    Mega Thread The Father-Son Mega thread - 2026 update

    Yeah, there's truth to that. Wittman effectively walked out of the club half way through the year (92). Was getting dudded by Joyce. But the rule of 50 games for f/s is the main point I was making.

    Mega Thread The Father-Son Mega thread - 2026 update

    I remember being ok with that trade at the time. Ando seemed to be on the slide and was on the fringe with selection in the end. I don't think Joyce thought he was tough enough. He certainly didn't do anything of note at St Kilda. Plus the rule back then was 50 games for father/son, so in...

    Review Round 2, 2026: Geelong v Box Hill Hawks, 27 March 2026, 7.05pm @ GMBHA Stadium

    That's true but it's unlikely to happen with the other talls all competing for space - McCabe, Schubert, McLaughlin (and Ramsden when he's not rucking). They're constantly rotating one or two off the ground and they wouldn't all train with Box Hill to work out patterns. Really not sure adding...

    McLaughlin looks like he'll be great for Box Hill. But I don't know if having him up front will be good for the development of Dear, McCabe and Schubert.

    Glad I'm not the only one who sees this. He's gotta be the most over-rated player in the VFL. Racks up a lot of oppo score involvements while keeping blokes like Blake Simondson and Lane Ward out of the side.

    Review Round 2, 2026: Geelong v Box Hill Hawks, 27 March 2026, 7.05pm @ GMBHA Stadium

    Personell is one thing. But this effort is embarrassing. Our pressure rating must be in single digits. They are walking through us time and again like we are Essendon. One of the worst Box Hill efforts I've seen. Game is gone but we'll need a 2nd half response just to show us who gives a stuff.

    Inside 50s are 13 each. Bit more accountability needed.

    His kicking can be a bit hit and miss but he looked great yesterday.

    New captain deserves a mention - Stuey Horner was superb. Tom Farrer looks a likely type. And I reckon we're going ok when Blake Simondson can't get a game.

    Wind definitely picked up. But I would have said it wasn't there right at the start. Those earlier games were no lie - it has clicked for McCabe.

    Review Round 1, 2026: Box Hill Hawks v Sydney Swans, 20 March 2026, 12.35pm @ Kennedy Community Centre

    Hill flew for a gutsy mark in the opening minutes and got utterly crunched. One of those ones where you could hear the bodies smash together up in the stands. Got up to lay a tackle but then couldn't move for ages. Came off and would have been really sore all game. I'd give him a pass for...

    Easy to miss on the emails - be aware if you're going to the KCC on Friday for Box Hill and want to park in the facility you need to pre-purchase a spot for $5.
