And how dows he look??

I'm also tracking via the comments mate.

Frosty had an excellent bit of play on the HB Flank. Sold a bit of candy and drilled a pass to a teammate on the wing. Other than that haven't noticed him too much

Our centre clearance team has at times has been Salem, VDB, Trenners and ruck Spence or King.  They won the clearances convincingly that qtr.  

I thought Scorps would struggle this week with the loss of both ANB and Newton, but the ins of VDB and Salo seem to have more than made up for it so far. One of ANBs strengths this year has been his 4 qtr endurance. Guess we are yet to see if the replacements are up to his standard on that score.

Grimes had also been in a lot of the clearance work, incl at throw ins. He continues to have really good form when on the ball. Doesn't excite with cleanness or polish, but there is not question he is often effective. His experience really seems to be showing through, and he looks to be really determined. He is definitely not cruising.

Half time, and time for the catering report.

Egg and bacon roll once again did not disappoint, despite the fact I was waiting all day for it. 

Wrote up the 'match of the round' one year for a couple of leagues bjDee. It was only two games in that I started to review the egg and bacon rolls, almost to the expense of the matches themselves. You can tell a lot about a club by the standard of it's egg and bacon rolls. Glad to hear Casey's are up there.

That was the pass to Dawes leading to a goal. He dropped a sitter switch pass across the backline. Then quickly recovered, ran around opponent, took off and put a good 10m clearance on his opponent in a hurry before a nice kick to Dawes' marking advantage. 

Joel Smith #79 did a couple of things that quarter that were very impressive.  He is very quick. One to keep an eye on. 

Salem clearance Dawes mark. Point

Box Hill have had the hood over Casey for a number of years too. This would be a huge win if they can get up.

I beg your pardon?

First BH clearance win so far this qtr. We have won all others.

Scorps 66

BH 43

8 mins into 3rd qtr. 

Salem went down on far side of ground.  Might have been a leg injury?  Walked off unaided with trainers, not limping. Has been taken into rooms with Physio. 

Salem off accompanied by medicos and straight up the race bit sure what issue was

Thanks KC and all the other posters out at Casey really enjoying the commentary - Go Scorps!!

A goal to the Hawks but it's still the Scorps. They lead by 17 points.

BH back on top here with 3 in a row.

Lucky goal to BH. Intercepted a hand pass from Scorps player and snapped a goal.

Yhen a clearance, mark a goal to BH as a follow up.

Now 20 mins in and it's 67 to 62. 

Hulett misses from a tight angle. One goal in it.

Hulett marks deep in th pocket. Point

Terlo set shot. Straight out. Kick from 50. Drifted right for a behind. 

Salem looks to be testing an ankle looks fine

Terlich missed a long shot for goal. BH get another one out the back and score an easy one from the goal square

End to end goal for BH.

The backs in this game press right up to the half fwd line, hence Terlo'o opportunity to mark and score. But it hurts on the rebound. 

The Hawks came back at the end with the last four goals to trail by 1 point at three quarter time.
