How good can this group be this year?

Lindsay is playing well, composure, and with King creating a very high defensive line our backs become goal kickers.

salem, lindsay, and tholstrup all kicked goals today

makes the world of difference

final game stats...

IN: rivers, kentfield
OUT: laurie, mcdonald

i love plugger mac, but we need a tall forward / ruck and petty needs to settle as the #1 tall back

need to start the game hot for a change, and pip any peptide bubble early

Ben Long/Gulbin/Lombard aren’t exactly a line up of all star small forwards.

Eh?

Long is one of the best in the game with 40 goals last season - crucial to their side

Other two are very impressive too

Howes was very good today I thought

6 Gawn

5 Steele

4 Koz Pickett

3 sparrow

2 Lever

1 Salem

Echo all the praise for max the younger

Nice to have four talls to think about for next week

Good to see Mathews in the middle. Not getting a heap of it, but doing a lot of the grunt.

Brilliant defensive pressure

casey up by 1 point at 3/4 time

14.6.90
14.5.89

bonner, heath, jefferson, and sinnema in that term in particular taking over a mid role from henderson the best of the dees

el jefe, aj, and kentfield with 3 goals apiece; jefferson could have had 5 or 6 if he had his kicking boots on

mentha very quiet, but taylor definitely worked his way into the game - taken some nice grabs reading the play

the same can't be said for adams, who has been appalling

adams has zero awareness and is very slow

chris lamb 2.0

adams is having a shocker; completely gave up on the defensive chase just then

sinnema gone box office since going on ball

Free kick downfield to Kentfield and it's now four points in favour of Box Hill.

oh is that what it was for, i couldn't work it out (turned commentary off)

free kick to luker i50 for interference in the marking contest (he dropped the mark, i thought)

perfect kick for his 3rd and all of a sudden it's only 4 the diff

delightful pass from aj to laplanche sees him kick his first and it's back to 10 the diff

we're hanging in there really well, about 17 mins into the 3rd quarter, 12.6.78 to 14.4.88

triple prong forward 50 of el jefe, aj, and luker is working, with the middle of those nailing a set shot

if we had any semblance of a midfield other than heath we'd be okay

back to 16 behind now

half time stats for the dees:

adams is a very ordinary player

Just now, Dingo said:

I am watching but Kentfield hasn’t been mentioning

2 kicks, 2 goals

taylor has taken a couple of nice marks floating back to intercept

3 prong forward line working

poor set shots costing jefferson from having a big game

great turnaround by casey

el jefe and luker combining beautifully

lovely dribbler goal el jefe

this is exactly what we wanted to see from him

el jefe really attacking the ball in the air - great to see

el jefe - 4 aerial contests, 2 contested marks and 1 free for (all resulted in i50 set shots), 1 goals 2 (i think? only credited with 1 on the stats), and 1 goal assist to aj

max the younger - looks like a blonde max the elder; dominating in taps and floating back to take contested defensive marks

we are getting smashed in the midfield
