Review Round 5, 2019: Box Hill Hawks v Footscray Bulldogs, 12 May 2019, 11.50am @ MCG

[Easy Slips Catch]

Good game of footy! Given we had Rough we should have won fairly easily.

CJ is getting close. Looks good when he backs himself in. Dont mind the way Greaves is coming along. Nothing dramatic just a solid contributor.

Disappointed in Golds' game. Was relatively free-flowing and he only got into the game in the last when it slowed down.
Pitt has gotta start taking marks. He can clunk em, just does not do it enough.
Liked the look of Kosi as a forward, but we need him down back.

Had hoped the Minch would show more.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Minch has missed a lot of footy.

Did Minchington play out the game? Didn't see him in the last qtr, and he only finished with 5 disposals.

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Good to see Ollie at so many stoppages. When he bursts and takes time over the footy, he looks more than handy. He's inconsistent but his top end is there.

Agree with the comments re greaves - looked pretty solid as a first year player. And a good size (especially for a rookie). A potential long-term replacement for Hardwick in the BP (releasing Hardwick up the ground).

When we drafted him, I saw Greaves as long term replacement for Stratts.
Looked like he played tall in his draft videos.
Others that have seen him live may be able to shed some more light

i noticed him watching the play a bit, but its his first game back, hopefully as the weeks go by he can improve.

Cheers mate - actually he played the week before and seemed more involved. I was worried he'd redone the hammy or something. But the coaches report said they were managing his game time, so hopefully he builds from here.

Yeah he is good to go for another game this week

Tom Boyd's last game as a professional footballer was as a ruckman for the Footscray Bulldogs against the Box Hill Hawks. Good luck to him in his retirement.
