News 2014-2015 off-season news thread

[Bonscott1980]

To respect the 'closed session' I'll keep it brief. For me the old brigade Lewy, Suckers, Mitch, Gibbo, Hodgey, Lake, Gunner, Simpkin and Stratts stood out and Whitey looked very good in the second half. The new boys to show promise were JO'R who was good inside and outside, Frawley who read the play well and starved his opponents, Sicily [yet to debut] good hands, kicking and reading, Hardisty in and under and Howe clean, balanced and composed sweeping across half back. The only time I clapped was a spontaneous response to a Hardisty hands and knees extraction from two opponents followed by an amazing hand ball out and over the congestion which hit a running team mate just ahead of the pack goal side. Another highlight was Gunners marking.

I'm really looking forward to watching the progress of Hardisty and Howe at the BHH.

The kid is gunna be good,looking forward to watching hardisty play this year

I'll be keeping an eye on Agape Patolo for his name, if nothing else.

 

[Rudi Gilham]

James Handley. Any relation to Robert "Chopper" Handley by any chance?

Yep....Ryley Monkhorst, who turns 20 in a weeks time & stands all of 200cm tall & weighs in at 98Kgs already....A mere, chip off the old block!

Yes it is.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

To be honest, I'm not that excited about special comments from Campbell Brown.

Was Cust a last minute deletion?....He is still on the Box Hill website as a current player!

 

[houdinihuddo]

On 16th December I posted "Custy is in sweet love and undecided on making the commitment required to play in the VFL." Likely/Possibly when the web site was last updated with the definite departures Sam was still to make a firm decision.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Box Hill Development Side went down to the Northern Blues by 5 points....5.3.33 to 5.8.38
