Zebras vs Hawks TBBO prac match

[Gwilt Edged]

Started about 5 mins ago

Ferg and Dowler in defence, Sikora rucking.

No goals yet, will provide updates if the rain stays away

[Gwilt Edged]

First goal to Zebs

Nice save in defence by Andreoli, kicked across the square to Crocker. Looked for Curren up the wing but couldn't get it to him

Another mark in defence by Andreoli. Doing some good mop up work and finding his targets around the ground

[Gwilt Edged]

Ferguson kicks up the flank and finds #70 on a lead. Not on the team sheet but might be Markworth

Set shot from the boundary, 45 out, goes straight through. Zebs 2.3 15 to Hawks 0.1 1

[Gwilt Edged]

Two more goals, the last to Michaelides. Hawks still with no major

Just spotted Markworth in 29 so no idea who 70 is

One more. Qtr time 5.4 34 - 0.1 1

[Gwilt Edged]

Two more goals, one a set shot from 50 for Cockie

Hawks were winning the ball for the first 15 but couldn't make it pay, the Zebs have been all over them ever since. Some solid defence work from what I could see

[Gwilt Edged]

#70 is Staley. Hawks starting to find themselves, 2 goals in 3 minutes

#70 is Staley. Hawks starting to find themselves, 2 goals in 3 minutes

Thanks for the updates. Staley is a MASSIVE kick.

[Gwilt Edged]

Set shot for Dunell, 45 out, slight angle, through for a goal

Another goal while I was busy typing. Didn't catch who

10.8 68 - 2.3 15. Gotta be close to half time.

[Spinner]

Great updates!

[AccidentallyTim]

Great updates, cheers

[Gwilt Edged]

Second half started. Curren has swapped jumpers, is now wearing 40. He's been busy in the middle

Minchington's wearing 68 instead of 28

Hawks on the attack, some good defending sees the ball go back up the other end

Ball up. Broc Macauley for the Hawks is a giant, killing the Zebs in the ruck

Crocker's kicking has been a bit ordinary, good aim but either too short or too long

[Gwilt Edged]

Archer head clash going for a mark. Looked nasty but he got up and jogged off

Another goal to Zebs but scoring has otherwise dried up. Solid contested game from both sides

Really like Ferguson's game. Sure hands, clean disposal, smart around the contests

Three qtr time. 11.13 79 - 2.4 16

[Gwilt Edged]

Final qtr. Early turnover in defence costly for the Hawks, goal to #55

Out of the middle and up to Staley for another

Zebs winning the midfield battle. Great tackle by Minchington, Hallahan collects it, plays on and goals

[saintbrat]

Go sandy, good to read curren and minchington doing well

[Gwilt Edged]

Skills are getting sloppy now. Scoring has slowed. Two to the Hawks, 15.14 104 - 4.5 29

[Gwilt Edged]

Calm kick under pressure by Minchington inside 50, mark and goal by Stapleton

Almost a carbon copy two minutes later, but ball slips off the boot. Some good second efforts from him lead to another goal

Final siren. 18.15 123 - 4.6 30

Yep. Happened right in front of the scoreboard. Nothing in it. Both players collided while sliding for the ball. I thought the Box Hill player came off second best when it happened

[gringo]

That's a shame I like big Darch.

[Con Gorozidis]

Thanks for the updates guys. Much appreciated.
Big blow for big Arch. A real shame. Hope he is ok.
Looks like big Ferg and Staley might be ok?

Ferg gets lots of love on here and should be a player, Staley was highly rated by some before he got to us and hopefully is a steal. I like some of the guys Pelchen and what ever our real recruiters name is Elshaugh? I have a good feeling about Lever and Newnes as well- they don't get talked up yet but both seem highly rated before coming our way. An old guy in Tassie told me to watch Jimmy Webster and says he will be something special too -looks shy though). All in all we seem to have rebuilt our bottom end list from a fairly average looking group.
