Round 15 Under 19’s Match Report: Boronia v FTG

Posted on by

This week, we played Ferntree Gully who haven’t recorded as many wins as they probably would have liked.  Either way, our team was out for redemption from our previous week’s loss.

The game started strong with a couple of fluent clearances and shots on goal.  We emphasised the need to find our key forwards and looked dangerous when we did, especially with Bakes powering out of the forward line.  Our mids got on top early with Jake, Harry, Trent and Hoff finding plenty of it.  After being freed up from Saturday detention, Benny Anderson had a big role to play in the ruck all day, coming up against two taller players.  He immediately made an impact around the ground with various intercept marks.  Although we got a little lazy with our entries and subsequently kicked a few too many behinds, our impact on the game was significant at quarter time.  

Ferntree Gully had the wind in the second and they managed to get some score on the board.  Our backmen were keeping tight though and some excellent rebounding from Brody, Will, Sturds, Dos and Lee allowed us to move the ball into the wind with effective run and carry.  Some quick switching to our runners, such as Cambo, Ryan and Johnny allowed our entries to improve. The half time break came around with a promising lead, although we weren’t completely.satisfied that we’d found our best footy yet.

The third quarter provided a few players with new opportunities, such as Milky moving into the middle.  His work around the contest was sensational, particularly with selfless acts to support his teammates.  The likes of Lukey Slater, Connor, Tuna and Jacko started to really impact the game, as did Under 17 fill ins, Kyle Schmidtke and Heath Rouse.  Despite Ferntree Gully remaining strong, we opened up the gap to a healthy lead at 3 quarter time.

 

The fourth quarter saw some gutsy efforts and a bit of physicality.  We remained disciplined though and moved the ball well.  Ferntree Gully added a few more goals to their tally, but we ensured that we balanced it out with a few of our own.  A very satisfying win and a basis for our next couple of weeks.

Seniors Match Report for Round 15: Boronia v FTG

Posted on by

We hosted Ferntree Gully Eagles Football Club on Saturday, who 12 months ago gave the Hawker a football lesson on our home deck for the first 3 quarters until the Hawker over ran them in the last.  With finals like weather, could the Hawker build on last week’s form?

Great conditions greeted the players at the start of the first quarter.  The Hawker were first out of the blocks with Buzz kicking 3 goals in the first 15 minutes.  Zac Robbo added another with a talented kick over his head while on the ground.  Big Robbo and Josh Hannon added to the Hawker total.  We had good players all over the ground, with consistent ball movement while kicking with a slight breeze.  The backline, in conjunction with the midfield, kept the Eagles to one goal kicked on the quarter time siren.  The Hawker took a handy 34 point lead into the 1stbreak.

The second quarter was much like the first with the Hawker putting strong forward pressure on the Eagles backline.  This was enforced at the 7 minute mark by young Chinny’s chase and tackle having an Eagles player caught holding the ball in the scoreboard end forward pocket.  The resulting free kick put through for a skilful goal to reward Chinny for the fantastic run and pressure.  Zac Robbo kicked another 2 goals and The Lake Show ran down from full back not just once but twice to mark and kick truly to add to the Eagles woes.  The quarter was finished off by a late goal to Josh Hannon for his second of the day to give the Hawker a 64 point lead over the Eagles at the main break.

Into the 3rd quarter and the question was: will the Hawker relax or will they keep the pressure on the Eagles?  It wasn’t long until we found out as Buzz slotted his fourth for the day 90 seconds into the 3rd, followed by Josh Hannon who kicked his 3rdgoal.  Big Robbo and Hendo chimed in for goals to extend the Hawkers’ lead to 91 points.  The Hawker had winners in every position and transitioned the ball between the arcs with skill and team work.

At the start of the last quarter the Hawker were down a few numbers on the bench with a couple of players rested.  It would be a gruelling last 25 minutes for a couple of players who would have to run out the quarter without a rotation.  The Eagles came out hard and were showing strong commitment at the contest but the Hawker were up to the challenge to control the last quarter.  Full credit to the Eagles who out scored the Hawker in the last but the damage was done and the Hawker ran out victors by 78 points.

Five Points

  • Finals weather and team footy on display.
  • Ruthers did not miss a beat on Saturday after missing most of the season.
  • 3 strong consistent quarters of footy.
  • Greyhounds Chin and Phillips very impressive.
  • The Buzz (nothing else to say).

