As Box Hill is not quite fully Hawthorn, and it has abandoned its traditional "Whitehorse/Mustangs" nicknames, perhaps it is ready for a name change? A possibility could be Hawk Hill. Another is Box Thorn, something prickly and (ob)noxious.

They are Hawthorn reserves who just happen play in Box Hill...that is the only Box Hill connection
Hawthorn in drag, just like Carlton in drag (Northern Slimes).
Yesterday what on earth was the Slimes (Northern Blues) trying to prove wearing red with a CFC emblem. Why just don't they call themselves Carlton reserves and fork out the full licence fee. Preston are like the Tasmanian Devil EXTINCT !!!
they should bring back some old clubs like Camberwell and Prahran i wonder who North Port would follow then :)
Bring back Northcote Dragons.

As opposed to the Sandringham Saints who happen to play in sandringham?? People in glass houses........
Sandringham Saints???
Box Hill Hawks (nee Mustangs), Coburg Tigers (nee Lions, and duplicating Werribee, which copied Richmond), Bendigo Bombers (lapsed, but nee Diggers), Northern Blues--aargh!
Sandringham Saints???
Frankston is the only untainted former VFA club, with its moniker Dolphins given by Jim Blake, many years ago.
Sandringham Saints....no no no,sorry never!
I saw a photo of the Hawks white jumper with a brown hawk on it.. It also had a white Mustang on it.. nearly invisible on a white jumper!
I can't see Sandy following suit.
Changed the jumper
Changed the theme song
Changed from Mustangs to Hawks
Sandy....kept the jumper...
Kept the theme song
Still the Zebras...not saints
See the difference?????
That glass house is looking ok from the outside...
Of course that's only the facts we're dealing with
But....don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
How about either of:
- East Hawthorn Hawks
- West Waverley Hawks
What is the state of Waverley Park? Could it be used to host games? If it can why not move Box Hill out to Waverley where the Seniors training base is and they could become the Waverley Hawks.
