KC from Casey

Jimmy Munro, who rarely plays a bad game, goals- 70 to 24.

Lefau gets his second and its Casey by 40 points.

Apart from two goals scored in quick succession, it's been difficult to score even with the wind. Casey need a couple more goals - and JKH gets one they lead 58 - 24 and we are past the half way mark of the quarter

He's been impressive again but I think he needs a full AFL pre season before playing with the big boys.

The big Wale-Buxton gets the first goal after half time. His ruck partner continues to dominate and has more than 40 hit outs. Lefau gets another and it's 51 - 24.

At half time the Dees lead by 15 points - 2019 Hard Yakka / Totally Workwear VFL Casey Demons 4.8.32 5.9.39 Box Hill Hawks 1.0.6 3.6.24 Goals Casey Demons Bedford Dunkley Jordon Kennedy Harris White Disposals Kennedy Harris McDonald Munro J Wagner 12

Box Hill have kicked a goal to bring the margin back to 16 points. Oscar McDonald building in confidence.

Preuss and Wale-Buxton dominating. I haven't seen much of Bradtke. Pittonet not playing for the Hawks. You'll be happy to know that Box Hill have kicked a few behinds. It's 5.9.39 to 2.5.17 now.

At the half way mark of the term, Casey 5.9.39 to Box Hill 2.1.13. The Demons turning it into a dour defensive struggle with Jimmy Munro having a bit of influence on that score.

Box Hill score their first for the quarter at the 6 minute mark. 39 - 13.

Casey 5.9.39 to Box Hill 1.1.7 Preuss already has 20 hit outs!

Dunkley kicks a vital goal early in the second.

Yes and it could come back to bite them because they wasted a strong wind. QT 2019 Hard Yakka / Totally Workwear VFL Casey Demons 4.8.32 Box Hill Hawks 1.0.6 Goals Casey Demons Bedford Jordon Kennedy Harris White Disposals Kennedy Harris 9 Jordon Preuss C Wagner J Wagner White

James Jordon kicks what I think is his first goal for Casey 31 - 6.

Toby Bedford goals and its 3.6.24 to 1.0.6

Yes

With Preuss dominating in the ruck, Casey have done all the attacking but finding goals hard to get as the game settles into a slog in the wet. C Wagner and JKH going well. 17 - 6.

Casey 2.3.15 to Box Hill 1.0.6 Jordan Lewis presumably gone to Brizvegas because he’s not here.

Raining goals as Mitch White snags one. Three minutes in and 3 goals kicked.

Blistering start with JKH scoring a goal in the opening minute. Hawks just replied.

Wet and a bit wooly in the Cranbourne area today and a little reminiscent of the day late last season at City Oval Box Hill when the Hawks mauled the Demons. Cold as ...

The Box Hill Hawks monstered the undermanned and underdone Casey Demons in their opening round clash. The return game is vital to Casey's 2019 campaign and they are still smarting from injury issues with Declan Keilty and Kade Kolodjashnij likely outs.

The lead has been pegged back to 21 points again. Casey might have finals aspirations but to battle to put away one of the bottom clubs is not a good pointer for the rest of the year.

Corey Wagner gets his second to make it a 27 point lead.
