Unfortunately for Hawthorn supporting Box Hill fans, this game clashes with the Hawthorn v Bulldogs game. A must win game for Box Hill this week for finals aspirations and regain some confidence after a horrid loss last week.

Port Melbourne are currently undefeated for the season and the Box Hill Hawks shall be hungry for a big upset.

This is also an early game for the TV.

[CrowdedHouse]

Ahem....


GO BOX HILL HAWKS!!!
(edited for accuracy) :D




C'mon guys, I had to ;) So did I;)

I wonder if Coach DC was happy with me in the social rooms after the game, when I was wearing the Port Melbourne scarf :eek:

[rdhopkins2]

What shade of red do you like your cards, Crowded House? :D

Seriously though, a big thanks to you and the 3WBC team for your support of Box Hill and committment to our VFL coverage this year. It's been terrific and well appreciated and we look forward to it continuing next year.

[halfback dasher]

Massive game in so many ways . A final , even just one , will help the Hawks boys no end , and if the mail is correct , Stratton getting a run would be great . Im split on where too go .....:confused:
Might do both infact .

[The BIG X]

All's OK -HBD- your a split personality anyway:)

[DannyJ]

If Stratton is playing for Box Hill we should all probably go see this game instead of the Bulldogs game.

Stratton is just that good. :) Get around him

Was thinking along these lines as well.

[Henry Jr]

What time would the Dev Squad game finish?

[Echols]

About 1pm.

Never judge a book by its cover "X".....;)

[Henry Jr]

About 1pm.

Hmmm, doesn't leave much drinking time :eek:

[The BIG X]

Reckon there is about 25 min break between games

[TheFourPillars]

I don't care if i am late to the hawks game i'm going to see the development game. He will only play a half i presume will leave plenty of time to make the game. Unless he does what renouf did and play the 2nd half :D

[Echols]

Reckon there is about 25 min break between games

Yeah, that's probably more like it. At worst we should be able to get to the G with a couple of minutes to spare.

[CrowdedHouse]

Does that red come with blue as well? ;)

Seriously, thanks to all on this forum for their support of the 3WBC call.

I can confirm, regardless of Saturday's result, we will be doing at least one final per week.

Also, there is 'talk' why *might* be doing 2 games a week next year (at least one Box Hill game per week, plus another match) - IF we get more sponsors (or a big sponsor)

[Buddy Guy]

Hmmm, doesn't leave much drinking time :eek:

It depends which way you look at it HJ.

Is the bar open for the DS games?

As far as maximising drinking time goes, it would work out perfectly if Stratts plays the first half of the early game.

Yeah, but as I was thinking today mate, what if they do a Twister and only play him in the second half! :eek:

Stratts in the Seniors? That's thrown a spanner in the day's schedule.

Not a bad backline. Stratton Bouman Langford

Ladson playing & Renouf into the Seniors.

[Rudi Gilham]

Ellis, Stratton, Renouf, Ladson are good ins as you say. Williams & Schneider return.

Interesting that Osborne has not been named for Box Hill despite being an emergency for the seniors. Read into that what you will.

No Wanganeen, Sierakowski, Morton, Pattison or Young.

I can' t think of one player out of that Port Melbourne side. It oozes talent across every line. We really need Geelong to beat Sandringham!

Wanga has a knee injury.

Young is a long way off, arguably the season is over.

Morton, well, ........ well, lasted 20 minutes last week, starting to act like Boo Dowler at the moment.

Ossie - reckon he is a certain starter at the MCG.

Great see see Stratts, I reckon he will play 70% game time.

Ellis, best of luck, needs to dominate.

[TheFourPillars]

hmmmm he's playing seniors won't have time to go down to port now dammit. Not that I'm complaining will he play against GC next week its a big call final home away match

[walhawk]

Has anyone done the sUms re us making finals.
I.e. If Sandy beat Geelong, how much can we afford to lose by and still make it.
Based on my prelim calcs the diff is around 85.
So, I'd Sandy win by 25, we have to lose by less than 60.

[Changa10]

Will try that again!

As outlined here - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=861714

The line is 94 points.

So if Sandy won by 6 goals, Box Hill cannot lose by greater than 10 goals (IE: a total of more than 94 points when you add up both).

'Technically' it could go the other way as well - say Sandy flogged Geelong by 100 points (unlikely), then Box Hill would have to win and do it by more than a goal!

FINAL SCORE

Geelong 19.10.124
Sandringham 18.12.120

Looks like we're in regardless of today's result.

[philohk]

Cats have come back from 118-88 down in the last to win 124-120. Finals-bound!

