Box Hill / Hawthorn practice game March 12
For the first 3/5ths of the match it was 'Hawthorn + Gooch' versus Box Hill (before the Box Hill seconds players took over).
At the 2/5ths stage I had 'Hawthorn' about 4 or 5 goals up, but 6 goals in a row to 'Box Hill' in the 3rd fifth evened up the scores, which begs the obvious question; are the Box Hill players currently fitter than Hawthorn's?
Most impressive for Box Hill was young gun Tim Harvey. Harvey was on fire in the 3rd fifth, booting at least 3 goals and beating Hawk rookie Josh Thurgood in the process.
Overall a positive game for Box Hill, a disappointing one for Hawthorn (Boyle, Sewell and Kane excepted).
