The response was immediate and effective as our on ballers in Magner, Irving and Smith exerted a great deal more aggression around the packs. The defensive aspects of our game also reappeared as the Zebras did not allow Box Hill any space as Simpkin, Walsh, Peake, Fleming and Clarke repelled many attacks.
The increased work rate from all players stalled the Hawks scoring to only one goal, while also adding a goal against breeze. By the end of the third term we had worked our way back into the game.
The final term was easily our best as we simply fought hard to get the ball forward. We began to run and carry the ball as Smith, Heyne, Lynch, Waller, Ledger, Michaeliades, and Crocker provided better delivery to our key forwards. They were able to really assert themselves and kick 6 goals. The untimely loss of Andrews and Johnson in the final term did not help. We continued to create opposition turnovers and reduced their lead significantly.
With only minutes remaining Tom Lynch took a most courageous mark running with the flight of the ball which saw him collide with a Box Hill player and the game had to be stopped as he was carried from the ground with the scores tied.