[WA Hawk]

Box Hill looking good, want it more at the moment - 21 BHH v 1 Port

Hopefully Stratts gets through well.

Got to love VAST so you can watch live from Perth

Cheers for the update, WA Hawk. Has Stratts got on the ground?

[WA Hawk]

Cheers for the update, WA Hawk. Has Stratts got on the ground?

Yeah playing in back line. Looking fairly thin but playing with no fear still charging in to contests.

Will make a early prediction that he will play against the GC Suns next week.

27 v 8

[MuzzHawk]

Our senior players are showing they are too good for this level as they should.
Renouf, Ellis, Ladson, Cheney and Johnson looking good. Schneider was amongst it early.

He has had a shocking injury run this year but we should retain Johnson on the rookie list. I think he has something about him that is worth persisting with.

Had most of the play so Lisle and Stratts haven't been in it too much.
Up by 14 at 1/4 time.

[Agent Smith]

From what I've seen so far of Stratts, it's like he hasn't missed a beat. Watch his one percenters. So cool, calm, collected down back.

With Lisle and Boumann down back with him and Renouf winning the ruck, no wonder we're in front. We're now running with purpose too, totally opposite of last week.

[buddylg]

More reports on Stratton please!

Each touch is worth a comment

[tommyk72]

And the score! Cant believe we're up!

[Agent Smith]

Williams and Ellis doing some nice things. Ellis definitely trying to put his hand up for senior selection.

Backline is very tight atm, not letting much thru, mainly thanks to pressure of midfield.

Langers has hurt his shoulder, and a dog act by an opposition player tested him out straight after it. I hope karma comes back to bite, and hard.

[WA Hawk]

And the score! Cant believe we're up!

31 v 17

[Agent Smith]

4-7 to 2-5 at half time, which is an interesting arm wrestle. Pretty good conditions, scores reflecting a high pressure and enjoyable game of footy. If we can keep our intensity in the second half, this could prove to be a remarkable win not many ppl would have penciled in, especially after last week.

[Agent Smith]

Not taking their opportunities, Hawks. Here comes Port.

[WA Hawk]

BHH 49 v Portb42

Hawthorn 44 v WB 21

[Agent Smith]

3/4 time: 8-7-55 to 7-8-50, Hawks just keeping their noses in front.

Quiet quarter by Stratts for those who are interested. He and Ellis gifted a couple of 50m penalties to help Port back into the game.

[TAITA]

X really needs to have a good hard look at himself - just a terrible brainfart of a quarter.

Like Gilchrist and Schneider's games, Suzie & PJ dominating, Gibson has been awesome.

All round effort has been great - now we need to go on with it for a real boost going into the finals.

[WA Hawk]

All tied up - one on bench starting to show

[TheWrench]

cant get 3wbc stream on my mac so have to listen to the biased rubbish from the abc commentators. every cross down to phil cleary has been something about his beloved borough!

[WA Hawk]

Down by 13 - time on in last

[WA Hawk]

7 points

[Echols]

Who is injured?

At the G now, so relying on updates.

[WA Hawk]

20 point loss - lack of rotations major impact in second half

[Agent Smith]

Full time: 14-11-95 to 11-9-75, Port's way.

Couldn't quite keep the intensity up in the second half. Lower bench rotations due to injuries didn't help, but the game just went for a quarter too long for us.

For Stratts followers, an incident in the last quarter summed it up when he took that 'dependable' mark in the last line of defense we're all used to seeing, but his clearing handball didn't quite hit its target, resulting in a turnover goal. Once he clears that bit of rust out, he'll be okay.

[WA Hawk]

Who is injured?

At the G now, so relying on updates.

Langford - shoulder taken to hospital
Grimley - ?
Third I think is one of the Fagan's

[TAITA]

Who is injured?

At the G now, so relying on updates.

Langford, Grimley & Fagan.

3 undisciplined 50m penalties really cost us the match as they all resulted in goals that shouldn't have.

Sadly they were to Stratts, X and Gibson which was disappointing.

[breuuust!!!]

any match reports?

[Pessimistic]

I see the umpires helped port to a 'perfect' season.

[Hodgepodge]

Schneider is fantastic, didn't use it well at times, but continues finding the ball and runs hard.

[dermott]

Good to see Lisle and Ellis amongst the best players. Together with Stratton they will add greatly to our depth in the finals.

[Baz_hawk]

Umpiring in that final quarter was horrible. Did us no favours withba depleted bench already effecting our chances. The umpiring was decent up until that last quarter so it was a disappointing end to a good contest. From what I saw Lisle was pretty good, took some solid grabs and his disposal was solid.

