With our 3 players arriving from the Under 9s starting on the bench, our Captains for the day, Hugh Hockley and Angus Lord kicked to what we thought was the scoring end. This proved to be a slight miscalculation and we were staring at a 2 goal deficit at quarter time. The next 3 quarters were exactly what we have been working towards, with the team working hard at each contest to win the ball and then clear to a teammate in a better position. Coaches medal winner Archer Hjorth was playing like a man possessed and competing at every contest, while our other medal winner, Caleb Sims snagged 2 goals to give us the lead which we never surrendered. The most pleasing aspect of the game was our never-say-die attitude after a poor start, to work hard, get ourselves back into the game, and ultimately taste the choccies. Even more pleasing was the offer to have a week off training refused by all players, sorry to all the Mums and Dads!! Thanks as always to all my parent helpers who make the job a pleasure. Go Hawks!!! ESPA Under 9 Brown Captains: Brendan, Charlie Coaches Award: Brendan, Kael, Kristian Tackle Master: Brodie A great afternoon for footy, we played Ormond at home at Lum. We’re getting used to the warm afternoon games, much better once the frost has burnt off the ground. After a big week on the training track with a focus on defensive pressure the Hawks came out fired up. We got a quick clearance out of the middle from Peyton that resulted in an early goal to Kael. The team were defending well with the backline being led by Jayden. William took a great defensive mark and then minutes later Sathil’s opponent took a mark and was trying to play on to his team mate, Sathil expertly manned the mark and wouldn’t let him past, and then was able to get a finger-tip to the kick to save a goal, well done Sathil. Kael was everywhere causing havoc up forward and the boys were using handball very well, Brodie fed a nice one out of a pack and Charlie rocketed a 10m handball forward to his team mate. The highlight of the day was a play where the ball was kicked into our forward line, the ball was picked up by an opposition defender. He was gang tackled by Zach, Brodie and Darcy, Zach got a quick kick forward to Darcy who had run on, he marked and saw Kristian alone in the goal square, he fired a pass to him and he turned around and drilled it. A great team goal from defensive pressure. Another great play later on where Denzel kicked a great pass to Matt who kicked perfectly to William who then handballed to Peyton resulting in another team goal to Cael. Kristian was everywhere in the second quarter, kicking his third just before half time. The second quarter was our best for the year, I counted 13 team tackles, a brilliant effort. Luca, Noah and Josh worked hard all day, tackling hard, keeping their head over the ball and Cael had a great game and was able to stop a certain goal by cleverly rushing it through. Darcy did some great defending today, he made several spoils, took a few marks and was able to use his long kicking to clear the ball from the backline. Lachie enjoyed his first game and in the last HAWKTALK ROUND 8 MATCH REPORTS quarter kept his head over the ball and earned a free, he went back and kicked a long ball to Charlie who was able to snap a nice goal. Brendan had his best game today, he made multiple spoils and tackles and got quite a few kicks. Brodie had an amazing game, he made 8 tackles and had a heap of kicks, he really threw himself in and was the inaugural winner of the Tackle Master award. A fantastic team game from the boys, great to hear them belt out the song at the end as well! A big thank you to Peyton, William and Denzel from the under 9 Golds for filling in for us today. Go Hawks! Under 9 Gold Coach: Kristian Dow Medal Winners: Milan Grancaric & Jake Hall On Sunday the Under 9 Golds took on Bentleigh Jnrs at Bentleigh’s ground. Conditions were extremely cold – 4 degrees when we arrived for an 8:30 start. Christian was captain for the day and helped get the boys going early. There were some great plays early in the game, Logan tackling strong, Nate & Milan linking up well and moving the ball quickly and an early opportunity for Josh to kick his first goal after a good mark. In the 2nd qtr the boys continued to work on the things we’ve been practising, Harrison applied a great tackle, the handballing from Oliver and Peyton in the midfield bringing others into the game, William and Andrew supporting when the ball was there to be won. The qtr capped off by a great goal to Henry.
