The night was one for firsts and lasts, as three first-time winners took home their respective side’s best and fairest awards, our…
Our final month of action for 2017 provided the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. From daring to dream we might go all the way came a crushing reality that our season had ended prematurely. There truly is a fine line between elation and devastation. Still, it’d be unfair to reduce our campaign…
An offence finding it’s groove, a defence tightening up and key players hitting top form highlighted a month in which we played some of our best footy of the season. Round Fourteen v Werribee (Home) Box Hill welcomed Werribee to City Oval in round fourteen looking to protect top spot and inch ever closer to…
A couple of setbacks gave us the opportunity to bounce back in the third block of four games in 2017. Opportunity is borne out of adversity, after all. We lost twice, won twice and spent four of five weeks – including the bye – atop the VFL ladder. Round Nine – BYE Round Ten v…

Box Hill have fallen just one step shy of a fourth Grand Final in five years, beaten by Richmond in Saturday’s VFL Preliminary Final. The Tigers came into the clash having already survived two cutthroat finals in as many weeks, whilst the Hawks looked to capitalise on the week off following victory over Port Melbourne…
Just two sleeps until the biggest game of the year to date. Chris Newman and his match committee have opted for a relatively unchanged line-up, with Ty Vickery the only man who figured in the Qualifying Final win over Port Melbourne confirmed to miss.
