Head of Development and Learning Damian Carroll provides an update on the AFL-listed players that represented Sandringham against Box Hill on Sunday.

VFL MATCH CENTRE: Round 15 v Box Hill

HAWKS 3.7 4.9 7.14 14.16 (100)
ZEBRAS 1.3 4.4 5.6 8.8 (56)

Max Heath

21 disposals, 25 hitouts, five inside 50s, one goal

A really strong game from Max in the ruck, 13 of his 25 possessions were contested alongside 25 hit outs and five clearances himself. He took some strong marks around the ground including two inside 50. It was great to see him hit the scoreboard with a goal as well.

Hugh Boxshall

19 disposals, nine tackles, six clearances, two goals

Once again showed his toughness around the ball with 15 contested possessions. We really liked the way he worked in close with our other mids and rucks. He's been doing a lot of work on his goal kicking and finishing so positive to see him hit the scoreboard with two goals.

Jack Carroll

25 disposals, eight marks, five inside 50s

We saw Jack work really hard back in that wing role at VFL level this week with 25 possessions. It's a role that he's only just moved into so it's exciting to see his development in that space.

Ryan Byrnes

27 disposals, six marks, six intercepts

Ryan showed really strong leadership back at VFL level this week, getting a lot of the ball with 27 possessions. It was impressive to see him bring his AFL level run to the VFL.

Paddy Dow

23 disposals, seven clearances, five tackles

Paddy competed very strongly again in tight around the ball. He won 14 contested possessions out of his 23, playing 95 minutes of game time which was great to see in his third game back. He was quite strong in his clearance work which was another positive. 

Zak Jones

26 disposals, eight inside 50s, four score involvements

Zak brought a lot of guidance to the younger listed players again this week, he's been crucial at helping the side perform better the last few weeks.

Tobie Travaglia

18 disposals, five marks, four intercepts

Tobie has been working hard on developing his role across half-back in our system. The weekend was another great opportunity for him to gain exposure against an experienced VFL side which will carry him well into the future in this role.

Alex Dodson

12 disposals, nine hitouts, one goal

Alex played about 10 minutes of ruck each quarter and the rest of his time spent forward. He was able to hit the scoreboard and had some strong moments as we continue to work on his ability to impact the contest down the line.

Angus McLennan

12 disposals, six marks, five intercepts

A really strong game from Angus this week, executing his role against a taller opponent in Calsher Dear. He was able to cause a few intercepts, taking two marks off the opposition. Additionally, he showed strong improvement in his ball use which was another positive on the weekend.

James Barrat

11 disposals, six marks

James bounced back from a tough game against Williamstown last week, competing strongly in the air as well as showing improved ball use in attack.

Arie Schoenmaker

11 disposals, six marks, three inside 50s

Arie played a combination of midfield and wing as we look to expose him to different roles throughout the remainder of the year. Another player who benefitted from the experience of playing on a talented group of Box Hill wingmen and midfielders.

Harry Boyd

Seven disposals, 18 hitouts

Harry played a combination of ruck and forward where we saw some good moments in both positions. He continued to compete strongly against the opposition all day, his GPS numbers showing he ran hard with great effort as well.

Liam O'Connell

11 disposals, five intercepts

Liam performed strongly in his role on Luke Breust nullifying his influence throughout the game. A competitive game from Liam who was another player to gain strong lessons playing against an experienced AFL player. 

Lance Collard

Five disposals, one goal

A quiet day for Lance, but we were rapt to see him apply great pressure and capitalise to hit the scoreboard in the last quarter.
