Review Round 9, 2019: Box Hill Hawks v Williamstown Seagulls, 1 June 2019, 2.00pm @ BHCO

[Dixie Flatline]

After a disappointing loss to the Magpies last weekend that dropped the Hawks outside the top eight for the first time this season, the Hawks are back on home territory to host the Seagulls in what shapes to be an important opportunity for the Hawks to get their season back on track. But it will not be easy for the Hawks against the Seagulls, who are one of four times sitting on five wins and are outside the top four only on percentage.

A win for the Hawks over the Seagulls, together with other results going Box Hill's way, could see the Hawks back up into sixth place, while a loss could drop the Hawks down another spot, depending if the Cats (who sit half a game behind the Hawks) can beat Footscray on Sunday.

While the Hawks suffered a second half fade-out against the Magpies last weekend, the Seagulls came from 18 points down at quarter time to overrun the Northern Blues by 11 points at the final siren after keeping the Blues goalless in the third quarter. Max King has been in good form for the Seagulls over the last few weeks, with the St Kilda draftee having kicked seven goals in three games (including four goals against Essendon the week before last) in the VFL, while David Armitage was a prime mover in the Seagulls midfield with 29 disposals and five marks.

Teams to follow.

[TheFourPillars]

No CJ interesting

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

A Saturday afternoon game, yay! Planning to go to this one.

Hmm, still no Schoey

 

[savagelunchbox]

Meese is going to be a worry...

 

[Rudi Gilham]

Meese is going to be a worry...

Huge test for big Ned Reeves.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Meese just blocks u in the ruck its very subtle and sometimes blatant. A real task for an inexperienced ruck

 

[tommyk72]

Nash injured?

 

[Pessimistic]

If brand is in Brisbane, just leaves roughy as the lone tall eek

 

[VandoHawk]

Dylan Moore takes a great contested mark and kicks our second. Skills have been pretty poor overall for both sides.

BH: 2.1. 13
Williamstown: 1.1. 7

 

[VandoHawk]

Teia Miles kicks his second with a really nice set shot 45 metres out.

B: 3.1. 19
Willy: 1.1. 7

 

[tommyk72]

Thanks for the updates!

 

[VandoHawk]

We've been fairly inaccurate this quarter. Getting good opportunities but the set shots always seem to fade. Defence has been good as Willy have actually had the same amount of inside 50s. Miles playing forward and kicked two goals, Moore very involved. Roughy playing ruck/forward. Meadows our most impactful mid but has been butchering the ball.

BH: 3.5. 23
Willy: 1.1. 7

 

[grumbleguts]

Box Hill 3.6-24 - Williamstown 2.1-13

 

[VandoHawk]

Willy kick the first two of the quarter.

BH: 3.6. 24
Willy: 3.1. 19

 

[VandoHawk]

We finally kick a miraculous goal through Ross after a long and scrappy period of nothing.

BH: 4.6. 30
Willy: 3.2. 20

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Just got here, had to make an unexpected trip to the vets with my cat!

Half time, Box Hill 30 Willy 33 I think (they’ve taken the scores off the scoreboard ).

GO STANGERS!!!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Goal to Ross

BH 38 Willy 33

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Goal to Willy from a free in the goal square

 

[KermitJagger]

Hawks being wasteful

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Goal to Aducci!!!

BH 44 Willy 39

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Bit of a scuffle and Ross has just about had his jumper ripped off!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Goal to BH!!! Maloney I think.
