ROUND 8 vs Hawks

VFLW - Round 8 vs Hawks @ Box Hill City Oval, 12noon Sat 13 May 2023

[image] In theory the winner could be top of the ladder, but it’s probably safe to say Geelong can scrape over the line vs Darebin… Excellent chance to pass Port (vs Sts) and maybe Pies (vs Norf).

@theDJR

It’s 1423 days since we last lost to the Hawks.

(not including practice matches)

No pressure.

LOL at Paige Scott jumping up during the warm-up stretches to bomb a goal from forty.

Naughty girl.

@theDJR

Wilson (“Willo”) comes off… and heads to the wrong bench.

0-2

@theDJR

We had three tackles at the 12 minute mark. “Not our brand” says Cloke.

@theDJR

The vast bulk of the ground will be dry for the second half.

The cricket pitch is… juicy.

@theDJR

Willo is embarrassed she ran to the wrong bench. Luckily no one documented that

@theDJR

GreatScott selling candy. Opponent grunts in frustration as she is conned. Everyone laughs.

4.3.27 we lead 1.5.11 at the final break.

Cloke usually leaves the huddle swearing for Courtney: “Farking foot on the throat—sorry to swear”

@theDJR

Willo bloodied nose, off.

She’ll come back to Nut Bush City Limits Box Hill City Oval come the finals, and cop a worse blow.

@theDJR

Hawks 1.9.15

Same score as 2019 in the awful wet here.

We win with 5.2.32

(7-10 scores looks bad, but we always looked more dangerous.)

This is five wins in a row, and for a moment we are top of the ladder.

Manfre kicks 2 goals in a game for the first time with us.

@theDJR

Marshall 14 disposals and 6 marks
Boyd 7 and 2, and zero score

Good work, Dani!

@theDJR

Scoring accuracy this year by the two teams is nuts: Hawks have saved their worst for us, and we’ve saved our best for them.

Games	EFC	BHH
Against each other	9.5	4.18
Against other teams	18.41	31.38
TOTAL	27.46	35.56

18.41 by us vs other teams, holy ■■■■

Hurrell gets her first win with us.

@theDJR

Dani didn’t get the joke.
