Quote:Several WAFL clubs have approached players from the VFL club Box Hill with a view of attracting them west for next season. Already, West Perth has signed Mick Witkowski from the Hawks. Subiaco are keen on big man Brendan Rinaldi and have also spoken to Andrew Buckenara, the son of former Subiaco and Hawthorn champion Gary. East Perth have registered an interest with twenty-two year old Trevor Batchelor. It is also believed at least one club has an eye on Tim Harvey who stands at 188cm and is a capable goal kicker.

In the Whitehorse leader, because the council okayed Box Hills use of the ground 7 months instead of 6, the VFL is now chipping in to bring the ground up to standard. There's going to be a new social club on the new club rooms, the old presidents room will be demolished, the entrances will be revamped, and they said that shelter would e built over the stands! Not sure exactly what they last one meant, perhaps they mean over the terrace, or the grassy hill. And the practise wicket will be off the ground too! Sounds good. Gonna be in use for VFL practise matches, and the cricket clubs unhappy, they have to find another venue to play finals. Oh well, footy's better. GO STANGAS!

Did anyone see Tim Harvey being interviewed on the news when Box Hill returned from Bali? Evidently they were only 50m or so away from the blast, and came home early. There was an article in the Sun as well. They said that because of happy hour drinks, that was the only reason that they weren't closer to the blasts. Hope all the boys are alright, bit close to home!

As reported on the Homepage, Allers has gone to North Adelaide. I'm officially sick of the SANFL. Huge loss as he is a terrific clubman and obviously our captain and a Vic Rep.

Andy Collins has stepped down as coach of Box Hill. Joined Cricket Victoria or something. That's a shame, he was really developing something, and i think it needed a few more years. Hopefully they pick the best coach, one who'll continue using talent from the EFL. Wonder if Hawthorn or Box Hill will make the choice? Maybe Gerald Fitzgerald. Nah, don't think he'd like the trip out.

This week's elimination final in the ressies between Werribee and Box Hill will now be player at Werribee ( Chirnside Park) at 2pm on Saturday. Huge blow for the Hawk supporters who were intending on tearing over the the G after the game at Port in order to farewell Nick Holland and see Hawthorn's last game of the year. Follow your hearts guys , doubt very much it will be held against you either way.

Just a heads up for anyone who hasn't caught the news. The Round 20 reserves game between Bendigo and Box Hill has been changed from Sunday the 21st August to Saturday 20th August at 12 noon. The game will be now be played at Golden Square Oval , Wade St Golden Square and NOT at QEO.

Obviously Holland is a big loss to Box Hill, no doubt about that, but does his injury spell the end for their finals campaign? Certainly more pressure and another quality defender becomes available to play on Clinton Alleway, but I think that a large part of the reason Box Hill are in the 8, is because their midfield works hard, and from what I saw on Saturday, use the ball quite well.

Just wondering how he is going in the Box Hill Hawks side? I umpired his brother in the Ballarat Football League Lake Wendouree vs Sunbury game. Tim Little plays for Sunbury. Just wondering how his brother went.
