2013 VFL Grand Final - Geelong v Box Hill Hawks

Submitted by NorthPort on

Official discussion thread!

I was hoping Werribee would make it through for the good of the competition, as they still appear to be a club in their own right, whereas Box Hill really aren't their own club anymore with the jumper change, song change and name change etc.

Still it might bring a bigger crowd along or it could work against the VFL, with general supporters less likely to attend a 'reserves' Grand Final.

From what I saw of todays game, it's difficult to see the Hawks really challenging Geelong. I wonder what impact Friday nights game between the two clubs will have on selection.

Cats are VERY good but not unbeatable, Box Hill play a similar game, quick & precise movement of the ball with some big strong marks in the forward line, the Mustangs are a good chance, just hope its a good game with a big crowd .....

Tipped Box Hill a couple of months back & have seen no reason to change my mind. They can only benefit from the two players that will be dropped to make way for Franklin & Rioli.
Just hope the Hawks can win for Damian Carroll, a great player & an even better person.

Anyone seen much in the way of PR for the GF ...?

I seen nothing so far. In recent years I cant recall getting any e-mail newsletters from my club about the finals.