[Hodgepodge]

I'm excited about The Roof. I no longer think he'll be traded, and he seems to be working on becoming a goalkicker, which is what is needed to get a spot ahead of Hale.

[FriarTuck]

What a stunning turn around. X, Laddo and Suzie really set the tone of the game but the coaching staff must have some serious magic going on.

[Agent Smith]

The Roof is on fire!! :)

Plenty to like with finals approaching. Lots of guys putting their hands up and showing what they're capable of. Injuries stopped our impact against Port but the positives of the club as a whole are that we can mix it with anyone at AFL and VFL level.

I'm not overly greedy but I say lets win it all. At every level of competition. That way we can be accused of fluking three flags in the one year. :D

[go hawks!!!]

I watched the replay. Few points to note:

Riley Milne - For me, he has so much potential, showed promise in 2009 in his 1st year, played 2 games and impressed. Had a foot injury last year, and this year he has struggled. He is a 3 year rooke and his future will be determined later this year where we will either delist him or elevate him to the primary list.

For me, my opinion is that he is a downhill skier, his game yesterday showed this. His intensity is poor and is shown by his missed tackles and endeavour around the ball. He is still a toothpick and gets pushed off the ball too easily. Further, he is a utility, a jack of all trades and a master of none, he has not found a position that he has performed consistently at.

I wish Riley all the best, but have not seen much improvement this year.

Cheney - Did not have a great game yesterday and lacks pace, I don't see him as part of our finals capaign.

Ellis - showed class yesterday, like to see him get a game against GC next week and see if he can hold a spot. Trying to think who he is competing for a spot with, i'd say cameron bruce or savage. Savage did not perform well yesterday, and seems low on confidence.

P. Johnson - has returned well after a injury interrupted season where he has mastered the art of peeling oranges. For me, I would like to see him as a rookie again next year, as a back up and show leadership to lowden and grimley at box hill.

Stratts - Well we are all happy to see him back on the park. I'm sure he will be on the plane to Qld next week.

Laddo - Great depth player and will struggle to stay on the list imo. If there is a wet weather forecast for a final, will we see laddo play?

Renouf- Great use of the body up forward. Good to see him back!

Gee Gary Ayres is composed in delivering his message, very impressive.

Box Hill earned itself an away elimination final against Werribee at Avalon Airport Oval on Saturday, 3 September, at 2.10pm.

Haven't read anything about the development squad yet.

[scout]

Apparently the Dev squad earned themselves a week off for finishing top of the ladder.

A week's rest could be very handy, considering they lost two players in the third qtr.

Xav Murphy, Tommy's brother, was KO'd in a tackle. Seemed to recover ok, was walking around soon after, and even joined the 3/4 huddle.

More of a concern, defender Michael Thompson went off with a knee injury. He went home on crutches with an ice pack on his knee.

[The BIG X]

Actually heard Tommo say he was going straight to Hospital for scans - I am not aware of any update.

Development side have the week off as reward for finishing on top of the table.

Tough task for the Box Hill seniors... haven't won at Werribee in 20 years! :eek:

[J0NNY B]

Spent the afternoon at Port Melbourne, was amazed at how well Stratton was running and jumping into packs, thought he might have been a bit proppy, or holding back a little. Probably saved 3 or 4 goals throughout the game.

It was embarassing watching Ladson play for Box Hill and listening to the crap he gets from opposition supporters. He was a class above all day, doing a lot of the grunt work in the middle and IMO should be in the 22 and hopefully will be.

Riley Milne turned the ball over a lot, seemed to make the wrong decision in important passages of play that turned into Port goals.

Lisle was a solid player in defense all day, scratching head a little at why he is not getting senior experience.

Johnson is a beast of a ruckman, runs in straight lines and attacks the footy hard. Shame he has been injured this year.

Ellis seems to be working on match fitness, was bringing himself off a lot even though only one on bench. Played midfield all game and always does something smart (knock into space, quick handball etc. I hope he can get 100% fit and have an impact this year.

First time I saw Langford play, and agree with a lot of others in thinking he could be anything. Maybe needs to get some mongrel in him as was getting picked off a bit when he put his head over the ball, as apposed to him dishing out a bump and then collecting the footy. Was demanding the ball be kicked to him when he was playing forward and backed it up with some good aerial contests.

Big Cheney fan but he probably had an average day. Defense was under pressure most of the day, it appeared his direct opponent kicked a few goals, but Cheney was trying to cover multiple players most of the time. Big future with the hawks.

[The Convert]
