[Rudi Gilham]

Don't hold me to it, but I believe that might be Billy Hicks of the Oakleigh Chargers. A 188cm goalkicking forward.

 

[streetspirit]

Yep, that'd be it Rudi. He was an U19 with Blackburn locally last year also, so makes sense.

 

[Dewnior]

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but I thought some of you may be interested in knowing that the Box Hill Hawks are looking for Sports Trainers now. Here are the links to the jobs advertised.

Troy Cossor in a BorderMail article.

He's 205cms and a ripping 108kgs - oh, and he's still a teenager

Littlejohn did speak about him at training

Spoke to Littlejohn today

Approximate Box Hill practice match schedule -

The first match sim against the Western Bulldogs will be 8 qtrs - so second half will feature Box Hill players

The following week when we play the Dogs in Tassie, Box Hill will play the Dogs again at Western Oval.

The week after we'll play Richmond at PRO.

Then the week of AFL round 1, we'll play Essendon at The Hanger.

 

[stemline]

And VFL round 1 is March 24, 2pm v Casey at Casey. And on Ch7.

I don't think theres many matchups worse to start the season. Southport @ Southport maybe.

Anyone anywhere right. We should be aimimg to win it this year

 

[FB19]

I just created a new thread on the main board for people to post game replay links. Shout out to my hero grumbleguts who sent them to me by DM last year but others seemed to want the links too but direct links, so we can avoid seeing the game scores as we are overseas and watch in the evening with a brew. Anyone can obviously post the link but it’s not for any talk about the game or it defeats the purpose just links. Thanking anyone that contributes in advance it’s incredibly appreciated by those of us a world away who can’t get to any games. Cheers

I don't really have a problem with not playing three of the weakest teams (Coburg, Frankston and the Bullants), but I wonder which teams will get a significant advantage by playing all three?

Clubs in the bottom half of last years ladder will. Geelong for example, I think plays them all.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Too scared to see how it lines up with our AFLfixture. We always get right royally shafted where they never line up well both from a player and spectator perspective. At least you can catch up VFL games online these days.

[Rudi Gilham]

Looks like Heath Bidgood, a small defender from Frankston YCW, and Andrew Mathieson, a GWS top-up player from last season, have both been offered contracts by Box Hill.
