VFL 2023

[Corona Man]

Ventured down to Preston Oval on Saturday (By hell it was cold) to have a look at Box Hill playing Preston Bullants.

Preston jumped out to a 4 goal lead, over a very lethargic Box Hill side. Not sure how many magnets were moved at quarter time, but it was a revved up Box Hill in the second quarter. Banging through 8 or 9 goals. The quarter went for 35 minutes. Extraordinary.

We were sitting in the grandstand, among the scouts from rival clubs. 2 from Gold Coast on my right, and a couple from the Dockers behind me.... along with the umps observer etc.

Went down at half time to get Mrs C a coffee, and a beer for myself. Standing in the coffee line was a bloke who really. really looked like Jack Ginnivan. Because it was. A little taller than he looks on TV, and has an acne condition! Wandered why he was at the game. Spoke to a mate who said he was probably there to watch his mate, ex Pie Callum Brown, who was playing (and very well) for Box Hill. Old man Gavin was seated just to our left. I hadn't noticed him, til my mate pointed him out.

In the end a fairly convincing win for Box Hill. Max Ramsden probably best for BH.

Still thawing out today.
