Review Round 9, 2014 - Box Hill Hawks v North Ballarat Roosters, 7 June 2014, 2.00pm @ BHCO

[bumsonseats]

The thread for next weeks BH game isn't up yet, so have to post here.
I am coming to Melbourne next weekend and planning on getting to the BH game against Nth Ballarat.
Anyone else planning on going to the BH game next week. Wouldn't mind catching a few of the other BF guys there

The Box Hill Hawks will attempt to bounce back from their first loss of the season after the week off for the State game with a game at home to North Ballarat Roosters.

The Roosters sit half a game outside the top eight, with three wins so far this season, while the Hawks slipped to second, half a game behind the new ladder leader, Port Melbourne. Although the Hawks sit in second, a game and a half clear of Werribee, Williamstown and Collingwood, the Hawks can't afford to slip up again, especially enjoying the home ground advantage.

In the meantime, the development squad host Casey Scorpions at Box Hill City Oval from 10.30am.

As always, 3WBC FM will provide live coverage on the radio at 94.1FM for those in the eastern suburbs, online at www.3wbc.org.au and on your mobile or tablet using the TuneIn app.

Langford is emergency for Hawthorn though so might not get the chance to play for Box Hill as the games clash.

I'm keen to go to this game but as it clashes with the Hawks game (been going to most this year, really enjoying them), do you think they'll do score spoilers over the tannoy during the quarter time breaks?

Welcome BigRough. To answer your question, almost certainly.

I wanted to go too as I've been going regularly as well (and also enjoying it) but have decided I am going to watch Hawthorn, just know I will be totally distracted if Hawthorn are losing or it's close. Am less worried about Box Hill's chances, should win I think especially with Simpkin and maybe Hallahan or Langford back (although missing Lowden obviously!)

My philosophy is if there is a live game then i will go to that because a tv game can always be recorded and watched later.

That was my original plan but I have caved in and am going to watch Hawthorn

It may have been mentioned elsewhere, but how's Mitch O'Donnell travelling this season?

No fault of his but he has been squeezed out. Woody and Luke Andrews are better options so they get first go at the inside mid role. Even with all the injuries BHH midfield has stayed strong guys like Woody and Mitch have struggled to get decent game time and game opportunities.

Thanks for that. I hope he gets more opportunities in the second half of the season.

Shem on extended interchange for D squad. Hope he gets lots of game time, its the one thing he needs most.

Shem is playing & has 3 goals to his name before half time, Tom Gordon has 5 to his name.

Half Time in Development Game & its Box Hill 12.10.82 to Casey 3.3.21,

Apparently Shem roosted one from outside 50 & another was a result of a 'Don't argue' fend off!

 

[Procrastinator35]

3qtr Time Box Hill 18.12. 120 to Casey 4.4.28....Tom Gordon has 8 Goals, Shem has 4 & McEvoy 2.

Jeepers Eight goals is a good effort, albeit against a weak opposition by the looks of it. No doubt Tom Gordon will be back in the senior team soon (always seemed to play well whenever I have seen him play so a bit surprised he is playing in the Development team tbh).

Make That 9!....Just collided with Shem according to the Box Hill twitter feed & is struggling to stay on the field!

Thanks P35, that's great to hear! One thing guys like Shem and Kurt needs is confidence to take on the game. Learning the skills doesn't mean much if you can't mentally switch yourself into the match. Now that Shem's doing fend offs and roosting long bombs for goal, I think it's a sign he's ready for bigger and better things. Pls keep the updates coming!

Should be happy he's still conscious!

 

[Procrastinator35]

Their saying its a 'corky' for Gordon....Shem probably slightly miffed at Gordon 'stealing HIS thunder'!...Really unfortunate for Gordon, as he was a monty to kick 10.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Full Time in the Development game: Box Hill 22.16.148 defeated Casey 7.4.46 by 102 points....

Goals: Gordon 9, Tatupu 4, McEvoy 2, Cassidy, Thompson, Franetic, O'Donnell, Wood, Northe, Exon

Best: Gordon, Wood, Tobin, Thompson, O'Donnell, Tatupu.

For some reason they have McEvoy with 4 goals & Tatupu with 2....It's either a typo or the Box Hill twitter feed got their facts wrong!

 

[Roddy27]

"FT: The development boys started the day in fine fashion, with a 102-point belting of Casey. Tom Gordon was excellent kicking a bag, while Shem Tatupu played his best game for the club. Get down to Box Hill City Oval as the seniors take on North Ballarat from 2pm ‪#‎GoHawks‬"

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Box hill twitter feed just told a punter that Gordon is rookie listed to Hawthorn. Umm, no.
