Expectations: Looking forward to the return of Jayden Hunt and the VFL debut of Jake Lovett wearing #46.

Hoping the Scorpions show some more fight this week than they did last week when things were going sour for them.

Dean Terlich has recovered from last week's injury but Max King is out with a hamstring injury and Oscar McDonald has also not recovered from his groin injury. No sign of Dean Kent.

For once - a short walk to the ground for me. After all these games being jealous of AngryAtCasey.

And I will go no matter what the weather.

Unless I'm dragged into the G by some mates.

Any reports would be much appreciated.

Box Hill Hawks well on top in the development league game where they lead Casey by 50 points in the third quarter.

Yikes.

Lost connection for a while there.

Jamar and Stretch here and ready for the start of the game but no sign of a chopper.

BH 2.1.13 to Casey 0.1.1 at 10 mins into 1st. JKH butchered a set shot to go out on the full. Behind was to Terlich with a long shot in the run.

Scorps under pressure in the backline a lot of the time. Terlo and Riley been in a fair bit of play.

First goal to Nathan Page. Box Hill lead by 7 points

Moncrieff goals and there's a point in it.

Hawks now 3.3 vs 2.1.

Haws doing a lot of streaming past their own for handball receives on the run. Just scored another goal after a lot of short passes up the wing by Scorps with one weak link causing a turnover.

Apparently Lovett is impressing.

No Fitzy here today?!

Quarter Time Box Hill Hawks 4.3.27 lead Casey Scorpions 2.1.13

Goals Moncrieff Page

Jack Fitzpatrick withdrew with an illness.

Goal to Spencer but quick reply.

Fitzy pulled out sick yesterday according to dev team player. Apparently 17 Dees players have been affected by a bug - Fitz, Watts, N Jones included.

Nice straight set shot by Ro Bail for a goal.

Bail goals but Box Hill keep answering every time Casey goals.

BH 7.8.50 to 4.2.26 still in 2nd qtr. BH against the wind but looking the stronger team.

Hawks lead at half time 8.8.56 to 4.4.28

Goals: Bail, Moncrieff, Page, Spencer

Disposals: Riley 21, Terlich 14, Bail 13, Kennedy-Harris 12

Don't know any stats but I've seen a lot of involvement from Riley. Jamar has been good since coming on half way through the 1st. But Spencer is the main big guy doing the running to most contests. Nice snap for him to get a goal although Hunt was free for a joe the goose in the goal square (seems to be a specialty of his).

Salem has had a fair bit of it but is not doing anything special to my eye. Not taking the game on, just doing a kick forward and not always a good pass - a couple of up and unders.

Toump hasn't been in the play much. Stretch a little moreso and looks lively.

The centre square is a sticky quagmire from turf wickets making it really hard to get a clean clearance for either side.

Have only noticed Lovett get one possie and he looked composed in traffic, weaving around and getting out a nice handball under pressure.

Bail is doing a lot of running as usual and is consistent but not spectacular.

Jordie doesn't seem to be in play as much as recent weeks.

White has had a few touches but playing in defence and they are getting overrun by waves of Hawks.

Hunt had a spectacular ride on top of a pack in the goal square - Howe-like, but couldn't bring the ball to ground. Haven't seen much of him otherwise, but his usual form is to pick up in the 2nd half.

Play has resumed with Box Hill booting the first two goals for the term and skipping away to a 41 point lead.

Hawks with the breeze now 12.9.81 to Scorps 4.4.28.

We are really missing a forward target. So many forward entries this qtr have been marked by a Hawks player virtually unopposed.

Not looking good here with the Hawks dominant.

Salem has had a lot more this qtr. been really strong in and under packs around the wing.

Another cameo by Lovett was impressive. Good decision making and nice forward pass to get the ball clear out of traffic.

JKH seems to be playing with more dash and intent.

Another goal to Hawks for. 88 to 30 lead.