Seniors Match Report: Boronia v Heathmont

Posted on by

The Hawker Shopping Early.

We expected a hard, close contest against the Heathmont Jets Football Club for our round 14 clash on their home ground and that’s what we received.

Those who witnessed the Hawkers’ 1st quarter against the Jets would agree that this was 30 minutes of fast, quality, disciplined team footy from the Hawker.  From the opening bounce we were hard at the ball, clean with our hands and precise with our foot skills. The Hawker excited their supporter base as they ran in waves, tackled, smothered and took strong contested marks against an opposition who seemed shell shocked and could not match the pace of the Hawker.

A great team effort with the backline holding the opposition to a solitary behind while the Hawker kicked 6 goals 6 to take a 41-point lead into quarter time.

The Hawker knew that the Jets would not lie down.  They were playing on their home deck, a large home crowd, hosting a past players day and kicking to the downhill scoring end.  The quarter started ok for the Hawker as we matched the Jets’ early goals to keep up the scoreboard pressure.  At the 10 minutes mark you could see the Jets building their spread and running game off the backline and across the centre.  Their quality players started to get their hands on the ball and distributed with confidence and accuracy.  The Jets outscored The Hawker 6 goals 3 to 3 goals to reduce the Hawkers’ lead to 20 points at the long break.

The expectation was that the Hawker would kick to the scoring end and put scoreboard pressure on the Jets.  This expectation would be further from the truth as the 3rd quarter was played in close, hard and contested with both sides missing important scoring opportunities.  Brayden Bowes put his brand on the game with a great quarter of footy.  Harry “Snake” Burgess controlled the Jets’ big forward and the midfield fed the forwards but neither side could not kick a major.  The Hawker added 5 behinds while the Jets added 6 behinds for the quarter giving the Hawker a 19-point lead going into the last.

Big crowds circled both huddles as we awaited the last quarter to start. Like the 3rd, the quarter started with both sides playing contested footy.  There was a buzz around the ground as the first goal for either side would have a big say in the outcome of the game.  First blood came at the 12-minute mark to the Hawker to put a 22-point gap on the Jets.  For the next 10 minutes the Hawker contributed a couple of undisciplined acts and this, combined with the Jets’ pressure, allowed the Jets to kick the next 3 goals.  We should highlight the fact that the Jets had a number of opportunities to take marks in their forward 50 in the last 2 minutes but some fantastic spoils and one on one wins in contests saw the Hawker take a 4-point win against a very good side.

Five Points

  • Always shop early (scoreboard pressure).
  • The Hawker puts a 3-game gap on the Jets after the win.
  • The 1st quarter gave us a glimpse of the future.
  • Josh Hannon marking, Godders run of half back and Damon’s work rate were a highlight in the 1st
  • Both sides will get players back to setup an exciting finish to the season.

Under 19’s Match Report: Boronia v Heathmont

Posted on by

The contest against second placed Heathmont was one that we knew was going to be a challenge, as we considered them to be one of the best teams we had played earlier in the season.  Going in slightly undermanned wasn’t ideal, but we managed to get a few on the interchange and we were satisfied that we’d done enough to prepare for the battle.  

We lost the toss and ended up kicking “uphill” in the first quarter.  Whilst our mids were getting their hands on the ball first, a lack of cleanliness allowed the strong Heathmont attack to lock in the first goal.  Despite a quick reply, Heathmont continued their attack throughout the first quarter and held a four goal lead at quarter time.  We also lost Cambo to appendicitis throughout the term.

The second quarter was far more promising.  Our backline tidied up, which was no doubt assisted by the move of Fletcher Duke to CHB.  Our movement became more fluent and our disposal improved.  Jake, Harry, Hoff, Trent, Ben and Muels controlled the middle and we gave our forwards plenty of scoring opportunities.  As usual, Bakes was working hard and was well supported through the likes of Brody and Tuna, who played his best game yet.  The deficit at half time was now slightly reduced, although Hammer heading off in an ambulance and Lee Fletcher’s game ending due to a blow to the head meant we were now down to one on the bench.

