  • Haven't finalised their 2021 list yet, but now have the full complement of over-22 players (aligned club can only have 12 players over 22)
  • Of the ex AFL players, announces Fergus Greene and Callum Porter from the Dogs joining the already announced Hugh Beasley, Jordan Cunico and Ed Phillips.
  • Also have signed speedster Lachie Bramble from Williamstown.
  • Confirms Trent Mynott, one of Dylan Moore's buddies and a former Essendon rookie, is still on the list after he signed up last year for the ultimately abandoned season.
  • "Like Mynott, captain Damian Mascitti, key 2020 signing Josh Deluca, the fast-emerging Vince Adduci, Brayden Kilpatrick, Stuart Horner, Lachie Walker and Mason De Wit have recommitted."

Shaping up as a very exciting season - you would imagine there will be "conferences" when you take into a account 22 teams but only 16 rounds - draw is going to me massive factor.

Also good to see so many delisted AFL players commit looking for a 2nd chance.

Conferences don't help at all to make uneven draws fairer. They actually make it worse.

Have noticed on Hawthorn's Facebook posts that they refer to the seconds team as 'Reserves' rather than Box Hill. Is this a subtle attempt to rebrand Box Hill? They did something similar a few years ago by changing Box Hill's guernsey to a Hawthorn one which was totally unnecessary as the colours were the same and Hawthorn play and train in so many different guernseys that the design was hardly an issue.

I'm hoping that it was literally a case of Hawthorn and the Bulldogs leftover listed players needing a practice match. Like the scrimmages last year, but topped up with VFL players.

Box Hill's practice matches will be scheduled through the 2nd half of March in the lead up to the VFL season starting in April.

Typical that when the structure of the comp was announced at the start of Feb they said the draw would be released by the end of Feb.
And no mention of it since.
It'll probably end up getting released in small blocks like the AFL last year.
