BOX Hill turned to one of its own to replace outgoing premiership coach Damian Carroll.

Marco Bello will guide the Hawks in 2014 after Carroll moved up the chain at Box Hill's AFL partner Hawthorn to become head coach of the club's development academy.

The reshuffle came in the immediate aftermath of Box Hill's Victorian Football League premiership win.

Bello said it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

"I'm very delighted to get it. It was a bit of a surprise in one way but I'm certainly looking forward to grabbing it with both hands," he said.

"Having been at Box Hill previously, and knowing the machinations of it, it's not a job they give away lightly."

FOR months, football pundits have been asking themselves: who can stop the VFL Cats?

After the grand final, the question has been answered: the Box Hill Hawks can.

And they did it in style, claiming their first senior VFL premiership since 2001 after downing the Cats by 21 points at Etihad Stadium.

Box Hill applied relentless pressure from the opening bounce to the final siren, matching - and regularly beating - Geelong all over the ground.

IF an 87-point win could be considered routine, then Box Hill’s win at Bendigo on Saturday would certainly qualify.

The Hawks travelled up the M79 knowing they needed to return with a win, and a big one, to make the day worthwhile.

The Gold was 0-4 going into the weekend, with a percentage hovering near 30 per cent, while Box Hill was chasing consecutive wins for the first time this season.

Despite the odds being against the home side, it was the Gold that started the game the better.

Box Hill led by just five points at the first break despite having the advantage of a stiff breeze, which Bendigo used early in the second to take a one-goal lead.

THE Box Hill Hawks proved that they're not just making up the numbers after upsetting Sandringham by 30 points in an elimination final at Trevor Barker Beach Oval yesterday.

The Hawks' forward set-up had their most dangerous look for the season with Adam Pattison, Broc McCauley and Max Bailey all floating as the big targets with exciting goal sneaks Amos Frank and Derick Wanganeen at their feet.

McCauley finished with four goals, while Xavier Ellis kicked two crucial goals in the final term to stem the tide as the Zebras continued to hunt down the lead.

Advertisement Luke Andrews continued his super season and is perhaps Box Hill's biggest hope of continuing its success of breeding players into the AFL. He finished with 25 touches, while Tom Schneider was also brilliant with 27 touches.

DAMIAN Carroll gave his troops a tick for their efforts despite falling just short of the ladder-leaders at North Port Oval on Saturday.

The Box Hill coach watched a valiant effort, but it wasn't a match-winning one, as Port Melbourne continued its recent domination of the Hawks.

Box Hill gave up a four-goal advantage in the first quarter and had to battle to stay in touch with the Borough.

The Hawks fought back to make it a contest and then fought back again from a late deficit to almost snatch what would have been a magnificent victory.

The Borough had looked home, holding a 15-point advantage deep in the final term, but late goals to Broc McCauley and skipper Daniel Pratt took the match down to the wire.

BENDIGO turned in a gold-standard effort to put a stop to Box Hill's hopes of adding to its VFL winning streak at City Oval.

It took the Hawks 11 rounds to notch consecutive wins, but the Gold made sure it wouldn't be three-on-the-trot, pushing past the home side on the back of a strong second half.