Despite the adversity and lack of scoring “uphill”, we came out of half time positive and some blokes really displayed what it means to be resilient.  We found run through Ryan, Jacko and Dos, who was taking the game on and driving our rebound off half back.  The Heathmont class remained strong though and the quarter ended up being one that predominantly broke even.  We knew the last quarter was going to be a huge task with only one player on the bench.  We had blokes cramping and others with body complaints, but we managed to stick it out.  Whilst we couldn’t close the gap, the boys played the remaining three quarters with a lot of heart, integrity and trust.  To only let the margin increase by about 1 goal after half time is a sensational effort and with that in mind, we build confidence as we head into the business end of the season. Go Hawka!

Development Squad Match Report: Boronia v Heathmont

Posted on by

With possibly the strongest team available for almost six weeks we headed to Heathmont looking to break our losing run.  The Heathmont sporting complex was full to overflowing with women’s footy in full swing we were forced to do our preparation in the great outdoors.  The mood was good and we felt confident as we had played four quarters the previous week and only missed by less than a kick.

The ball was thrown up and we scored a major within the first couple of minutes.  We looked “on” early, perhaps a bit premature in the confidence department.  The next ball up was cleared easily by our opponents and they goaled shortly after.  We held our proverbial breath and witnessed the best quarter of footy by any of our opponents this season.

At the quarter time break we asked for man on man footy in the second and to stem the tide.  We failed in several key positions to adhere to man on man and their loose players cut us to bits.  Although we stemmed the goals we could not dent their confidence and they used the ball by foot well, switching and marking at will.

The long break came quickly, we entered the rooms for some soul searching.  We were confident we could peg them back if we played our best footy.  The voice from the other side of the dividing roller door was heard to say “They will come and come hard, do not under estimate them.”  This made our opponents want the football even more.

We chased hard all day but never really got to where we wanted to go.  We played into their hands by panic kicks, turn overs and lack of wanting the contest.  This was not the style of play we played earlier in the season by a long shot.

Have we dropped the ball? Got ahead of ourselves? Become complacent?

I think not.  Our attendance at training has dropped and we look tired.  Our opposition have had a good look at us now, so we now have to do something different  to mix things up a little.  There are no EXCUSES to be had and if there was we wouldn’t use them.

We take on top of the ladder Ferntree Gully next week and a win is a must to stay in the hunt for finals football.  The future lays in our hands and ours alone.  Let’s work harder than ever on the track and change our results and play the footy we know we can.

HAWKS 

Good game tonight against Wantirna South Devils Reserve, we took the win 71-52.  It wasn’t our most consistent performance but we did have times of fantastic, positive play.  Once we settled into our own game we drove ahead to take a good lead.  Mandy Bell was good in defence, playing very tight in GK in the 2nd quarter but unfortunately had to come off with an ankle injury.  Ally Forrest jumped into GK and did a great job, taking heaps of interceptions; impressive effort for a mid court player, playing totally out of her usual position.  Talking defence, Amy Hazard totally smashed it in GD, this girl never stops working!

Carla Alexandra, who’s had a pretty terrible week and who played despite not feeling well, managed to play a full game in WD.  Great game Carla, you got your hand to lots of balls and great back up in defence.
Emily Barrie rescheduled her night to play (thanks Em) and had a ripper game in GA.  Emily and Julia have lots of playing experience together and you can see it on the court.  These two girls play very well together – 71 goals scored tonight!  Sharmini Philp had an excellent game in WA and the combination of Sharmini and Ellie Ingwersen in the mid court really improved our drives and feeding to the ring.

Only 3 more games till finals!!!   So far we’ve had some really great games and I’m looking forward to seeing you all bringing your best to finish the season and move into finals.

GOLD

Wow! What a win against Norwood.  We started strong and finished strong.  Once again our defenders (Janae and Inga) were tight, turning over many balls and rebounding missed shots.  Mid court (Ti, Stacey and Sarah) were always there to pass to and put pressure on when defending.  Our goalers (Jess, Casey and Chanelle) work so well together. Doesn’t matter what combination we have in goals.  A special mention to Chanelle this week, she played a different position every 1/4 and smashed it.  She is such an asset to our team!

BROWN

Another great game by all players this week.  We came out very strong and by half time the opposition only had only 5 goals.  We are now reaching the end of the season which means we are trialling finals combinations and working on refining our skills and teamwork.  Our improvement from the beginning of the season has been extremely obvious as we are showing on the court, scoreboard and ladder.  We have now moved up to 3rd position which is strong leading into finals.
This week we take on 4th who have been sitting in the top 2 all season until now.  It will be a tough game but a good eye opener to what we should expect in a few weeks in finals.
