Who will win.. and why?
Forums
Port should win, their stronger up forward and only need to break even around the ground to kick a winning score.
Box Hill have done well to get this far but the top 2 sides have stood out for most of the year and expect both to get through. If Box Hill give Port a start then they are really no chance, as Port are really good at finishing sides off.
For Box Hill to win they would really have to close the game up and restrict Port to probably less than 12 goals.
This should be a classic game. The top side and Premiership favorite against the best performed side in the league of late. I think Box Hill Hawks will win by less than goal.
I like your thinking mate. I'd love nothing more than to see my Stangs get over the top this weekend, but I admit - it will be a very, very tough ask.
Not only do Port have a good batch of AFL players, they have some very experienced VFL listed players (Obst, Rose, Lawrence).

Not sure if it was some kind of optical illusion with those silver jumpers last week, but Box Hill looked physically a lot bigger than Werribee last week.
Could be some terrific matchups on Saturday.
ons, what are your thoughts of Leigh Harding not playing this week. Personally, his inclusion would have worried me simply because he is the kind of bloke that could be a match winner.
He can be a great player when he is going well. Not sure why he hasnt been picked.. I guess he must be injured (can a North supporter tell me?)
Pretty settled side picked for Port, havent closely examined the changes to Box Hills list yet.
I hear the weather is going to be wet on the weekend, so both teams might opt for a bit less height accross the ground.
*edit (from BoM: Saturday Showers. Local hail. Min 7, Max 12)
Looks like the Mustangs have named the same squad as last week, although there are some positional changes.
Let's hope the umpires crack down on Box Hill's 'holding up' of opposition players after they've taken a mark. Great tactic to use on TEAC Oval. But how long is long enough?
I hate Box Hill so I want the Borough to win this one.
What a terrific game in very wet conditions... Box Hill played well, but Port were just a bit too good on the day.
Look forward to seeing the result of tomorrows game.. Hopefully the Borough will turn on the sprinklers overnight to keep it nice and damp for tomorrows match.
I'm a devasted man, and that's all I have to say about that.
Except - good year for Box Hill after a tedious start. Port were too good.
