Too early to say in terms of today’s game but he played one game for Casey last year and he showed some good skills. He’s playing on a wing and is lightly built but he’s already been involved in a few of their attacking moves.

It’s all Box Hill early in the second term. They lead 30 - 21.

Casey goal to get back to 2 points down.

And another from a soccer of the ground and a snap from Joel Scapin and suddenly they’re 10 points in front.

A free downfield to Jobe Scapin results in Casey’s fourth in a row. He now has three goals and Casey leads 7.4.46 to 4.6.30.

A goal against the run of play brings the margin back to 10 points at 19 minutes.

A strong mark and goal to Casey’s Braeden Bowden is answered in quick time by the Hawks.

Jobe Scapin. 👏👏👏Quick half forward from Gippsland Power. Excellent goal sense.

Half Time Casey Demons 8.5.53 lead Box Hill Hawks 6.6.42

After another slow start to a quarter when Box Hill took the lead, Casey’s Hampton kicked his second. 60 - 56.

Scores level 62 each.

There are no team sheets at the ground either as the team runs out on the field. Judging by the numbers there don’t seem to be many AFL listed players out there.

Box Hill have a few Hawthorn listed players playing today.

Bizarre situation that Hawks can have AFL listed players play in this practice match but we cant?

Hawks with a running goal retake the lead 68 - 63.

I’m not sure who’s playing for Box Hill but they certainly have the advantage in height, size and fitness. Their aerial dominance has been crucial today.

A nice snap from Toby SInnema brings Casey back to a 6 point deficit late in the term.

And as the siren sounds, Box Hill are leading 11.10.76 to 10.9.69.

My thoughts are with Jack Dyer and his loved ones today - absolute nightmare of a game to call.

Demons losing their composure as Box Hill kick two and dominate the opening minutes of the third to go to a 22 point lead.

It’s ridiculous. I can’t understand it why the players who didn’t play in our short practice game last week can’t even be allowed to play today. AFL ops decision is bizarre !!

Cheffers marks and kicks his second goal but the Demons trail by 15 at the 15 minute mark.

Lual Luamon sneaks one in to give the Demons hope. 83 -92 at 20 minutes.

Two out of bounds on the full hasn’t helped the cause.

Bowden marks in the goalsquare and it’s a two point game.

Box Hill kicks a goal seconds before the siren. The Hawks record an 8 point win.

Kudos to Toby SInnema who brought the team back into the game when all seemed lost. He’s lightly built but as he gets stronger and with more experience at this level he will become a very good player.

I understand the rule to be that AFL-listed players can't play the weekend before the official comp starts (whenever that may be for each team). In recent years players could get exemptions eg. Tom Matthews/Campbell would get an exemption as they haven't played in the preseason comp. It looks like they've scrapped that though, which is unfair. Hawks players would have been banned last weekend, I assume.
