Half time

Best of the dees are Billings (save for some ordinary disposals), Laurie, Spargo with Adams and Tholstrup being solid.

Tall forwards struggling to get involved playing on quality defenders and being let down by some delivery inside 50.

Casey wasting chances but still well in the game.

HT Box Hill Hawks 7.2.44 lead Casey 5.7.37

Not much here that offers hope for the future. No impact from the tall forwards, Laurie as unreliable in front of goal as ever and Hawthorn as slick as their seniors: everything we are not

I agree. Is the lack of young quality players coming through a result of trading away so many 2nd, 3rd & 4th rounders to get back into the first round over recent years?

Wasn’t Bailey Laurie a player that was a result of trading back into the first round?

Hawks pick off Casey for another Seagull.*

Kynan Brown great rundown tackle!

Better quarter from Casey back in the game but profligate with ball use.

Jack Billings sailing into the sunset in full sail. Having a serious crack.

Some of the younger brigade lifting too. Paddy Cross, Riley Baldi, Pup, Kolt come on!

• soft over the back sling shot goal untouched by opposition opponents.

Frankston are doing the job for us against the Brisbane Lions - a win could put Casey in the top six and a possible break in the week before the finals proper get under way.

Are we expecting a bigger crowd at Casey than they will get at Hobart? Maybe a larger television audience?

Heaps of people here. It’s sunny with no wind.

Nice to see many of the firsts here.

Box Hill strike first from a free kick in front of goal.

Wow 👏👏Goal to Casey

Just as well Bonner snagged that after burning Spargypants

that maggot just inserted himself into the game

we're lucky they didn't goal from it

Half way through the quarter Hawks are a point ahead.

Johnson goals and puts Casey 5 points up.

Jeffo off with a right foot issue, big toe. Grimacing in pain. They’re taping it up now

He’s on the stationary bike now. He said it’s still sore but not broken. Phew
