyone else think Cavarra kicked that "touched" ball? Some strange decisions this ganme. A few going Box Hill's way late.

 

[extractasam]

Gee I feel for O’Hara seems bereft of confidence at the level. Totally understandable though

I feel for Jeka. has not wanted to actually do anything. Is he still asleep? His opponent picks up the ball and jeka gives up before the opponent had even taken a step. He was willing to approach until he successfully picked up. And he just stopped.

 

[westhawk]

What has happened to this Box Hill team. They are awful. Don’t even look interested.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Finn in the guts please

 

[MJA33]

What has happened to this Box Hill team. They are awful. Don’t even look interested.

Yup, no chasing. 3 steps behind opponents. Kick it straight back to them every time we get it. Smashed in clearance and around the ball and backs getting dominated by GWS forwards. Horrible

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

What a mark.

 

[MJA33]

What a mark.

Finally a highlight
