Shai Bolton slices through the corridor, shoots of a handball to Shaun Mannagh, who spears the ball on to the chest of Mabior Chol. And the skipper makes no mistake.

Really concerned with brandon, has basically played in the guts the whole game. He just panic when he has the ball especially in congested situations, his panic handball are gifting box hill turnovers, I cant see Ellis being best 22.
Bolton has been very good basically playing midfield, looks natural in that position around the ground he has been excellent.
Think I have a new man crush on young Syd. Looks excellent at this level, composed, great skills. The footy seems to follow him,,,, at half back all game. Hopefully could develop into a very good small defender.
Chol is chol brilliant one minute. Then seems to look uninterested the next. Definitely has talent does he have the steel edged desire. To be an afl player??
Liking naishy development over summer, very courageous in the air. Good run and carry off half back will be a player.
Rcd, is so hard at it loves the contest, never shirks the issue straight ahead.
Ccj and Moore both been good neither of them get outmarked.

The Hawks have kicked 9 out of the last 10 goals out of interest. We've gone from leading 38-9 to trailing 44-65.
Apparently, a mixture of McRae giving the kids a go in the middle and us being non-competitive.

3QT: @BoxHillHawks slammed on 6 goals that quarter, and unfortunately we didn't trouble the scorers.
Sydney Stack looks strong down back.

We just struggled to get the ball in the second half of the game
They smashed us in the clearance and they had lose players all
Over the ground, we could not run with them and we couldn't
Match them physically,, we had no Ariel presence, and we had
No one who could crumb the ball.
Thinking back to last year and players who were not playing
For whatever reason some leaving some insured or rested
But we certainly lacked vfl players
Like miles,,,lloyd,, cellis, Hampson, wood, Ballard, Silvestre ,
Not sure where where the last 3 are

VFL Tigers overtaken by Hawks
Brenton Mann
AFL Media
Mar 9, 2019 3:08PM
Richmond welcomed 2018 premiers, Box Hill to the Swinburne Centre, for the VFL Tigers’ second practice match of 2019, with the Hawks eventually overtaking their hosts, 13.7 (85) to 10.3 (63).
The game couldn’t have started much better for the Tigers, as they pressured, harassed and surged the ball at will, with Callum Moore imperious up forward.
Moore, in his fourth year at Tigerland, patrolled the forward line with superiority and constantly asserted his dominance in the air.
He finished the quarter with two majors, as the Tigers slammed on the first four majors of the game, in a commanding 10-minute patch, which left Box Hill breathless.
Brandon Ellis looked confident in his new midfield role, with his running prowess and strength over the ball standing out, which was a shining example for his younger lieutenants.
Ellis worked tirelessly across the four quarters and was one of the Tigers’ best on the day.
Another who stood out in the first quarter, was dashing defender, Derek Eggmolesse-Smith.
Eggmolesse-Smith plays the game with a steady head, a piercing left boot, and constantly finds himself in the right spot at the right time to thwart opposition attacks.
He’s also confident and assured, be it in the air or at ground level, and looks set for a sparkling season in 2019.
The dynamic half-back sat out the second half courtesy of a planned rotation.
The second quarter started much like the first, with the Tigers stripping the Hawks of the ball, and marching it forward.
Young bull Charlie Thompson’s set-shot from an acute angle drifted across the face of goal and Callum Coleman-Jones rose above the pack to take the mark in characteristic fashion.
Coleman-Jones coolly slotted his set-shot and Richmond scooted to a four-goal lead.
The goal seemed to spring the Hawks into action, as they went on a three-goal run, and closed in on the Tigers.
Box Hill enjoyed this patch of dominance, trapping the hosts in their defensive half and cashing in on Tiger turnovers.
The Hawks cut the margin to 10 points, before the Tigers steadied the ship.
Shai Bolton went on a slicing run through the corridor, shooting off the handball to Shaun Mannagh at centre half-forward, who speared the ball on to the chest of Mabior Chol.
The stand-in skipper sent his side into half-time with a 15-point via the set-shot goal.
The Tigers were brimming with youthful exuberance in the first half and were potent and efficient in attack, however Box Hill came out after the main break with a point to prove.
The Hawks climbed to the top of the mountain last year and they were intent on showcasing the reasons why.
They’re midfield took over the ascendency in the third quarter, led by premiership captain, Andrew Moore.
Led by Marc Pittonet’s rucking nous, the Hawks slammed on six goals in the third term, as the Tigers went scoreless.
Sydney Stack showcased his courage and dare on numerous occasions during the term, repeatedly put himself in harm’s way.
Stack is unflinching in his approach to the ball and man, with his defensive tenacity shining under the glary Autumn sun.
The Hawks turned a 15-point half-time deficit into a 22-point lead by three-quarter-time and caught the Tigers on the hop.
Richmond started the final term the better.
Tiger youngster Luke English swooped on a loose ball on attacking 50, weaved his way through traffic, shot out a handball, which deflected Shaun Mannagh’s way, who snapped truly.
The Hawks responded once more, slamming on three goals in quick succession to thwart any idea of a Tiger fightback.
However, this Richmond side kept pressing, fighting and scrapping until the final siren.
Riley Collier-Dawkins gave the Richmond faithful a glimpse at the future and highlighted why the Tigers swooped on him with pick 20 in the 2018 National Draft.
Standing 193cm, Collier-Dawkins used his size and power on several occasions, whether that be inside the contest or out in open space.
At one stage in the final term, he burst clear of congestion and scorched a ball to fellow 2018 draftee Jake Aarts on the lead inside 50, who slotted his second major.
Aarts’ first goal moments earlier was possibly the play of the day.
Patrick Naish found himself hemmed in on the boundary line, surrounded by Hawks, and instead of panicking, he calmly spread a squaring ball to Aarts, and the tenacious Tiger finished superbly.
Shai Bolton was another who stood-out in the final term, deployed as a midfielder, Bolton was quick and agile in both facets of the game and used the ball with class.
The Hawks may have prevailed by 22 points, but there was much to like about the Tiger cubs on display.

For those that went today, what was the main cause(s) for that dreadful 3rd quarter? And did anyone show some resistance against the tide?
Eggmolesse-Smith plays the game with a steady head, a piercing left boot, and constantly finds himself in the right spot at the right time to thwart opposition attacks.
He’s also confident and assured, be it in the air or at ground level, and looks set for a sparkling season in 2019.
The dynamic half-back sat out the second half courtesy of a planned rotation.
Seems DES left a massive hole after he was subbed off.

There were significant changes at half time which upset the balance
Shai Bolton who play inside onball for the first half played off the wing for the 3rd quarter
. Hawks got a run on and rest is history
Naish player on a wing in 2nd Half as well
Ben Miller was very ordinary ( that’s 2 weeks in a row )
Use of ball when going inside F50 in second half was very very ordinary , kicked to a contest way too often
Players were confused in transition as well
Terrible second half in many area
Ball use terrible
Ended up going home half way through last quarter

A player in the VFL program who didn't play today texted me he thought Stack and RCD were our best today.
