VFLW - practice match vs Box Hill @ The Hangar, 1pm Sat 11 March 2023

Courtney tackled without ball. Ump says, in fact, that happened to Box Hill.

It finally grants them a goal for this quarter.

18-33, two minutes left till we get the wind.

Centre free for I don’t kind why. And another inside fifty.

18-34, rushed.

They certainly don’t pay protected area today. Was comical interference.

Crook contested mark on the last line with seconds left.

3.0.18 we trail 5.5.35

That both reflects Hawk dominance for two quarters but also how well we’ve held on. I can see this team kicking 100 vs weak teams.

Who’s 26, 27, and 31?

EDIT: der, i knew who 27 was, lots of Sargent mentions immediately before this comment.

Me many, many years ago.

Spargo smashed near point post.

Nope.

She gets up, roves the stoppage, and snaps it through on the angle!

24-35

Pressure on the wing by lilybateman gets us the ball back.

Davidge and Mia fight fight fight, and Mia curls it through from forty!

30-35 after 6 minutes.

Interesting free keeps it forward for them, but their shot on goal is rebuffed.
