Jack Trengove had a quiet day but seemed to be gaining confidence and touch the further the game went. Max started tentatively at his first ruck contest but was soon into it although a little rusty. Given that it was his first outing since late 2011 and he virtually battled single handedly in the ruck (he changed with Cranbourne recruit Michael Boland in the first half but that player was "subbed" off at the main break), it looked a positive start for him. The Hawks had a tall side and didn't make things easy for Max.

He did. Played very well and would be a very good chance to fight his way back into the Melbourne team next week.

Final siren Box Hill 10.12.72 to Casey Scorpions 4.17.41. Stats: Magner 36,Terlich 33, Couch 29, Davis 27, Clisby 23, Evans 22, J.Tynan 21, Barry 18

Yes ... probably pre planned.Meanwhile, another goal to Kearns but a Box Hill player lining up for goal ... and misses. Less now 31 points.

Box Hill now 35 points in front and coasting. Terlich still best for Casey. Maxy in the rooms and Casey have no ruckmen.

Another goal to Box Hill and the lead is out to 4 goals. The Hawks are bigger and stronger and out marking Casey right across the ground.

Box Hill goal 7.9.51 to Casey 3.16.34.

Three Quarter Time: Casey Scorpions 3.16.34 to Box Hill 6.7.43. Stats: Magner 28, Couch 26, Terlich 25, Davis 23, J.Tynan 18, Clisby 17, Evans, Kent, McDonald 14

After Casey peppered the goals for 10 minutes without any luck, a Box Hill kick clears the pack and its a goal. 3.16.34 to 6.6.42.

Dean Terlich stamping himself as best on ground but Casey cannot buy a goal 3.15.33 to 5.6.36.

Kearns again (I think) with a goal against the run of play. Casey down by 9 points.

A Box Hill forward left alone giving the visitors an easy goal in the shadows of half time and Casey trails by 14 points. Casey Scorpions 2.8.20 to Box Hill 5.4.34 Stats: Magner 19, Couch, Davis 18, Terlich 15, J.Tynan 14, McDonald 11 Goals: Kearns Page

Box Hill goal from a free and the lead's back to 7 points. Jack Trengove very quiet.

Max takes a strong mark and kicks long. Ben Kearns roves the pack for a Casey goal to bring it to within a point.

Box Hill getting away a bit with their third, again from a free and now, a miss from a free downfield makes it 8 points - 20 - 12.

And they hit the front after a free kick and goal.

Box Hill get the first of the second term. Lead now 5 points.

That's also the quarter time score. Casey in control but only 10 points in front. Casey Scorpions 1.5.11 to Box Hill Hawks 0.1.1 Stat leaders: Magner 10, Couch 9, Terlich, Pollard, Davis 8, Clisby 7.
