Box Hill       2.5    6.7    10.9-69

Goals: Cumberland 5, Bradtke, Nyuon, Clarke


Not going to win unless we start hardening up in the contests to win the ball as well as to tackle properly  . Times in that quarter our structure and gameplan completely fell away. Lucky to be still close enough on the scoreboard.

At both levels, whoever our new coach is needs to re-teach our players to be front and square at contests  .

Hugo kicks inside 50 to Cumberland who is out-numbers 1-vs-3. He does well to bring it down but no one is front and square and
BH rebound easily off HB for the first goal of the last .

56 - 75

[one-eyed]

We go forward. Hicks to Biggie on the goal-line. For some reason gives off to Green  who gets the goal back  .

Rich   9.8-62
BH   11.9-75

That's why we stuff up. Trezise had to go to Brown who was free not longer to little Yassine and cause the turnover.


BH get another free and goal.

62 - 82

[one-eyed]

We get the goal back via Cumberland paddling away from goal and hooking around his body for his 6th  .

Rich  10.8-68
BH    12.10-82

Geez we have some thick players .

[one-eyed]

Get in bloody front Bradtke or get off.

[one-eyed]

That's HTB! BH player spun out of the first tackle and then got tackled again  .

[one-eyed]

BH deliberate. Gets to Brindley in the pocket. Shot floats through = Goal!

Lost by 3.

Only got ourselves to blame.

[Tiger Khosh]

Good of them to get back into it but after getting to within a kick, let the hawks kill too much time chipping it around before they finally manned up.
