News 2015-2016 off-season news thread

[Dixie Flatline]

Let's start this off with a piece of good news that Box Hill's captain David Mirra has re-signed with the club for another season.

I hear Liam Tobin is looking to go elsewhere. Watch this space. Would be a big loss

 

[The BIG X]

Very suprised to learn that

Hey guys just saw you appointed Nathan Foley as a senior-assistant, think he will be superb for you guys. He along with Newman is most credited with turning our culture around from the debacle it was in the early 2000s. Won best clubman multiple times and was always referred to as the benchmark in terms of training and preparation, turned himself from a rookie into a pretty damn good midfielder until injuries hit. You've picked out two of our best this off-season.

Can anyone confirm the rumour Damian Yze might be joining the BH coaching staff? I was hoping someone might have mentioned it in one of these threads. I'll keep looking.

I cannot confirm or deny

Better put a team on it Agent Smith.

What I would like to see on the player retention / recruiting front for 2016 (and yes, it is very much sentimental):

Sam Iles, Marc Lock and Tom Gordon all commit for another year

Ayden Kennedy to return after sitting out last season with an ACL

Past captains Luke Andrews and Lucas Markovic as well former Hawthorn players in Jordan Kelly and Tom Schneider all return to the club

Joffa Simpkin commits to staying at Box Hill after his delisting

Pete mcevoy's gone to coburg according to Paul amy

Am a bit conflicted on this. BHH could easily have won three flags, yet how many have been drafted over this time? I enjoy watching BHH win however I am leaning towards us becoming more of a pathway into the AFL.

 

[streetspirit]

Exon has left as well

 

[stemline]

We've added Max Warren - ex North

Kelly looks to be going to the Collingwood VFL club, according to Paul Amy on twitter.

Tom Schneider appears comfortable earning more money playing in local footy than he would playing VFL.

Simpkin probably won't make a decision on his future until the AFL list management period ends and he's not an AFL list somewhere.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Liked both exon and little big boy. But at the same time glad to see them hopefully get more chances to play regular senior vfl. Good luck and thanks!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

All these players leaving... feels like we are being plundered!

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Happens every year. Sign of a well run club in my view.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Another one gone Sam Collins has been drafted to Fremantle.

All the best to him (at least I won't get him mixed up with Tom Gordon anymore )

 

[The BIG X]

Well done Sam

 

[savagelunchbox]

Well done to Tom Gordon on being drafted.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

That tweet is spot on.
I played in a losing GF up bush where Damien Yze kicked 10 goals from CHF, and our CHB was the league representative CHB for about 5 years running. Could play.

His real name is "Yzeir", pronounced "whose air", which gave him the nickname 'knock knock'.

/useless info

Good addition to the coaching ranks.
