Liam Hulett is indeed playing in the DL - just kicked a goal.

Heh, pretty handy when you meet most of your teammates for the first time in the GF.

Is Joel Smith playing, or is he in this afternoon?

Why is Huey in the D league?

Half time and it's a repeat of the Semi Final massacre.

Box Hill lead 14.7.91 to Casey Scorpions 4.4.28.

Apparently he has been crook the last week or so, so he is just taking it easy in the D league

Thought it might have come from The old dart. 

Strange people!

Apparently Grimes is crook too and won't be playing today

Box Hill in Surrey looks like a very nice place. Apparently named after the Box trees that grow there.

The man who invented television (John Logie Baird) lived there and conducted some of his experiments on the Box Hill.

Must say I like the local Box Hill Oval (Vic)

You need a passport too DC, especially if venturing into Box Hill Central shops. And foreign currency. 

middle of the ground reminds me of the old suburban vfl grounds. plus the 50m arc only a metre or so from the centre square. wonder why they couldn't play at carlton.

wonder if the locals still spit on the players as they go through the race

Cmon Scorps!

Matt Jones demonstrating why he is not up to senior football 

Smitty!

Look forward to KC and other posts coming through this arvo, unfortunately working. Let's hope they turn up to play. How stiff is Grimes, can't take a trick. GO SCORP's!!!!

Joel Smith has been in a lot of the play so far vs his normal form. He's switched on.

Col Garland has been hot in defence too. 

Beautiful goal by Tim Smith to get the scoreboard ticking over properly after 3 behinds.

Should recruit Tim Smith!! Needs to get his bod and work rate up for AFl level probably but looks the goods as a very nice medium tall forward option who also applies forward pressure nicely!

Seeing this game  is on TV and radio and I'm going to need battery life, I'll only be on sparingly this afternoon.

The Development League was something of a disaster for Casey.
