2018 VFL Rd 7: Northern Blues vs Box Hill Hawks

[crashlander]

This gives us a very interesting image of the game.

[1] Our rucks got a lot more taps, but Ceglar had more possessions than anyone else on the ground. Does this remind you somewhat of Kreuzer against Essendon? It does me.
I rate Ceglar. He was really important in Hawthorn's better periods and is quite underrated.

[2] Schoenmakers had 10 possessions (granted that 3 were goals), while Weitering had 10 marks (and 17 possessions). Which of these deserves to mentioned in the best players? Schoenmakers was.

[3] They had 4 of the top 5 possession winners. Tom Wilson was the only Blue to make that list, although Cuningham was 6th.

[4] We had 4 of the bottom 5 possession winners. And they were not necessarily our worst players.

[5] We were pounded in the midfield. Really pounded.
