I think our finals' hopes are gone after the last few weeks, but it would be nice to give this mob and pasting.

Box Hill won't line up anything like this: Hawthorn play today. Expect 5 changes; 4 interchanges and 1 emergency.

We have lost Lang, who actually played one of his best games for us yesterday (not that it beat much).

Does anyone know what has happened to Kieran Collins, injured?

Does anyone know what has happened to Kieran Collins, injured?

Last I hear he was still injured. He only played a game or two. I know the club was glad to get him, but he hasn't been a contributor at all. Hope he can produce something for next year, otherwise he will be a huge mistake.

[LP]

FMD, Northern 3-11-29 to 7-9-51.

We don't want the win!

[laj]

We lead by 7 pts at 3/4 time after kicking the last 5 of the term. Trick is now to hold it against a strong wind.

[laj]

4pts down 18 min into the last qtr. Need to find a goal into a very strong breeze. Could be a short qtr as Box Hill has only kicked one.

[laj]

10pts now.

[laj]

Box Hill win 10.22 to 8.17.

[crashlander]

Disappointing, but we don't play so well in poor conditions. Something we will have to work on for 2020.

BOX HILL HAWKS        1.2        6.9        7.13        10.22 (82)
NORTHERN BLUES      2.5        3.9        8.14        8.17 (65)

GOALS
Northern Blues: Polson 2, De Koning, Fasolo, Fisher, Owies, Palmer Phillips

BESTS
Northern Blues: Quirk, De Koning, Cuningham, Goddard, Stocker, Polson
That must do Kye Quirk's chances of a rookie spot a deal of good.
