SHEM Tatupu has continued his form in front of goal for Box Hill Hawks since making his senior VFL debut three weeks ago.
The rookie-listed New Zealander kicked a bag of six goals against Port Melbourne in the development league in Round 11, earning him a senior call-up.
Tatupu has made the most of that opportunity with eight goals in five games.
He kicked four goals in the Hawks’ 100-point win against Coburg on Sunday, following on from two-goal efforts against Frankston and North Ballarat.
“He doesn’t miss too often,” Box Hill Hawks Coach Marco Bello said.
“He only had six touches and kicked four straight this week, he would have had similar numbers last week – four touches and two goals.
“He doesn’t have to get a lot of it – he makes the most of it when he does, especially when he’s up forward.”
Bello said the Hawks’ teamwork up forward was pleasing to see against the Lions.
“The forward six worked together to create a lot of movement and it was really pleasing for those guys to get a bit of the footy, kick some goals and be a little bit selfless as well, giving off some goals,” he said.
Tatupu has now kicked 21 goals in his 10 matches at VFL senior and development level in 2015.
